Vice Ganda said he chooses not to defend himself over the statements given by PBA player Terrence Romeo, the man rumored to be his ex-boyfriend.
“Gusto kong ipagtanggol yung sarili ko pero ayokong may taong masaktan at mapahiya kapag lalo kong pinagtanggol ang sarili ko,” the comedian said in an interview aired in ABS-CBN's showbiz talk show “The Buzz” on Sunday.
In an interview with sports news site Spin.ph, the GlobalPort Batang Pier player denied he had a relationship with Vice.
Terrence was quoted as saying, “Sana matapos na 'yung isyu na 'yan, dahil paulit-ulit lang naman na hindi katotohanan! Isang multo 'yan ng imahe ko na gusto ko nang mabura totally.”
Terrence's father, William, also defended Terrence in the interview. “Si Terrence talagang tinuturuan ko 'yan ng katuturan. So kung totoo man 'yang istorya na 'yan, sinuway niya ko. Dahil hindi naman lahat ng oras nakasama ko siya,” he said. “Pero si Terrence, kumpleto ng aral sa akin 'yan. Pinaiiwas ko siya sa mga bagay na hindi mabuti.”
In his interview with “The Buzz,” Vice said he never clarified or admitted the rumors linking him to the PBA player.
“I never confirmed anything. I never said we were together. Wala akong tahasang, diretang sinabing Terrence Romeo,” the 'It's Showtime” co-host said. “Wala akong sinabing masama tungkol sa kanya and I will never say anything ill about him.”
He also said, “Gusto kong ipagtanggol yung sarili ko pero ayokong may taong masaktan at mapahiya kapag lalo kong pinagtanggol ang sarili ko. Ayokong manakit ng taong mahalaga sa akin. Ayokong manakit ng kaibigan.”
The 38-year-old actor added Terrence called him to clarify and apologize for the statements that came out on the article. Vice said he felt pity for Terrence after listening to the interview because “parang napaglaruan sila nung nag-iinterview.”
