MANILA – Jessy Mendiola chooses to no longer be affected by accusations that she was the alleged reason behind the split of Angel Locsin and her current rumored boyfriend, TV host Luis Manzano.

“Kasi alam kong hindi totoo. Kapag alam mong hindi totoo ang isang bagay, hindi ka maaapektuhan,” she told the entertainment media in an interview last Thursday.

Mendiola said she is already at a point in her life where she refuses to make room for negativity.

“Siyempre meron naman [akong pakialam sa sasabihin ng iba] pero kapag negative na, huwag na lang. Mas masaya ang buhay, mas magaan kapag bibitawan mo yun,” she said.

This was also the reason she recently posted a picture of Manzano hugging her.

“Spur of the moment lang. ‘Di ba kapag may nararamdaman ka, parang sige na nga post ko na nga. Nandoon na 'yung wala ka ng pakialam sa iisipin ng ibang tao,” she said.

Asked about the current state of their relationship, she said: “Okay naman po, masaya naman kami. It’s peaceful.”

“Sa isang bagay na ganito, kapag alam niyo na masaya kayo, alam niyong wala kayong sinasadya na bagay or sinasagasaan na tao, kapag malinis ang kunsensya niyo, just go on with your lives. At the end of the day, kami ang masaya. So kung anong negative na ibato sa amin, nasasalag yun ng saya namin,” she added.

Meanwhile, Mendiola said only time will tell if she and Locsin can be friends in the future.

“I’m not saying na talagang chummy na friends pero panahon lang iyan. Para sa akin talaga, kung saan siya masaya, okay. Kung saan ako masaya, iyon. May mga kanya-kanya kaming buhay. It’s such a waste of energy kung palagi na lang tayong nagagalit sa isa’t isa para sa wala o kaya paulit-ulit na lang tayong lahat. Blooming naman siya ngayon. Ano pang sense kung bakit kailangan pa nating i-push 'yung issue na 'yun?” she said.

Will she be open to working with Locsin in a future project? “Hindi ko alam kung possible 'yun. Hindi ko sure,” she said.

Mendiola, however, said with certainty that she will greet Locsin in case they cross each other’s paths.
