"Nung nagsisimula pa lang yung Parokya, palagi nila kaming kinukuha bilang front act. Sobrang bilib na bilib talaga kami sa kanila kung gaano sila kagaling tumugtog.”

In the same post, Chito revealed just how close their brotherhood was even when they were not performing on stage. “Eventually, naging close din kami sa kanila. Dati pumupunta pa si Nates sa bahay namin para lang tumambay. Minsan nagbi-beach kami ni Mark. Minsan pumupunta ako kina Rico para mag-jam, and dati naging magkabanda pa si Rico at si Darius (Freezer) Umaabot din minsan sa point na nagkaka-tampuhan kami, pero we would always end up being friends. Wala lang. Nakakatuwa lang,” he wrote.

Last month, Chito also reminisced about the early days of their band, sharing a throwback photo of one of their '90s gigs in a post. He wrote, “Eto yung mga panahon na parang hanggang isang ubo nalang ako ✌🏼😅 ...mabuti nalang nakakahawa yung energy ng mga nanonood kaya nakakapag-magdamagan kami 🤟🏽😁 Shout out pala sa mga bars na nagtiwala at hinayaan manggulo yung banda namin nung nagsisimula pa lang kami. 😁👍🏻”

As Parokya’s most active member on social media, Chito couldn’t help but give a shout out to their longtime fans after performing one of their classic songs in a gig last month. He wrote, “Tugtug lang ng tugtog.🤟🏽😁 Eto yung pinaka-una naming official single mula sa 1st album namin na Khangkhungkherrnitz. Sobrang salamat at tinatangkilik nyo pa rin yung kanta hanggang ngayon, kasama ng banda namin. Wala lang...tenkyu lang po.”
