“Well, ano muna ang konteksto natin ng role model sa isang tao? Siguro ako, at this age, it’s really hard to tell him what to do. He’s 72. I don’t know if nandun tayo sa… if he’s even thinking about that. So ako, parang there’s a point that you just have to accept that’s him, iyan na siya. Iyan ang Presidente natin.”
