Clarete continued: "Tumawag sa kanya 'yung company. Kasi he was running na Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei. He was running three countries as the CEO of Coca-Cola. Tinawagan siya ng Coke.

Eh love niya ang Pilipinas kasi dito na rin siya galing before. Ako, hindi ko makakailang miss na miss ko ang Pinas. So sabi ko, 'Tara.'
