Kung doon sa 28 luxury cars na inamin ni Sarah na pag-aari nila ay halos hindi ako makapaniwala, wala pa pala ‘yun sa kalahati ang kabuuang bilang ng kanilang mga sasakyan (This is outrageous wealth. If the 28 luxury cars that Sarah admitted to owning are something I can hardly believe, that's less than half of the total number of vehicles they own. This is outrageous)!” Estrada said.
