Do you consider yourself a fighter?
Of course. Even in elementary school, I was a scrapper. My mom would get called to school so many times. Up to now, I don’t think I’ve lost my edge.

Wow. We’d never have guessed it of you.
But that’s the way I am, even now—if I call you my friend, hanggang huli, kasama mo ako. I’m small but terrible, especially for those who cross my family or my friends!

Is it that way also with relationships?
Yes. My personality is really strong. Pero kung di ako mahawakan ng boyfriend ko, under na siya sa akin. Pangit yun, di ba?

Ever had to defend boyfriends in a fight?
Once somebody tried to muscle in on my territory. Sinugod ko yung girl, muntik na siyang manghiram ng mukha! In a fight, I don’t waste time with words—I go straight for the eyes.
