It’s good. <i>Hindi kami puwede mag-deny kasi nga</i> there are pictures online.<i> Ang </i>weird <i>naman nun kung ide-deny ko yun na may</i> pictures online.<i> Kasi</i> anything else,<i> gagamitin nila</i> against you. <i>Sabi nga, isa sa mga pinakabugbog na </i>statement<i> sa bawat </i>hearing <i>ay</i> 'I invoke my right to self-incrimination,’” he shared.</div><div><br/></div><div>Without giving out any specific details, the TV host would only admit they go out. </div><div><br/></div><div><i>'Lumalabas kami.
