Young actress Alessandra de Rossi showed no hesitation in answering all the questions about her lovelife during the press conference of her new TV commercial with Kotex last January 10 at D' Café in Sgt. Esguerra, Diliman, Quezon City.
PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) asked what her plans are for Valentine's Day, Alex—Alessandra's nickname—said jokingly, "Wala, malamang nandito lang din ako sa D'Café, gagawa ako ng aking sariling party."
Alex is quite proud to say that she doesn't have a lovelife right now. In fact, she says she is happy being single.
When asked if there are guys who are courting her, Alex replied, "Wala. Nababara-bara ko naman, so huwag na lang. Kasi mahe-hurt lang din naman sila. Baka ma-in love sila sa akin. Wala naman akong balak mag-dyowa, so what for?"
ANGEL-OYO BREAK-UP. Alex also reacted to reports blaming her for the Angel Locsin-Oyo Sotto break-up. Oyo was Alex's ex-boyfriend, and now, her good friend.
As Alex puts it, "Sabi nga ni Oyo, ‘Alam mo naman lahat na lang ng babaeng nakikitang kausap ko lately, e,bibigyan talaga ng dahilan.'"
"E di ko naman kasalanan na kung minsan dumadaan siya dito [sa D'Café] at nandito ako, di ba? Pero wala naman, magkaibigan lang kami ni Oyo...at ni Angel," continued Alex.
Alex said that she visits D'Café—owned by Oyo's sister Danica Sotto—almost every day. "Parang baby ko na ‘to."
Alex also dismissed reports that she and Oyo make pre-arrangements to meet at the café.
"No. Alam naman ni Angel na hindi ko gagawin 'yon sa kanya
at hindi rin naman ganun si Oyo," she said.
If she and Oyo work together, does Alex expect to be hounded by the press?
Alex replied, "Nasa ano naman ‘yon, e... Sa ipapakita niya sa mga tao, ‘di ba? Maiintriga lang naman kayo kung mayroon kayong ginagawang dapat pag-isipan ng malisya."
She added, "Hindi naman ako yung tipo ng babae na dapat pag-isipan ng masama pagdating sa mga ganyan, ‘di ba? Ang bait-bait ko, ‘no!"
One showbiz reporter asked her, "Bakit lagi ka na lang nai-involve sa mga love triangle?" Alex answered, "Oo, pero ako yung naagawan, hindi ako yung nang-aagaw, ‘di ba?"
JEREMY MARQUEZ. As the conversation with Alex progressed, the entertainment press began asking questions about her ex-boyfriend Jeremy Marquez.
First question went: "Okay na ba kayo ni Jeremy?" Alessandra answered firmly: "No."
On the succeeding questions, Alex just kept saying: "No."
One question did stop Alex from saying "No": "So, totoo bang nung niregaluhan ka [ni Jeremy], e, winasak-wasak mo?"
Alex replied, "Ito na lang sasabihin ko—never akong humingi ng materyal na bagay."
She continued, "Ang pinakamaganda, pinakamaliit at pinakamalaking hiningi ko sa isang tao ay respeto. Kung hindi mo 'yon maibigay, huwag mo na lang palitan ng materyal na bagay.
"Di ko kailangan nun, ang dami-dami kong pera, ‘no!" Alex added in jest.
To end the issue, Alessandra repeated, "Di ko sinabing winasak ko. Ang sabi ko lang, hindi ko kailangan ng materyal na bagay sa taong respeto lang ang hiningi ko."
Aside from Jeremy and Oyo, the young actress also had past relationships with Biboy Ramirez and Polo Ravales—her co-stars in the defunct teen show Click.
