Sa akin. Inamin niya ‘yun mula noon. Sa akin siya may atraso. Pinatawad ko ‘yung tao. And for the last eight years, bumabawi siya. We got married.”</p><p>RELATED VIDEO:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/w6UXEKS87d4?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>
