"One of the realizations that came to me was that kailangan ko talaga na bumalik sa dating ako, ang Priscilla, kasi through the process andami nangyari including a health condition that I had that was endometriosis.

"I decided to eliminate all foods that were not good for my body.

"When I had my problem, the cyst, dairy, and sugar trigger the issue, so I've also decided to take out all dairy (products) because it causes inflammation in a woman's body.

“I’m investing time in myself health-wise, you know, physical health and mental health. I have a wonderful relationship with my daughter, and whatever happens in terms of what my status is right now, all I can say is that technically, I’m still married,” she said.

"I went back to loving myself, which was lost for many years. And I’m not blaming anyone; it’s my fault that I got to a point where I was no longer loving myself. So today, I can say that, oh my gosh, I have so much love because I love myself first. Of course, God and I have so much love to share," Priscilla also said.
