Talent manager and TV host Lolit Solis was treated to one of the most surprising visual spectacles of her life when she was invited by businessman Erning Lim to visit an exhibit at the Sofitel (formerly called the Westin Philippine Plaza). No, it wasn't the exhibit that caught her attention, but it was what she found out that utterly surprised her.
According to Manay Lolit's article in the Philippine Star Ngayon, it all began when she got lost inside Sofitel, trying to find the location of the exhibit. Owing to misdirection and probably the unavailability of a venue map, she found herself entering Sofitel's poolside coffee shop at around four in the afternoon. Realizing that she was in the wrong place, she started looking for another entrance or exit, walking and looking left and right.
Two men caught Manay Lolit's attention as she sauntered over. She noticed that the two men looked sweet to each other, exchanging whispers, their cheeks nearly touching. As Manay Lolit approached, waiters who saw her called out her name, apparently wanting to get an autograph. The two men, upon hearing Manay Lolit's name, hastily left as Manay Lolit nearly tripped trying to get a closer look.
Her curiosity rewarded her as she found who the two men were: It was Sam Milby and Piolo Pascual. Someone told Manay Lolit that Sam and Piolo frequented the Sofitel poolside coffee shop since the place usually doesn't have many visitors.
According to Manay Lolit, she wouldn't have noticed the two if it weren't for their obviously hasty retreat. She wouldn't even put malice into what she saw if Sam and Piolo didn't mind being found out or if they had just said "hello," even if they didn't know her well. All that she could do on her way home was ponder on what she had witnessed.
As for Sam and Piolo, people can only speculate about their true sexuality as both heartthrobs have been rumored to be gays. Some write-ups say that the two are in a relationship; some say that Sam isn't gay because he's attracted to Angel Locsin and Anne Curtis Smith; the same with Piolo, who has been linked to Judy Ann Santos and Rica Peralejo. But Piolo has a son out of wedlock.
