I arrived in Dumaguete and to be honest, this time, I wasn’t even sure if ano ‘yung nararamdaman ko. Of course I’m scared, but at the same time, I’m excited,” Diva said. “That was very emotional for me and it was very scary. Pero sabi ko nga sa inyo, parang I’ve hated this man for 26 years. Bakit parang bigla ko na lang naisip gawin yun?

If you guys have the chance to do the same, like kung meron kayong kapamilya, kaibigan, or kung may hindi kayo nakasunduan at matagal kayong hindi nag usap, wag niyo hahayaan lumipas ang mahabang panahon para maging ok kayo kasi yung mahabang panahon na yun, e, masasayang,” she said
