On January 14, exes-turned-on-screen-partners Kyosu Guinto and Jaja Disuanco reacted to people calling their appearance on the noontime program ‘It’s Showtime’ scripted.
During the AsterisK Entertainment Kick-Off 2024 event at the Cities Events Place in Quezon City, which LionhearTV covered, Kyosu responded to those who doubted his and Jaja’s story.
“Wala po natatawa na lang po ako kapag sinasabi po nila.”
Jaja further maintained that they use negative feedback to their from-exes-to-friends story as motivation now that they’re venturing into showbiz.
“For me po kasi, sa mga tao pong naniniwala doon sa parang maling news or anything po, parang inaano na lang po namin, ginagawa na lang po namin motivation ‘yun kasi siyempre po, sa sarili namin, sa ibang fans at sa mga nakakaalam sa amin talaga, ‘yung journey namin dati noong kaming dalawa po talaga, alam po nila kung ano ‘yung totoo. At kung ano ‘yung hindi totoo.”
Kyosu further acknowledged that getting criticisms was ‘normal’ for aspiring artists.
“And ganon naman po talaga sa industry, ‘yung criticisms, hindi po talaga mawawala po talaga ‘yan. Kaya ‘yun po ginagawa na lang po namin motivation namin.”
When asked about their current relationship status, Jaja maintained that they remain friends after their breakup and that they’re enjoying the opportunities that come their way.
“We’re just friends po talaga, ‘yun nga po katulad ng sinabi namin before, go with the flow lang. Sa mga pangyayari, kung ano ‘yung sa aming dalawa. Pero, ‘yun nga po napakilala ko na po siya sa parents ko and di na lang po namin alam kung ano ‘yung next step, basta chill lang po kami at hindi po kami nagmamadali sa mga ganito kasi ang dami po talagang opportunities na dumarating, basta ‘yun, kung ano ‘yung ibigay ni Lord sa amin.”
Kyosu and Jaja gained popularity among fans after the exes-turned-on-screen-partners expressed how much they still care for each other.
