Kaya cheer up, Jaq. God doesn't give us what we can handle, God helps us handle what we are given." I said straight into his eyes then gave him a bright smile after.

Isang journalist ang nagtangkang itanong: “Ms. Buenavista, did you ever feel powerless during the scandal?” Ngumiti ako, confident. “Powerless? Never. Because I knew I wasn’t alone.
