Dear Heavenly father, I pray for the soul of my co-star, brother, friend… Aj Perez. I hope that you are with our creator now. I know that you are in peaceful and lovely place right now but the pain that you left your family, your friends, and all your loved ones will hopefully fade and rather be remembered with all the good works you left. We love you brother and we will miss you! Thank you God for bringing us Aj to bring out the best in us. Amen
To all my chonggos… i know that this is a difficult time for all the us lalo na tayo ay mga kapamilya. I ask a big favor to all of you to say a little prayer for the soul of my friend and co-gigger boy AJ Perez. Please be there in the funeral of Aj to represent me and be proxy to his funeral because I wont be able to be there anymore. kayo ng bahala sa kanya and sa kanyang naiwan na mahal sa buhay. at mag ingat din kayo dyan please.
