"Feeling ko, of all people, ikaw yung makakaintindi. Cause you know, I see you as one of the wisest in the industry. Sa dami ng pinagdaanan mo with different personalities, parang you always saw things for what they were. And parang ang paniniwala ko your judgment isn't clouded by the noise of the media, by what the fans say. So parang I felt like I was misunderstood by you," she explained.
All that said, Liza admitted she now understands where he was coming from.

"So yes, I may have made some decisions for myself, I may have agreed to do certain things but I wouldn't say that they were completely my own kasi I had fans to cater to. I had a family to provide for. I had people in the industry that I wanted to impress or make proud. So I didn't grow up learning how to choose things for myself and really deciding what I want. It was always dictated what people think what's right for me," was how she put it.
Liza shared it was only in 2019 that she came to realize she could do more.
It was then that she started asking, suggesting certain things in terms of character development.
