Mapagregalo ako,” she shared.</p><p>The <em>A Family Affai</em><em>r</em> actress recalled that she gave several items to the non-showbiz personality such as food, money for gas, and money for allowance. She didn’t specify how much she gave in total but asserted that she doesn’t give money all the time.</p><p>“Yung dati naman–– yung ex na parang landian and all–– more on pagkain, gas, pera pang allowance. Di mo kaya, allowance. Di naman siya ganun kagwapo.

Hindi naman ako matanda parang bakit mo ako pineperahan. Pero dapat hindi mo rin peperahan ang mga matatanda at whatever. Dapat in general, wag ka ng mamera. Nasa relasyon ka eh para sa pag ibig hindi para sa pera,” she ended. </p>
