Are they on or are they not?
Fans want to know the real score about television host and actor Luis Manzano and rumored girlfriend Jennylyn Mercado.
The craving for more information about the brewing romance of the two intensified when Jennylyn reportedly visited Luis at the set of the “Pilipinas Got Talent” of ABS-CBN which he co-hosts.
It was reported that Luis and Jennylyn were caught in a strong public display of affection (PDA) in that visit.
Luis denied the report, pointing out it was not a powerful display of affection at all for both of them.
According to Luis, it is true that the actress paid him a visit but there is no display of affection coming from both of them.
He said: “One thing kasi hindi po kami nagpi-PDA. Siguro if I help a lady up, yung rampa sa likod, of course I have to hold the lady, baka iniisip nila PDA na agad yung ganun, aalalayan mo yung likod o aalalayan mo siya paakyat ng kotse (We are not doing any PDA. If I helped a lady, and hold her at the back, and people might think it’s already PDA, it’s just a way of helping her get in the car).”
On reports that the two of them were seen kissing outside the venue, Luis said what they both shared was just a peck on the cheek.
“Well, if you consider beso kissing. Hindi ko siya ilalalagay sa ganong predicament (I won’t put her in that predicament).”
He explained the incident: “Meron lang inihatid sa akin si Jen at nagkataon lang na since nandun naman siya, kilala naman niya sina Billy (Crawford), pinilit ko na siyang bumaba just to say hi man lang (Jen brought me something and it so happen that she’s there, and she knows Billy, I asked her to come down and greet everyone).”Jennylyn stayed in the area not longer than 10 minutes, according to Luis.
“Ni wala nga siyang nakita kahit isa sa staff. Pumasok siya within the area pero sa mismong studio hindi talaga (She haven’t seen any staff of the show. She went in the area but not in the studio),” he said.
Luis stressed that he is only still dating Jennylyn .
“I will be very honest, hindi kami. We are still dating. I don’t see the point of covering up and I’m not going to expound on things,” he pointed out
