Dito naman sa Pilipinas, ang kasama niya sa bahay ay ang inang si Conchita Razon.

"Ever since Pops and I separated, my mom and dad are also separated, so it's like, 'Hey, Mom, let's live together na lang? I'll take care of you naman...' I built her a small house inside my house... If you can picture my house, it is like the letter U and my mom's house is in the middle... Yeah, parang maze."

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON. Ayon kay Martin ay musically-inclined din si Santino.

"Oh, yeah, he loves  instruments. For his  second birthday, I got him a drum set,  an electric drum set. He loves to sing and dance. He has a mirror. Well, the mom is a teacher so she knows what the kids need at that age and one of them is to see himself, so he got a TV. He tries to imitate the TV, the cartoons with a mirror and he is doing everything  himself. He does a lot of acting, he does sound effects, but  he's a great singer...

"In the music class that he takes, according to the teacher who doesn't know who I am, the teacher doesn't know that I'm a singer, this kid in her class, the only one whose pitch is perfect. All the other kids are sintunado, like that."

Marunong na raw magbilang si Santino sa Tagalog at Spanish, pero mahirap daw kung dito sila sa Pilipinas ng ina titira.

"No, no, no. I think they're happier in the States. I know that the mom, Katrina, is a successful teacher in America, pre-school. She is already what they call a master teacher.  So when they awarded this award, parang in the business world she's moving up the ladder... professor teacher, master teacher, and then maybe one day assistant director and director...

"It's not that it's better to live in America. I'm just saying that they're not used to the traffic. They're not used to the, I don't know, there's-gonna-be-a-brownout-tomorrow kind of a life, you know? They're so set about their ways. They're so Americanized. So, it will be hard," pagtatapos ni Martin.
