Expressing gratitude for the Palawan Pawnshop tournaments, Mercado acknowledged the significant role they played in her development, saying: “Malaking pasasalamat talaga namin sa mga Palawan Pawnshop tournaments, napakalaking tulong para mahatak ako pataas

She added: “Talagang paghihirapan mo para manalo dahil sa sobrang daming sumasaling mga magagaling na players na galing sa iba’t ibang lugar.”
