Their joint statement read (published as is), "Sa loob po ng tatlong taon na nandito ang MayWard, nakita nyo po at narinig nyo mula mismo sa aming dalawa, ang tunay na nararamdaman namin para sa isa't isa..

"Masaya at masarap po sa pakiramdam ang idea ng isang romantic relationship, but as we go along our journey, we realize na hindi basta-basta lang to get into a relationship. Sana po ay maintindihan nyo po kami. Patuloy namin inaalagaan ang isa't isa at ang relasyon namin bilang magkaibigan.

"Sa ilang taon naming pagsasama, sa trabaho man at sa personal, pareho po namin na-realize na sa estado ng buhay namin ngayon, we both are still very young, and there is so much more we still want to achieve in our lives.

"We both agree there is no need to rush into anything. This means not having a romantic relationship between us at this point. Pareho po namin na-realize that being the best of friends will even be more beneficial for us. Mas komportable kami makakapag-trabaho. Wala pong pagbabago. Kami pa din ang magkasama dahil there's no one else we would rather work with, than each other.

"Pinapanalangin po namin ang inyong suporta, respeto at pagmamahal sa amin, pati na sa aming pamilya at mga kaibigan.”
