She told Gorgy, “Ito po January po nangyari , January 29 pero salamat po dahil may mga kaibigan tulad ng mga kasamahan ko hindi lang sa Pepito, kundi 'yung mga friends po namin na talagang nakiramay, nagpakita ng pakikiramay,

“Kinailangan umuwi at naalangan naman po kami umuwi, kasi 'yung naman reason talaga e, dapat naman talagang umuwi.”
She continued, “Medyo may lungkot lang din po kasi bukod sa pagkawala hindi naman siya talaga, sorry, nahawakan [o] nayakap...”
