“I feel like mga mga crushes, mga M.U. does that fall in love ba? Mga crushes, mga M.U, having to move on from them, I’ve experienced being rejected din.
“I feel like everyone experiences being rejected naman, so yeah, that’s reality, that’s life. I have to take things day by day and move on from that.”
