Bumabangon ako, nakabangon ako. Dahil po iyon sa mga taong nagmamahal sa akin sa paligid ko. Hindi po ako perpektong tao. Nagkakamali din po ako. Ang mahalaga sa akin, natuto ako, bumangon ako, lumaban ako. Tuloy ang buhay,” she said.</p><p>Andalio, 20, turned emotional when prompted to give a message to herself during the height of the controversy.</p><p>“Masasabi ko sa kaniya na proud ako sa kaniya, dahil kinaya niya ‘yung sakit, kinaya niya ‘yung panghuhusga.
