Hindi to totoong buhay! I pray that people like you find respect for women.” (I hope you don’t post things like these. It’s so disrespectful and you even took a screen capture. What’s your point? This is a film I made in 2012... It’s a movie, not real life! I pray that people like you find respect for women.)

When asked if she regretted the scenes, she honestly replied, "Everything happens for a reason... but I'll be honest with you, kung alam ko lang tito Boy, hindi ko na ginawa" (had I known, tito Boy, I wouldn't have done it).
