"Talagang inaano nila, ‘Huwag kang mag-alala. The boys are okay,’ ganyan. Sila talaga constantly tsini-check kami," she added.
Prior to this, Cornejo's legal team announced they will be filing contempt charges against the wife of host-actor Vhong Navarro, Tanya Bautista-Navarro, and his lawyer Atty. Alma Mallonga.
