This is the answer that made a lot of flak... "You know what, sir, in my 22 years of existence I can say that there's nothing major, major problem that I've done in my life because I'm very confident with my family, with the love that they are giving to me.

Delamar and Chico during their heyday Undoubtedly, Chico and Delamar has lorded over the Manila FM radio scene from the mid 90s up until the early 2000s.
