“So parang ako iwanan ko na lang yung or alis na lang ako sa pod habang masaya pa siya para sa akin. Kaya sa magtagal pa ako tas mag-suffer ako in the long run. So it's more it's more of protecting myself na lang din. And parang masaya naman ako kasi kahit naman umalis ako sa pod nandun pa rin naman 'yung mga episodes ko.
