Can Jennylyn, Luis at least be friends?
Yahoo Celebrity Awards Female Kontrabida of the Year Jennylyn Mercado has moved on, especially where romance is concerned.
She and ex-boyfriend Mark Herras are friends. They even arrived together at the Mall of Asia Arena, venue of the awards night last Friday, July 18.
"Gusto lang namin ipakita sa lahat ng supporters at syempre yung mga fans namin ni Mark, yung relationship namin, yung friendship namin talagang solid pa rin. So gusto namin maging role models sa lahat ng love teams, sa magkakaibigan o sa mag-ex na solid pa rin talaga kahit anong pinagdaanan namin. Kahit anong mangyari, kami pa rin ang magkasama," Jennylyn told reporters.
On Patrick Garcia
Although she and Mark revived their love team in "Rhodora X," Jennylyn denied that they are back in each other's arms.
"Si Mark ang isa sa mga pinaka-comfortable ako magkatrabaho. Para ko nang kapatid iyan, parang pamilya
na kami."
Jennylyn added that she and Patrick Garcia, her son Alex Jazz’s father, are also okay.
Different case
But Luis Manzano, another ex-boyfriend, is an exception. Luis reconciled with Angel Locsin, his current girlfriend, after he and Jennylyn broke up last October.
Can she and Luis at least be friends?
"Sabi ko di ba, time lang ang makakapagsabi, so iyon," Jennylyn told reporters.
Jennylyn explains that ex-couples need time to re-establish friendship.
"Ang pinakasecret lang is time. Panahon lang ang makakapagsabi kung kailan kayo magiging okay ulit. I know masakit kapag breakup. Mahirap makipaghiwalay sa taong talagang nakasama mo nang matagal at mahal mo. Pero time lang ang makakapagsabi kung kelan kayo magiging ready na para sa isa't isa na maging friends ulit.
Unexpected
Jennylyn feels grateful viewers appreciated her bida-kontrabida role in “Rhodora X,” for which she won her Yahoo award.
"Hindi ko ineexpect. First bida kontrabida role ko yung "Rhodora X" and so hindi ko ineexpect na doon talaga mananalo."
Jennylyn is willing to do offbeat and kontrabida roles again.
"Parang mas madali kasi para sa akin, walang effort kapag ginagawa."
