“I’m just here in the Philippines–staying with my family because my mom will stay here.

“So, okay, I never went to Australia, so that wasn’t me. Period.”

SEEN TOGETHER. May lumalabas ding balita na may out-of-town event na nakita sila ni Derek na magkasama. 

“Hindi ko nga maalala yung sinasabi nilang event na ‘yan,” tanggi ni Sam.

“All I know, we did this commercial once.  And then, after that, we never talked; we never saw each other again. 

“I don’t know his number and he doesn’t know my number, so yun.”

Sa Twitter, nagpa-follow ba ang isa’t isa?

“Hindi ko nga alam ang Twitter niya,” natatawang sabi ni Sam.

WRONG ASSUMPTIONS. Noong nabalitaan niyang nadadawit ang pangalan niya as third party, ano ang naging reaksiyon niya?

“I know! It’s kinda annoying kasi, hindi naman ako yun. People started assuming it was me kasi nga… sexy actress…PS…

 “Hello!… I’m just here in the Philippines. I can show you my passport.”

Hindi naman daw niya ikinainis nang malaman niya ang isyu.

“Hindi naman nainis. It’s more on, ‘Bakit ba, hindi naman ako yun.’ And then, I get a lot of bashers.

“Hello! Parang sinasabi nila, ‘Ikaw pala ang dahilan, ha?’

“Ano ba? May proof ba sila na nandoon ako? Wala naman, di ba?”

Aware rin si Sam na nililinaw ni Derek sa Twitter account nito ang isyu at nililinis rin nito ang pangalan ni Sam.

“Yung mga tao na ang nagsasabi sa akin… which is good.”

WHAT IF? May nagtanong naman kay Sam kung paano raw kung ligawan nga siya ni Derek?

“May ganoon ba? I don’t think na may ganoong mangyayari ever. I think, Derek is very, very good-looking. 

“Who wouldn’t want him, right? Hindi ko muna iniisip yun. I just wanna clear this whole issue.”

“Siguro next, next year pa mangyayari yun,” natatawa niyang sabi. 

“Kakatapos lang niyang mag-breakup. Ayoko naman. Chill na muna siya.

“Hindi naman nagmamadali–wala namang nagmamadali.”

Nang kamustahin namin ang love life niya, mas natawa ito at sabay sabi, “Ganoon pa rin!”

Paliwanag niya, “Like right now, as always, career muna. Nandito na ito sa harap ko, ito muna ang iko-concentrate ko.
