MANILA -- OPM singer Bugoy Drilon has finally fulfilled his long-awaited promise to buy a house for his mother.
In a social media post on Sunday, August 24, Drilon said it took him 17 years before he could finally save enough for a house.
"Bago ako sumali sa Pinoy Dream Academy, nangako ako kay Mama na kapag nanalo ako, ibibigay ko sa kanya ang bahay na deserve niya.. Hindi man agad natupad, inabot ng 17 taon bago ko tuluyang naipon at naibigay ito sa kanila. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam hindi dahil sa bahay, kundi dahil natupad ko ang isa sa mga pangako ko," Drilon said.
"Maraming salamat, Lord, sa lahat ng biyayang dumating sa buhay ko. Forever grateful," added Drilon, who also thanked an engineer for helping him to make his dream come true.
Drilon made his showbiz breakthrough in 2008 when he joined ABS-CBN’s “Pinoy Dream Academy.”
