Actually, it's a miserable morning for everybody here. Actually, this has been here for about two years already. So can you imagine living two years na ang baha dito hindi nawawala? Minsan hanggang bewang kung sinuwerte ka. Pero yung mga kasama ko rito hanggang chest area nila, yung katabi ko rito 5-6 na siya, chest area. Ganun ang buhay nila rito for the past two years at hindi nagbabago. Oo nga, ito may new normal na hindi dapat tanggapin kasi hindi naman talaga dapat, 'di ba? So itong dinadaanan natin si Kuya ay nakalubog dito ngayon, ito dati ito yung tuyo yan. Two years of this. Can you imagine living that life? Grabe. Kaya po mga Kapuso tutok lang sa inyong pambansang morning show kung saan lagi ko nakangiti. Una Hirit, what a morning.
