In the series, Onyok left the care of Cardo (Coco) to be with his biological mother.

There were many speculations as to why the character of Onyok was removed from the series. There waa also a rumor regarding the attitude of the child actor’s mother, which was allegedly the reason why the character was cut.

According to Coco, however, Xymon left the show because he wanted to go back to school.

“Gusto kasi mag-aral nung bata. Kami naman po naiintindihan namin. Siyempre po, kami priority namin ‘yung bata, na maalagaan sila. Like kunyari po sina Paquito, kahit nagtatrabaho sila, nakakapag-aral pa rin sila,” Coco said, as quoted by ABS-CBN News.

But the actor said Xymon is free to go back anytime he chooses to do so.

“Kaya nga kung mapapansin niyo naka-open naman siya. Naka-open ‘yung kuwento na ‘yon,” Coco added.
