Referring to different women friends being linked to him, Garcia said: "Yun nga e. Parang lahat na lang nali-link sakin. Parang bawal ako magkaroon ng kaibigan. Marami akong friends na babae na nasa same industry."

The actor explained that he has nonetheless learned how to distance himself from intrigues, citing his longevity in the entertainment scene.

“Nine years na rin ako sa industry. At first, naaapektuhan ako sa mga ganyan. Palagi akong nagbabasa ng tweets, ng mga comments. Pero ngayon, hindi na. Ngayon, focus sa goals,” he said.
