Before this, Piolo admitted he was very evasive when asked about KC. "Ilang years or ilang interviews na rin na, sabi nga nila, 'Palagi mong dina-divert or hindi mo sinasagot nang diretso.' I thought, you know, I can find a way out because I have always wanted to separate my professional life and my personal life. But I guess I come to a point na mas gusto kong magpakatotoo, regardless of what people might say, regardless of people's judgment or opinion. I guess, the person deserves it. I guess because I don't just owe it to myself. But most importantly, I owe it to the public. I know nahihirapan si KC kasi siya lagi ang nagsasalita. At bilang lalaki, it’s also a responsibility for me para she’s not left in the dark at hindi siya nahihirapan sumagot. I guess we both deserve it. I think kailangan naming gawin ito para matahimik na rin ‘yung iba. I’m thankful that she’s sticking it out with me. Ibang klase, ibang klaseng babae si KC. I just want them to know that she’s taken! I call her my princess. Sorry if it took me this long. It’s a thorn off my chest, it’s very liberating.”
After Piolo’s confession, he and KC hugged each other for a long time backstage. Piolo’s admission was a very emotional moment for KC and she kept on crying. “Nasanay kasi kong hindi siya nagsasalita,” she later said. “I really appreciate his words and statements. I didn’t expect it, so thank you, PJ, for being very honest today. He’s a really really good guy.”
