There's no doubt that Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano is guided by a deep and unwavering faith.

He also reflected on moments when he faced criticism for sharing the gospel, yet his positivity and purpose remained unshaken.

"There have been people saying maybe you don't have to talk about the gospel anymore. I don't come up on stage to preach. I just came on stage and shared. Why? Because a lot of the body had gone through, and whatever I've read in the gospel, and whatever promises have been given to me, have been proven," said Gary during the media conference for his upcoming podcast series titled "Unshaken," which will debut in April.

Gary V added, "Even just by being here, I have to go back to the hospital and do some tests. But I am here. I am happy that I am. I have been bashed even if I don't say anything about the gospel. I am bashed. I don't think I can please everybody."

At the media conference in Taguig City, Gary V arrived in a wheelchair, accompanied by his team and his wife, Angeli Pangilinan. He explained that he was recovering from cellulitis, which had caused swelling in his left leg.

The 61-year-old singer graciously commented on faith when he responded to reports about the ongoing discussion involving Alvin Aragon, husband of former SexBomb Girls member Izzy Trazona, who has also spoken passionately about the gospel, which, at some point, offended netizens.
