HINDI nga nagpakita ang controversial rumored couple na sina Maris Racal at Anthony Jennings sa grand presscon ng Metro Manila Film Festival 2024 entry na “And The Breadwinner Is…”.
Ito’y dahil na rin siguro sa kinasasangkutang kontrobersiya ng dalawang Kapamilya stars matapos maglabas ng ebidensiya si Jam Villanueva tungkol sa umano’y ginawang panloloko sa kanya ng dating dyowa at ni Maris.
Naganap ang naturang mediacon kagabi, December 5, sa Dolphy Theater ng ABS-CBN kung saan present ang lead star ng movie na si Vice Ganda kasama ang iba pang cast members tulad nina Eugene Domingo, Gladys Reyes at Jhong Hilario.
Naroon din ang supporting cast na sina MC Muah, Lassy Marquez, Kokoy de Santos, Via Antonio, Malou de Guzman at ang child star na si Argus. Present din ang direktor ng pelikula na si Jun Robles Lana.
Sa isang bahagi ng presscon ay natanong nga si Vice kung ano ang naging reaksyon niya nang malamang makakasama sa kanyang MMFF 2024 movie sina Maris at Anthony.
Baka Bet Mo: Anthony pinagsabay si Maris at Jam? ‘I asked him so many times!’
Sagot ng Unkabogable Star, “Based du’n sa mga una nilang teleserye …tsaka magaling naman talaga si Maris, she is very talented. Hindi natin pwedeng i-discount or i-disregard yun. Talented talaga si Maris.
“Si Anthony Jennings naman hindi natin pwedeng i-deny na meron din siyang kakaibang brilyo kapag pinapanood n’yo sa screen,” saad ni Vice.
Pagpapatuloy pa niya, “Kaya nu’ng sinabi ng management at ng Star na isama natin sa (movie) sina Maris at Anthony, sabi ko sa kanila, ‘Let’s go!’ Sabi ko sige isama natin sila. Go ako agad!
“Kasi si Maris noon pa yan, e. Lagi siyang kasama sana sa movie ko pero hindi natutuloy,” aniya pa.

“Today, I will be speaking from my heart, lahat ng sasabihin ko ngayon ay galing sa puso ko. Nagkamali ako, and I only say sorry for everything that I have done.
“It started last June of 2024, I was in a very dark place. I’m lonely and I was getting attention from Anthony. The kind of attention that I needed.
“When I sensed that there was a brewing attention between Anthony and I nadala ako sa emotions ko. And I knew that was wrong. I came clean right away, I told my ex everything and I admitted things to him and then we broke up.
“It wasn’t easy, it was very hard for me to announce the breakup. I was so emotional during that interview because I was holding back the truth. Yun yung totoo.
“I wasn’t able to really simmer down, I wasn’t able to reflect on what had happened. I was working everyday, ang dami naming trabaho. Bago magsimula yung mga trabaho namin, I told Anthony that I broke up with my ex and he also said the same thing.
“Mind you, I was in a very lonely place. I was so lonely and I was so vulnerable at that time, like everybody na kaka-break lang. I was working everyday at sa lahat ng trabaho na yun kasama ko si Anthony.
“Aaminin ko na sa araw-araw na pagtatrabaho namin nahulog din yung loob ko. He would be very sweet to me, he would be such a gentleman to me. He would say things to me, he would tease me on the set, in front of other people.
“He would tell other people that are close to me that he was single, so I would act a certain way around him on the set because in the eyes of the people there we were both single,” ang paliwanag ni Maris.
