Kahit masakit na ang katawan, ipinagpatuloy ko pa rin ang laban. Masaya ako — manalo man o matalo, importante ay masaya ka sa ginagawa mo,” ani De Juan sa panayam.

Dagdag pa niya,
“Ang inspirasyon ko ay ang aking pamilya, paaralan, mga coach, sarili ko, posibleng premyo, at siyempre — ‘yung taong espesyal para sa akin.”
