One week after her taped intrview in Showbiz Central, muling nagpaunlak ng interview ang businesswoman na si Mikaela Bilbao sa naturang showbiz talk show ng GMA-7 kahapon, October 18. This time, live siyang nakausap ng co-host ng programa na si Pia Guanio.

Ang interview ni Mikaela ay kaugnay pa rin ng kontrobersiyang kinasasangkutan niya, na unang lumabas dito sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), kung saan siya ang itinuturong nagpadala diumano ng tatlong text messages sa dating aktres na si Ana Abiera. Damay sa mga text message na ito ang mga pangalan ng mga artistang sina Gretchen Barretto at Pops Fernandez. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)

Unang tanong na ibinato ni Pia kay Mikaela ay bakit daw siya bumalik sa show, to think na last week ay naibigay na niya ang kanyang panig sa taped interview niya kay John Lapus? (CLICK HERE to read related story.)

"Because there are some things that I wanted it clear, I wanted it klaro," sagot ni Mikaela. "Kasi yung lumabas dun, once you go on a taped interview, because of the short time, di ba, may putol-putol na editing? So I want you to get it [from] the horse's mouth, you know..."

What points did she want to clarify?

"Okay, the first point is, I never said any bad text messages to anybody at all. Much more to Gretchen or anything about Gretchen. Because I have so much respect for Gretchen. To tell you honestly, before this happened, because si Gretchen, together with Marjorie, her other sister, except for Claudine (Barretto), is a client of Mikaela. And they are paying clients. So, nakakarespeto na kliyente sila na nagbabayad sila."

So, she's saying na she has so much respect for Gretchen?

"Before this... before this... Masama lang ang loob ko. I'm saying, masamang-masama ang loob ko because tahasang pinaratangan ako. My name was brought out in the issue without any clarification if it was really me, because we're friends."

So Gretchen brought her name into this issue?

"Yes, it was in PEP!"

What else did she want to clarify?

"The reason why I said, I wanted her to bring me to court is because in court, if you lie, that's [perjury]. Kasi, may sinabi si Gretchen na ako yung humingi ng pabor for a project. The truth of the matter is that it was Pops who asked me. In her words, ang sabi niya [Pops], 'Girl, puwede tayong... baka may kilala ka, ganito. Puwedeng lapitan sila Gretchen.' Because allegedly, allegedly...I don't know if this is true, but allegedly, Pops told me allegedly that Gretchen is working to one project. But it didn't work out yata because the payment was a house in Forbes. But these are all allegedly, I'm not sure if they are true..."

Hindi siya ang gumawa ng first move?

"No, never... Because I am not interested in government and I will never be interested in government. Pang-beauty na lang tayo!" natatawang sagot ni Mikaela.

Anything else that she wanted to clarify from her last interview?
