Abdul Raman confessed that he considered Shayne Sava one of his rivals during their StarStruck days.
On February 16, during the Sparkle Love Team virtual media conference, Raman shared his first impressions with Sava.
“Sa una, physically, I can tell cute siya. Mentally, I knew she was smart. Immediately, ang tingin ko rival ko. At the same time, may pagka-rivalry na ang tingin ko sa kanya.”
Raman admitted that the physical and mental factors of Sava were the reasons why he considered her as one of his rivals during the reality talent competition.
“Pero gusto ko siyang maka-close kasi I knew she was someone I could share my knowledge and the things that go through my mind.
“Sinubukan ko nung StarStruck pero I could tell [the moments] na naiintimidate siya, di siya maka-relate sa una. Which is why I am very thankful na nagkasama nga kami sa Legal Wives.”
Despite considering the Sava as a rival, Raman stated he wanted to be close friends.
“I got to know her better. I got to know the things about her. Doon niya nga nalaman na I am a very caring person, especially towards her,” he added.
