At the grand press conference of the teleserye Iisa Pa Lamang two weeks ago, TV Patrol World reported that young actress Angelica Panganiban almost cried when asked about the rumored breakup with boyfriend Derek Ramsey.

In the interview, Angelica said that she’s still in love with her boyfriend. She also said that there is no truth in the third-party issue, which allegedly caused their rumored breakup. “Kung hindi ko naman mahal ‘yong tao, hindi naman namin kailangang isipin ang kapakanan ng isa’t isa, di ba?” said the young actress.

Although she neither denied nor confirmed the rumor, Angelica said that this issue is the biggest trial in their relationship. She further said, “‘Yong status din naman namin, hindi namin alam dahil may inaayos kaming mga problema. ‘Tapos nagkasabay lang ng isyu ng hiwalayan. So, hindi namin alam talaga kung ano ang isasagot namin. Naguguluhan din kaming dalawa.”

To get the side of the other party, PEP was able to have a short chat with Derek during the StarServe: Celebrities for a Cause event held last night, July 20, at TGIF restaurant, Glorietta 3 in Makati City.

The hunky actor said, “Well, there’s no truth to it.” In fact, according to Derek, he would be seeing his girlfriend after the event.

Derek said, “We said naman, e, nagkaroon kami ng tampuhan and tumiyempo siya sa paglalabas ng mga rumors. But there’s no truth to it na wala na kami, ganito-ganito, nothing like that.”

He also told PEP that he knew about the incident when Angelica almost cried at a presscon. “You know, umiyak siya, hindi nga niya sinabi sa akin kasi it wasn’t anything important. I was told about the interview that she turned back and cried.

“Pero that was more of frustration niya na paulit-ulit na yung tanong. It’s natural, you know, pagod, galing taping, ‘tapos presscon. That’s why she cried, that’s what she told me anyway. You know, she broke down and admitted it.”

Lastly, Derek said that he wanted to explain everything so that nobody, especially their fans, would blame anyone for the rumors that came out. “Ayaw ko naman na mag-start ng war sila, kasalanan ni Angel, kasalanan ni ko. Ayaw ko nang ganung ang lumabas kasi parang may ganun na lumalabas.”
