Inaalagaan niya ako ng bongga. Naloka ako kasi parang sabi sa akin ng mga manager ko hindi lahat tinututukan ng Mr. Jonathan, tapos ako nag-record ako with him tapos ipinagkatiwala niya sa akin ‘yung isang pasabog na song niya para i-revive ko at bigyan ng sariling rendition. Tapos ginawan niya ako ng music,” she recalled.  “So ang personal ng connection niya. Sobrang na-appreciate ko ‘yun kasi sino ba naman ako? Hindi naman ako nanggaling from a singing contest or whatever. I’m just a super pretty drag queen!” </p>
