Billy Crawford: ‘It’s about me coming back to the Philippines’

International artist Billy Crawford has asked people not to make a big issue out of his becoming a part of the Kapamilya network. His upcoming gig as PinoyDreamAcademy Season 2 host was coursed by his management abroad through Endemol, which in turn made the negotiations with ABS-CBN. “Trying to make this decision was a little hard at one point, but I’m excited to come back to the Philippines.”

The singer also cleared that this has nothing to do with the network wars. “It’s not about the two different channels. It’s about me coming back to the Philippines. Lahat ng ginagawa ko, pinagmamalaki ko ang Pilipinas. There’s so much going on with contracts here and there… You know what? God will guide me as to where I need to go.” Billy also clarified that German Moreno, who has been a family friend since he was three years old, never managed his career.

Aside from hosting PDA, Billy was pretty psyched about getting to work with old friends like Gary Valenciano and Vina Morales on ASAP 08. He also has a concert lined up at the Araneta with Sarah Geronimo.He’s very open to working with anyone, like KC Concepcion, if given the chance. “I’ve known KC for a long time… You know, I think Tita Sharon (Cuneta) has to approve everything first before I say anything so…” Billy shared with a very big grin on his face. “I’m excited!”
