She told the press, "I'm very happy because I didn't expect na ibibigay nila sa akin ang role that was originally played by Ms. Vivian Velez. Nakakagulat na napili nila ako among the many actresses in the network. I will do my best to really impress them. Para hindi sila magsabi na nagkamali sila sa pagpili sa akin."
