MANILA -- Actress Jean Garcia denied rumors romantically linking her to actor Jomari Yllana.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News at the grand blog conference of "Mano Po 7: Chinoy" on Tuesday, Garcia stressed that she and actor are just good friends.

Rumors linking the two circulated after they were spotted holding hands at a concert.

"We are just very,very good friends. Para kaming magka-best friends, very close talaga. Para na ding magkapatid, magkaibigan. So huwag na lang sanang bigyan ng malice if ever. Hindi natin alam kung ano ang ano pero ngayon talaga we are good friends," said Garcia, who even admitted that she and Yllana are going out.

"Sa ngayon hanggang doon lang. Pero we went out at saka minsan nagdi-dinner din kami," she said.

Asked if she's not closing her doors to possibility that they could end up together, Garcia said: "Mahirap kasing magsalita ng tapos. Pero for now talaga we are good friends. I trust him. 'Yung relationship namin ni Jom nasa point na maraming personal na bagay na alam ko sa kanya at marami din siyang personal na bagay na alam sa akin. We are very open with each other. We are very honest, maybe because 'yung tiwala nandoon."

Garcia, however, stressed that they are not exclusively dating and that she's not committed to anyone.

"I'm open naman, nagdi-date ako ng non-showbiz. I'm not committed to anyone, walang exclusive dates. Basta I'm just enjoying myself and keep myself busy to works," she said.
