"Hindi ko malilimutan! October 4 'yon, October 5 birthday ko," she added, referring to the filming of the "I am indestructible" scene.

"Kasi 'di ba, 'pag may English na mga eksena, mag-abang ka na sa Twitter, kasi lahat perfect," Salvador added, in jest, referring to critics of her diction. "Kahit na may mga gano'n, OK din kasi siyempre, gusto mo matuto rin talaga, at gusto mo bigyan ng tamang pronunciation 'yung mga [lines]."
