Ken Chan admits getting into trouble with fellow Kapuso star Jake Vargas.
When he guested on ‘Sarap Di Ba’ on GMA Network on April 22, Chan was asked about the rumored rift with Vargas over an unnamed girl.
Host Carmina Villaroel asked if Chan and Vargas almost punched each other because of a girl linked to both of them.
“Totoo bang muntik na kayong magsapakan ni Jake Vargas dahil sa isang babae?… Yes or No?”
Chan responded, “Matagal na, matagal na! Nagkayos na kame ni Jake nung nagkaron kame ng teleserye na Ang Dalawang Ikaw. Dun lang kame nagkausap ng maayos. Pero yung incident that was 2014.”
Villaroel further asked if the conflict really ended in a fistfight. “So totoo ngang nagkasuntukan..muntik?”
Chan explained, “Hindi naman na umabot sa suntukan.” But he admitted that their previous altercation was due to a girl.
He further explained, “Sila po kasi nun, tapos nung wala na sila tsaka ako pumasok. Pero hindi ko alam na may nararamdaman pa pala si Jake dun sa girl. So hindi kame nagpansinan for…ang tagal 7 years.”
“Pero kapatid ko yan si Jake eh, mas mahalaga yun kasi anak-anakan kame ni Kuya Germs…So nagusap kame ni Jake, nagsorryhan kame sa isa’t-isa and sabi namin mas mahalaga yung pagiging magkapatid naming dalawa. Pero ayos , ayus na ayus na kame ni Jake” he added.

Chan is currently promoting his first solo movie, ‘Papa Mascot’. The movie revolves around a mascot worker who acts as the father of the child he abducts.
During the film’s premiere on April 17 at SM Megamall Cinema 2, the Kapuso actor shared his admiration for the mascot workers’ hard work and dedication.
“Saludo ako sa mga taong ang trabaho po ay magsuot ng mascot po. Hindi po biro talaga ang ginagawa po nila at biruin niyo po, ako po, isang minuto o dalawang minuto, hapong-hapo na po ako. Eh sila po, kalahating oras kailangan nilang magperform at sumasayaw pa,” saad niya.
Directed by Louie Ignacio and produced by Wide International, the film will show in cinemas on April 26.
