Despite his busy schedule, he also remains committed to two of his most favorite roles—that of devoted family man to his twins and Charlene, and a bearer of early Christmas cheer to hundreds of less fortunate children through Jollibee Maaga ang Pasko, now the country’s longest-running toy and book drive.
