Si Melanie Marquez pa rin habang iniinterview ni boy abunda:
Boy: Melanie, anung masasabi mo sa mga lumalabas na tsismis na hindi ka lang daw drug addict, drug pusher ka pa?

These are two forwarded emails, again worth spreading around especially to first time visitors going to the United States and it’s best to apply it to anywhere you go abroad. This information is a fair warning and to save us Filipinos visiting the US from trouble and embarrassment.
A Filipino friend shared this email. His friend who works for Homeland security as Immigration Inspector at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport ) called him to share the information that just happened.
