Siguro apologies are in order kasi madalian naman siyang pinalabas din ng BID (Bureau of Immigration). Siguro nagkakamali rin naman ang BID.- Roque

Mayroon naman pong batas na ang mga dayuhan ay hindi dapat nanghihimasok sa politika natin… Ang problema lang ay mukhang nagkamali dito kay Sister Fox.- Roque
