Ilang beses na iyang umuwi sa bahay na umiiyak, ang sabi binabara ako ni Kris. Sabi ko nga, bakit ka hindi lumalaban sa Kris Aquino na iyan.  Kasi baka manalo kapatid niya, ang yabang yabang na niya... Eh what more kung manalo si Noynoy, eh di buong showbiz aapihin niya? Hindi naman tama Pia iyong ganyan.]]></description>
