Ikaw talaga si Regine hindi mo na pinansin na nandito pala ako.

I&#x27;m really, really thankful po from the bottom of my precious heart.&quot; &quot;I love you so much and maraming-maraming salamat sa tulong. Hindi niyo po alam gaano niyo kami napapasaya lahat.&quot;Lady Morgana and Turing failed to impress the judges and fought in the lip sync battle to Velasquez&#x27;s &quot;Shine&quot; and the latter went home in ninth place.Fans went wild on social media after Turing&#x27;s elimination but the drag queen comforted them stressing that this is not the last from her.&quot;Mga bading. SALAMAT ah. Wag po kayong mag-alala, Tuloy lang ang Byahe. Bumaba lang ako sa Jeep ng DragRace pero Tuloy pa rin tayo sa Paglalakbay. Mahal ko kayo. My heart and soul is full of love.
