“Hindi naman ako santo. Nagagalit din ako, may temper din ako, may sumpong din ako. Kaya lang, when you realize or when you come to your senses na, ‘Wait. You are given this task to spread the word of God.’ That’s my way of reminding myself na dapat ayusin ko ang pagsasalita ko, pakikipagkapwa-tao ko. It’s a reminder for me also,” she said.

Talking about the message of the song, Rivera said: “The message of the song is to imitate Christ by giving our yes to Jesus. The Philippines is the country in Asia with the largest Christian community. This is a challenge for us Filipinos to proclaim Christ to other countries.”

“Kasi maraming countries all over the world who have not yet come to know Jesus. That is our mission, that is a challenge for us. This is the time also for us followers of Christ to renew our efforts to make other countries believe and have faith in Jesus. In short, the mission is to tell the world of God’s love.”
