"Para po sa akin, ang kahulugan ng tagumpay ay ang makapagpasaya ka ng mga tao lalong lalo na ang pinakamahalagang tao sa buhay mo. 'Yung pangarap sa iyo ng ibang tao, nagkakaroon ng katuparan, 'yun ang tunay na kahulugan para sa akin ng tagumpay. Hindi para sa sarili ko dahil katulad nga po ng sinabi ni Blessed Arnold Janssen: to God, the glory; to my neighbors, the benefit; to myself, the burden," she said.

It can be recalled that Epey's speech on Tuesday was praised by Jhong Hilario, making the judge remember his friendship with Vhong Navarro, who is now recuperating after being mauled by a group of men in a Taguig condo. The said episode was memorable because Jhong walked out of the show (read more here).
