Unable to contain his excitement, he rushed to tell his aunt, who also responded in complete disbelief.
"Hindi rin po siya naniwala hangga’t hindi niya nakikita yung announcement. Nung napanood namin ulit, sobrang saya naming lahat sa bahay (She refused to believe I won until she saw the announcement herself. We were all ecstatic when we got the confirmation)," shares the winner, who also says it was his first time to ever join a raffle promo, making his win even sweeter.
"Hindi rin talaga ako nag-expect manalo talaga (I did not expect to win)!"
Asked about what he plans to do with his prize, he reveals he might put up a business selling motor parts and accessories then set aside the rest for his savings account.
“Nagpapasalamat ako kay Lord sa opportunity na ito. Also sa Smart, dahil malaking tulong ang naibigay nila sa akin (I thank the Lord for this opportunity. I also thank Smart because this is such a big help,” he said.
