Binilhan ko pa siya ng organ,” said Ruffa.</p><p>“Sayang ang boses. Maganda talaga siya [kumanta],” she added.</p><p>To which Venice said, “’Di pa ngayon kasi ayaw ko mag-sing ‘pag peer pressure. I&#x27;d do it in my own time kasi parang mas komportable ako kapag ganyan.&quot;</p><p>She, however, said she would be game if ever she’d be invited to perform on the Sunday variety show <em>ASAP Natin ‘To. </em>“Hopefully yes,” she said.</p>
