"I think ganoon naman dapat talaga, eh. Respeto sa gustong i-keep pa ng friend mo — ayaw pang sabihin sa mga tao. It was for her to celebrate, announce, explain. I think nasasanay lang talaga tayo na bawat chika ay ini-spill na hindi naman dapat."
Brillantes said she is proud of Borres’ new venture, saying, “I’m proud of her. Sobrang proud na proud ako sa kanya. I’m just so happy to see her [succeed]. I’m so happy to see her happy.”

The Gen Z superstar also shared her message for young girls, in time for the Women's Month celebration, telling ABS-CBN News, “I would say na never stop believing in yourself, kahit na we live in an unfair world, kahit minsan feel natin na hindi tayo nabibigyan ng karapatan o tingin natin na hindi fair ‘yung naibibigay sa atin.”
She added, “Huwag kayong matakot na ipaglaban ‘yung mga karapatan bilang babae. At ang babae ay hindi babae lang.”
“Sa young girls, gusto ko lang talagang huwag silang mag-give up. Huwag silang magpadala sa mga sinasabi ng ibang tao,” she ended.
