MANILA -- Actor Joem Bascon and vloger Crisha Uy have called it quits after more than eight years of being in a relationship.

Bascon made the revelation to members of entertainment media on Tuesday at an acoustic live session for TBA Studios' "Write About Love" with co-star Yeng Constantino.

"Hanggang doon na lang siya. Kapag pinilit pa, on my side siguro mas magiging magulo. So I guess hanggang doon ko lang talaga kaya," Bascon said.

Despite the failed relationship, Bascon is hoping that he and Uy could still be friends.

"I'm hoping na maging friends kasi maayos naman 'yung pag-uusap. Pero wala naman kasing hiwalayan na hindi masakit. So masakit pa rin for both of us. Siguro lang ngayon, nakakausap niyo ako ng maayos kasi I'm busy with work. Sobrang busy ko na marami akong kasamang tao. Talagang dina-drown ko 'yung sarili ko with trabaho and friends para lang hindi ko maiisip masyado 'yung nangyari," said Bascon, who earlier shared his plans of marrying Uy.

"At least ngayon ito 'yung nangyari kasi kung pinatagal ko or natuloy 'yung mga plano with everything siguro mas mahihirapan kami at lalo pang masakit," he added.

Asked who initiated the breakup, Bascon said: "It's a mutual thing na nag-usap na kami pero kailangan ko aminin sa lahat din para 'di na rin maging tanong, it came from me talaga. Hanggang doon na lang po. Mayroon lang po siguro problema ako with myself, personal na hinahanap ko sa sarili ko. I guess I really had to decide kaysa masaktan ko pa lalo ang tao."

"Walang third party, all on me," stressed Bascon, who is looking forward to spend his Christmas with his family.

MMFF ENTRY

Meanwhile, Bascon is excited over his 2019 Metro Manila Film Festival film entry "Write About Love" with Yeng Constantino as his leading lady.

"I'm looking forwad to this coming MMFF for 'Write About Love' na mapapanood niyo 'yung pinaghirapan namin ng TBA Studios. Siyempre nagkagulatan kami na napili for MMFF ang 'Write About Love.' Natapos na namin ito parang start pa lang of the year, tapos pinasa na lang nila. We are just really excited and honored to be part of this MMFF," said Bascon, who also enjoyed working with Constantino.

"It's my first time working with Yeng and she's very honest, humble, sensitive. As an actor, kasi first time namin mag-work napaka-giving niya. Sobrang sweet sa set," Bascon shared.

"What so special about it sa lahat kasi nang ginawa ko, this is my first time doing a love story na may partner ako. First time doing a love story with Yeng. First time na parang one of the main leads kasi 'di ba lagi akong napa-part ng support. I'm happy to be part of a big ensemble, tapos pasok pa sa MMFF," he added.

Also part of the film are Miles Ocampo and Rocco Nacino.

Directed by Crisanto Aquino and produced by TBA Studios, "Write About Love" will hit cinemas nationwide on Christmas Day, December 25.
