Fitness expert Marie Roxanne "Plinky" Recto yesterday said she misses her baby very much and will continue her fight to get him back from her former Negrense lover no matter what accusations he hurls against her.

"The father of my child forgets that I am Batangueña and I know how to fight, and above that I am a Recto and we don't back down, tuloy ang laban (the fight will continue) until I can get my son," she said at a press conference at the Business Inn in Bacolod City yesterday morning.

"I got our child from under her nose and guards in five minutes, what fight is she talking about?" her former lover asked.
