When asked if she would want to return to their province, Pontejas is quick to answer, “Given the chance, I really want to go back. And I will personally tell them (those wanting to go here in Manila) that it is very difficult living here in the city because I have personally experienced it.”
Nang tanungin kung gusto niyang bumalik sa probinsya, agad na tugon ni Pontejas na, “Kung bibigyan ako ng pagkakataon ay gusto ko talagang bumalik doon. At personal kong sasabihin sa aking mga kababayan (sa mga nagnanais na pumunta sa Maynila) na napakahirap ng buhay sa siyudad dahil iyan mismo ang naranasan ko.”
