Krista Miller breaks silence, denies any romance with Cesar Montano


He maybe attractive and good looking but he is not my type.
Neophyte actress Krista Miller was referring to actor-director Cesar Montano as she finally broke her silence and denied allegations for several weeks now of a brewing romance with him.
“Hindi po (Not true),” the comely young actress said of the allegations of a romance with the award-winning actor.

”He’s my director. I respect him. He loves his family, hindi po para bigyan niya ako ng motibo. Alam kong pamilyado siyang tao para magbigay din po ako ng motibo sa kanya. Iginagalang ko po iyon,” she said.
 “Hindi siya ’yung klase ng guy na gusto ko (He is not the class of guy that I like),” Krista declared in an interview with Boy Abunda on the ABS-CBN show “The Buzz.” The network reported about the interview on its website.
The reported romance led to reports that Cesar’s marriage with his beautiful wife was on the rocks. Sunshine was reported to have even hired a lawyer allegedly to arrange a legal separation.
Many in showbusiness, however, speculated that the “troubles” were created to promote Cesar’s movie on the Manila mayor’s life.
It turned out that Sunshine herself was returning to showbusiness and the “controversy” was generated to also promote her upcoming movie and television show.
Of course, the allegation that the “controversy” was just for a show and promotion gimmick was vehemently denied by the couple.
Cesar himself made the admission on “troubles” with his wife as he appealed for understanding and some space to the media as he tries to mend the fences, pointing out that she loves Sunshine and his family, adding that he would do anything to defend it.
Krista, only 22 and a Media Production student, also disclosed that Cesar did not even court her and give her special treatment while they were doing the movie “Turning Cradle: Alfredo S. Lim Untold Story.”
Krista said Cesar is the type of director who cares for all his fellow actors and crew.
“Kung ano ang trato niya sa isa, trato niya sa lahat. ‘Yung pagiging maasikaso niya, maalaga niya, binibigyan niya ng pagkain, everybody in ‘Turning Cradle’ knows that,” she said.
Actress Sunshine Cruz exposed what she had said as evidences that Cesar, her husband, had a brewing romance with the young actress while doing a movie together.
Sunshine even said that her husband did not go home for a few days and stayed in a hotel.
Among the evidences presented by Sunshine were gifts which Cesar had given her but turned out to be with Krista as shown in photos she allegedly posted on the social network Instagram.
These gifts were a t-shirt, chocolate  and an iPhone 5.
Krista told Boy Abunda in his show that she is totally clueless as to how and why this issue started.
According to ABS-CBN’s report on the interview, Krista first made headlines when Sunshine turned to social networking site Instagram to confront the actress. Krista even posted on the site showed items allegedly given to her by Cesar himself.
“Sobrang nagulat nung lumabas ang issue na ito. Hindi ako ‘yung unang nakaalam. ‘Yung mga friends ko, family ko, tinawagan nila ako about dun sa Instagram war na sinasabi nila. Totally blanko po ako talaga. Wala akong kaalam-alam sa binabato sa akin sa Instagram,” Krista nervously told host Boy Abunda in the interview.
Krista pointed out that the supposed gifts from Cesar which were posted in her Instagram account were not from the actor but from her suitors.
“I have more than five suitors na puwedeng magbigay sa akin ng ganong regalo. Pero may pera ako, kaya kong bumili. Hindi ko hahayaan na pababain ang sarili ko nang dahil lang sa iPhone5,” she said.
Krista told the television host that she does not even have Cesar’s contact number, and denied that she sent the actor-director some provocative messages and pictures of herself.
“Hindi ko po ugaling mag-send ng pictures lalo na kung walang dahilan. Kung mayroon pong nakita sila na sinasabing picture ko, wala po akong kinalaman doon. Hindi po ako nagpapadala ng kahit anong pictures at any provocative messages po kay direk Cesar,” she said.
She said she did not know that Cesar checked in the Manila Hotel for a few days while filming the movie where she stars.
But she said they actually filmed some scenes at the hotel.
Cesar later admitted he stayed in Manila Hotel for three days. He said it was practical for him to stay there because he was shooting some scenes of the movie there and in nearby areas.
For her part, Krista denied she stayed in the hotel with her co-actor and director, but admitted doing some scenes there for the movie.
“Hindi ko po nga alam na doon [sa Manila Hotel] pala natutulog si direk. Nagshu-shoot po kami doon kasi malapit lang po yung mga location namin doon at nagkaroon ng eksena na doon mismo sa hotel. Hindi ko alam na doon mismo natutulog si direk. Nung nabalita na doon nga natutulog, napanood ko iyon eh, na kasama raw ako sa hotel. Natawa na lang po ako,” she said.
Krista admitted she was hurt in the controversy, but added she was  hopeful that she will overcome all.
“Inintindi kong maigi, inunawa ko: Ako, kay Sunshine, kay Cesar, sa mga tao, dapat ba kong magalit? Tinanong ko ‘yung sarili ko, hindi eh, kasi bakit ako magagalit kung wala namang katotohanan lahat?” she said.
Krista said she was not forcing anyone to believe her story. 
“Hindi ko po kayo pinipilit na paniwalaan ako, o ’yung mga taong nanonood ngayon,” she said.
She added: “Basta ako sinasabi ko lang kung ano ’yung side ko at kung ano po ’yung totoo (I am simply stating my side and the truth).”
Truth or gimmick? It’s the fans of Krista, Sunshine and Cesar who will finally decide that.
