Ramos because she was cheated, Lopez said. He did not elaborate.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6158468306183405458-8230802040379332807?l=mar-roxas-4-president.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>jeramelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06661356276956674672noreply@blogger.com0
