Playfully acknowledging his progress, Chito remarked (published as is), "Medyo labas pa rin yung ribs ko sa dibdib [emojis]...pero at least dahan dahan nang nawawala yung tiyan ko. [emojis]"
Chito expressed contentment with his leaner physique, stating that his physical condition takes precedence over his appearance: "Actually, oks lang naman sakin na payatot ako eh...basta healthy (at walang beer belly) [emojis]
"Alam ko po na madami pa akong bigas na kakainin (which is funny kasi hindi naman na ako nagra-rice), pero proud ako sa progress ko, at masaya ako now with how I look, and more importantly, with how I feel. [heart emoji]"

At 48 years old, Chito reflected on his improved health metrics, including cholesterol, blood sugar, uric acid, and blood pressure, saying, "Cholesterol, Blood Sugar, Uric Acid, BP, - lahat nabalik ko down to normal."
His dedication to a healthier lifestyle marks a remarkable achievement, considering his past habits of smoking and drinking, which he humorously mentioned.
"Para sa isang 48 yr old dude na dating malakas mag yosi at uminom, na nag-simula mag-rakenrol lifestyle at the age of 12, I think that is something worth flexing."
