MANILA, Philippines — Kim Rodriguez quashed the rumors linking her to basketball star Marc Pingris through her manager, vlogger Ogie Diaz.
Showbiz and pundits alike were momentarily busy talking about the issue that broke out during the Holy Week, when most of the predominantly Catholic Philippines are called upon to reflect on their sins and shortcomings.
Ogie relayed Kim’s answers through his popular YouTube show “Showbiz Updates” on March 30. Kim is Ogie’s ward.
“Tito, hindi po ‘yan totoo,” Kim said as quoted by Ogie.
Ogie asked Kim to clarify on the two viral photos. In separate photos of Kim and Marc, both personalities were seen with the staff of a popular French fries store and with Sydney Opera House as the background.
Kim said that she was on her way to Subic with her friends when they stopped by a gasoline station where the snack store was located.
“Hindi po kami magkasama niyan. Kahit itanong niyo po sa girl na ‘yan kung magkasama kami ni Marc Pingris or kung pareho niya kaming nakita on that same time, I’m sure alam niya ang totoo,” said the actress.
She also refuted the Australia photo with the popular Sydney landmark.
“Ang sabi naman sa akin ni Kim, meron siyang dalawang kaibigan na kasama nu’ng nagbakasyon sila sa Australia. Sabi sa akin ni Kim, ‘Anong pakialam ko kung may picture doon si Marc Pingris sa Opera House? Eh, ako din may picture. Lahat naman ng nagpupunta ng Sydney dapat may picture ka daw sa Opera House kaya may picture ako,” she said.
Marc Pingris and his wife Danica Sotto had also spoke about and denied the issue. — Kathleen A. Llemit
