Billy back in 'It’s Showtime'

Billy Crawford sings his hit single "Bright Lights" at the opening number of OMG! Awards 2013.

After taking a two-week break with his US-based family, Billy Crawford returned to the welcoming arms of his “It’s Showtime” co-hosts on Thursday, August 15.
 
“Wala akong ginawa kundi makasama ang nanay at tatay ko. It’s always good to go back to your roots, to where it all started,” Billy said on the show.
 
He described his short vacation in the US as a big “eye-opener.”

“Ngayon ko lang talaga nalaman na blessed ako. I love you mom, I love you dad. I owe everything to you, guys. Kung pwede ko lang ibalik lahat. Lahat ng gagawin ko ngayon at lahat ng ginagawa ko, from now until the end, para sa mommy and daddy ko. I love you guys. I miss you already.”

Before he left for the  US, Billy granted an interview on “The Buzz” to clarify speculations about his split with longtime girlfriend Nikki Gil. Billy admitted feeling  “lost and confused,” and that he needed to find himself.  He added that he cut short his relationship with Nikki to protect her.
 
“I love her and I still do. I don’t want to continue to hurt her because I became distant. And I don’t want to continue to hurt her because if I continued with this relationship, in the long run, hindi na kami magkakatugma. We don’t see eye to eye on things,” he said on “The Buzz.”
