She shared:
“Jusqqqqq si manong waiter! MAM MAM DI PA PO KAYO NAGBABAYAD! MAM DI PA KAYO BAYAD! MAM ‘YUNG BAYAD N’YO PO??? Kuya, sana inulit mo 3x pa, medyo nakulangan pa po ako!!!”

“Big scene si kuya! Bakit kailangang ulit-ulitin kuyaaaaaaa! Hindi ako nagbayad yes, pero hindi po ako bingi!!!”
She also tried asking if she could simply pay outside after being stopped, but the café staff politely insisted that payment had to be made inside.
“Sabi ko, kuya ok lang ba, dito ko na lang bayaran sa labas ng cash? Maaaa hindi raw pwede, dapat daw sa loob magbayad!!! Hoooooo!”
The director then returned inside the café, humorously comparing herself to a dramatic character making an unexpected comeback.
