"And the thing is, I already knew it a long time ago. Kasi kami naman ni JL, very open ang communication namin. So kung may problema on his part or my part, we're just a phone call away. So, hindi ako na-shock. As a matter of fact, siguro ang reaction ko, siguro just like anyone else—finally, di ba? Especially for me...ma-clear na rin ako. And alam na ng mga tao kung ano yung totoo.

"Now," patuloy niya, "with regards dun sa inamin rin niya na we had a relationship, very special, I'm very happy that he acknowledged that. Kasi pag kaming dalawa lang, he acknowledges it naman. Nakakatuwa yung sa sobrang shock ko, hindi ako...I wasn't expecting him to say that. Kasi ang usapan namin from the very beginning, was not to talk about it. Pinag-usapan talaga namin na isikreto. Kasi ako naman, even with Yilmaz, everybody found out na lang kung anong 'itsura niya after the wedding. I'm very private when it comes to my private life.

"Yes, we did special times together. Nakita ninyo, me lumabas ba? Unless we were spotted, nakunan kami ng picture sa States. Tinanggi namin talaga yun. You know, Tita Ethel Ramos called me and she said to me, basahin ko raw ang YES! magazine [July 2010 issue] kasi may feature daw si JL dun. Ayaw naman niyang sabihin kung ano yung sinabi. Basta matutuwa raw ako at tataba talaga ang puso ko."

Dagdag ni Ruffa, "I'm very thankful to JL na pinakinggan niya yung advice ko. Sabi ko sa kanya, 'Be a man and be a man of character because yun ang dala-dala mo whether sikat ka in the future or malaos ka one day.' Hopefully hindi mangyari. You know I always believe in a man of character. And you know, a man who stands by his decision. And alam ko, it's very difficult for us, the whole of last year.

"I'm just so happy na every time he says something about me, it's always with respect. Kasi yun naman ang agreement namin na when we decided to have our final closure, na walang siraan, don't say bad things about each other. And I'm very, very thankful and grateful that he's doing that part of the deal."

OVERLAP ISSUE. Sunod na tanong ni Cristy: Pinagsabay ba kayo ni Shaina?

"Sinabi niya, hindi, di ba? Ang alam ko kasi, wala silang commitment. Lately lang sila nagkaroon ng commitment. So if you are not dating someone exclusively, na wala naman kayong formal na commitment sa isa't isa... depende sa agreement ninyo yun, e, di ba? I know my agreement with JL. And I don't know what his agreement is with other people," sagot ni Ruffa.

Nag-overlap ba?

"Yes," pag-amin ni Ruffa. "When I found out that they are officially a couple already...inamin naman sa akin ni JL yun. And we tried naman our best to say goodbye finally. Kasi, di ba, normally when you say goodbye, goodbye na talaga? [In] some cases, that's really true. But sometimes for some people when you say goodbye, later hello ulit."

Pero kahit inamin na ni John Lloyd kay Ruffa na sila na ni Shaina ay tuloy pa rin naman daw ang communication nilang dalawa. Nagtatawagan pa rin daw sila. Pero nag-decide na rin si Ruffa na itigil na rin ang pakikipag-usap kay John Lloyd.

"Gusto ko rin naman kasing respetuhin yung karelasyon niya ngayon," paliwanag niya.

JOHN LLOYD'S REACTION. Pagkatapos ng interview ni Ruffa ay hiningan naman ng reaksiyon ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si John Lloyd sa rebelasyon ng dating nakarelasyon. Pero tumanggi siyang magbigay ng pahayag.

"Tama na. Kung ano ang sinabi niya sa Paparazzi, hanggang dun na lang yun. Tapos na," sabi ng 27-year-old actor.
