Kasi once na nawala na tayo sa industriya… tandaan niyo, ang industriyang ito, ‘pag matanda na tayo, may bago nang lumalabas. Pag wala ka nang ratings, hindi ka na bida. Tandaan niyo, it’s a ratings game. ‘Pag mababa na rating mo, iba na tingin sa ‘yo. Mas maraming nagmamahal sa ‘yo sa industriya, pero mas mahalin mo yung sarili mo. Kasi, at the end of the day, kapag may sakit ka na, dapat may pera ka sa bulsa. Para hindi na tayo magmukhang kawawa,” the article quoted Willie.
