All details of the drama anthology are all fabricated and negated all claims and re-enactments of Jake Zyrus. Her mother still addresses Jake as Charice, but the matriarch reiterated that she already accepted his son's sexual orientation. Racquel claims that she shed tears while watching the program on that Saturday night and became very disappointed with the storyline. Jake's mother has no choice but to accept the situation as well as the plot that has been presented by the program and will pray for the situation to settle in the future.
