“Dream ko talaga noon na maging teacher kaya super excited ako sa project na ito dahil natupad din ang pangarap kahit dito sa show lang,” she says. “In the story, I play Minerva Henerala at love and passion ko talaga ang maging teacher. At kahit na maraming struggles akong mararanasan along the way, I will never give up ang pagiging high school teacher ko. Pinagtatawanan ako rito ng mga tao dahil naniniwala ako sa existence ng mythical creatures called Tamawo. Until something happens na magbibigay sa akin ng super powers para mas makatulong pa ako sa aking kapwa. Dedicated ito sa lahat ng teachers at sa lahat ng fans kong noon pa nagre-request na magka-show uli ako sa primetime at maging superhero uli ang role ko. I really trained hard for this role dahil marami akong fight scenes at ayokong magpa-double. And I’m really proud of this dahil puede kong ipapanood sa baby naming si Zia as it teaches good moral values at super nanay naman niya talaga ako in real life.”
