“Sobra akong top of the world. I had a serye na part ako ng main cast. Lovers In Paris 'yun, nagte-tape na kami, hindi pa sila umeere. I just came from taping. I went straight to the race. Maganda 'yung time ko, ang saya-saya. Everything was looking good tapos biglang hatak,” she said.

Maricar also shared that what helped her get over that traumatizing incident was to divert her attention to working harder. “It’s really doing the next thing na kailangan mong gawin. Work really helps. Having responsibility na alam ko na people on the set will be depending on me to show up, in a way parang kailangan ko din buhayin 'yung sarili ko. Kasi at that time, hindi na ako dependent sa parents ko and I didn’t want to be a freeloader sa kanila the whole time,” Maricar opened up.
