"She went there as a friend," Paolo said about his co-star in 'A Faraway Land.'
For the longest time, photos of Kapuso actor Paolo Contis with Yen Santos that were apparently taken in Baguio City have been trending online.
Netizens thought that Yen, Paolo's co-star in his latest movie A Faraway Land, was the third party in the separation of Paolo and his longtime girlfriend LJ Reyes.
In a lengthy post on Instagram, Paolo explained that he went to Baguio after LJ went to New York, and Yen went with him "as a friend."
He explained, "When LJ left for the States with the kids, I went to Baguio for 3 days dahil ayaw ko sa Manila at gusto kong makapag isip isip."
"Naging insensitive ako about the possible effects nung issue and I invited Yen for a day para may makausap since malapit lang siya sa North din," Paolo said.
Yen hailed from Cabanatuan City in Nueva Ecija.
Paolo continued, "She went there as a friend. Hindi ko naisip na madadamay siya ng ganito. I'm sorry for this."
The I Left My Heart in Sorsogon actor also cleared Yen's name in his breakup with LJ.
He wrote, "She was never the reason of our break up. I was."
"Kung matagal na kaming hindi okay ni LJ, it was mainly because of me. Masyado niyo siyang (Yen) diniin sa issue na 'to. Pati pag promote namin ng movie nabahiran na ng kung anu ano."
