Nag-alala na ko non dahil sila lang mga friends nya ang magkakasama. Tapos, eto, kasama niya pa ang daddy niya, kaya Ogie, you'll never know talaga pag aksidente".
*I stand corrected in the tribute video I made, this is the statement shared by Ogie Diaz after talking with AJ's parents: "Sa bus po bumangga ang van sakay si AJ Perez kung saan yung left brain nya ang matinding napuruhan.".
Currently, AJ is one of the lead actors in Hit TV Show "Sabel", known as Dido and a regular performer in ASAP, also a member of a teen male group "Gigger Boys".
