Sana na-miss niyo rin ako. Uy, nagpa-miss! Maraming, maraming salamat po sa aking mga Kapamilya in ABS-CBN, Viva, and of course sa ‘ASAP family ko’,” she said. 

She continued, “Salamat sa lahat ng aking mga co-performers and of course, sa lahat ng Popsters na talaga namang matiyagang naghintay. From the bottom of my heart, maraming, maraming salamat po sa inyong patuloy na pagsuporta.”
