MANILA - Sexy starlet Krista Miller has refused to speak up about her arrest over alleged drug dealings, but warned people to stay away from those involved in the country's drug trade.

"Ako, talagang palayo na [ako] eh. Ang advice ko lang: Kung gusto niyo talaga ng pagbabago, kahit mga nakakasama niyo ay iwasan ninyo, iyong alam niyo na involved pa rin sa ganoon. Layuan ninyo silang lahat kung talagang gusto niyong matahimik iyong buhay ninyo," said Miller in an interview with ABS-CBN News' Doland Castro.

Miller, whose real name is Kristalyn Engle, was arrested last month in a police buy-bust operation in Valenzuela City. She has been charged with violating Republic Act No. 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 since she allegedly handed shabu to undercover cops.

"Sana huwag silang mag-stick doon sa mga nakita nila at napanood nila," pleaded Miller. "Basta hindi pa tapos iyong kuwento. Sa ngayon, mahirap kasi magsalita. Lahat naman tayo nagkakamali. Hindi man natin ginawa iyong mismong bagay na iyon, may dahilan kung bakit ka napunta sa ganoong sitwasyon."

A controversial figure, Miller was first linked to illegal drugs when she visited convicted drug lord Ricardo "Chacha" Camata at a hospital in 2014. She was also tagged as the reason behind the separation of celebrity couple Cesar Montano and Sunshine Cruz.

According to Miller, she still has her family's support despite her missteps. "Kahit may mga mali kaming nagawa, sila pa rin iyong nakakaunawa sa amin. Ngayon, nagpapasalamat kami na kahit na-involve kami sa mga ganito, nandiyan pa rin sila at hindi kami pinapabayaan."

Miller is just one of the just one of the high-profile arrests made by authorities since President Rodrigo Duterte declared his intense war against the country's drug trade, which has resulted in more than 3,000 suspected drug-related deaths.

Other celebrities who were caught include ex-matinee idol Mark Anthony Fernandez and former sexy actress Sabrina M.

Miller said she regrets being imprisoned because she has just given birth to a child more than six months ago.

"Hindi naman mawawala iyong pagisisi," Miller admitted. "Lagi naman mayroong pagsisi pero sa huli, after ng pagsisi may realization. [Kung] ayaw mo na ulit mangyari sa iyo iyong ganoong pangyayari, iiwas ka na sa mga ganoon bagay."
