"Yes, nililigawan ko. She is not my girlfriend yet, and I would love for her to be," revealed Billy. "Coleen and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend. We are not a couple yet. That’s pretty much it."

The interview came after a photo of him and Coleen went viral online. The said photo, taken on December 27 showed the two watching together an NBA match between the Brooklyn Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks at the Barclays Center in New York City.

Billy, who is spending Christmas vacation in New York to see his family and old friends, said that he invited Coleen to watch the game with him. "You know what, I would love to go there in New York and actually spend time with you, to watch the game and have dinner," Billy's words went upon inviting Coleen.

Coleen was also bound for New York with a friend according to Billy and he said that they met up there together with Ryan Bang. 

Billy also clarified that Coleen was never a third party that led to the break up of his relationship with ex-flame Nikki Gil [ READ: Billy Crawford Reveals Reason for Break up with Nikki Gil ]. He also stood up on behalf of Coleen, who according to him has been wanting to pull away from him because of all the intrigues and speculations. 

"Ako bilang lalaki, I’ll pursue her. Paninindigan ko. I want to get to know her slowly."

Billy then thanked Coleen for being his inspiration. 

"You mean a lot to me. You motivate me into going to work every day and I just enjoy who I am now and I want to pursue of trying to get to know you better. I just want to say I’ll be here for you as a friend or maybe even more. Thank you, that’s all I want to say, he said.

'Little Champ' Premieres March 18 on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida

Little Champ, ABS-CBN’s newest fantaserye which will launch this Monday (March 18), marks the first teleserye appearance of new Kapamilya child wonder JB Agustin and the return of veteran actor Lito Lapid.

Viewers will not only pick-up moral lessons in the story as they will be primarily entertained by the ‘superhero’ horse voiced by Maliksi Morales as Chalk, Caloy’s (JB Agustin) friend and confidant. Some of the voice actors in the soap are Eddie Garcia, Rico J. Puno, Joonie Gamboa, John Regala, and Jeffrey Tam.

Under the direction of Richard Arellano and Mervyn Brondial, the story revolves around the simple lives of Caloy, his parents Lucas (Jhong Hilario) and Helen (Precious Lara Quigaman), and their sickly horse, Chalk.

Their quiet family life will change however when Caloy’s playmate, the son of the rich haciendero Miguel (Jake Roxas), falls off a horse and dies. Miguel, who will put the blame on Caloy, will hunt the child down. Caloy will flee with his loyal horse Chalk and will find refuge under Leon del Torro (Lapid), a baranggay captain.

The forces of good and evil will clash when a meteorite falls, breaks into two, and lands separately on Chalk and Miguel. Powered by the meteorite, Chalk will change from a sickly horse to a powerful stallion that can talk while Miguel will experience evil powers, fueled by his lust for revenge. 

How will Chalk’s super powers help in protecting his best friend Caloy and what will be Leon’s role in all these?

Also included in the cast are Mickey Ferriols, Coleen Garcia, Renz Fernandez, Alex Calleja, Paolo Serrano, Katya Santos, Ruben Gonzaga, and Sofia Millares, with the special participation of Jolo Revilla. “Little Champ” will run beginning on March 18 before “TV Patrol” on ABS-CBN.
