“I want Mang Ben to be remembered as the scariest, kindest person you can meet in a minute,” Carmona also said.
“He was larger than life. He had this image of a strict mentor but inside he had a pure love for people. I would like to be remembered for his heritage and contribution to Filipino fashion. “
