“Love to my supporters. Di ko pa kayo iiwan. Marami pa tayong tataluning mga evil entities. Marami pa tayong pababagsaking mga sinungaling at walang puso,” Labajo noted in a comment.

(Love to my supporters. I am not about to leave you now. There are still a lot of evil entities to defeat. There are many liars and heartless people out there that we still need to bring down.)
