There is no romantic relationship between basketball star Parc Pingris and actress Kim Rodriguez, the two recently stressed.
This, after the two sparked social media buzz this holy week following some netizens assuming that the two were together when their photos on social media at seemingly the same location were taken at the same time.
Pingris took to social media to deny a romantic relationship with the actress, clarifying that he is in a good relationship with his family.
“Walang katotohanan ang mga lumalabas na balita tungkol sa amin ni Ms. Kim Rodriguez. Walang namamagitan sa amin dalawa gaya ng sinasabi ng ibang tao. Nakasama ko po si Ms. Kim sa isang basketball evento at sa isa pang event noong nagging muse siya ng team naming. Salamat din sa nagpa-abot ng concern. Ok kami ng pamilya ko. Wag na po tayo magpakalat ng mga balita na hindi totoo. Humihingi po kami ng respeto para hindi madamay ang mga anak nami ni Danica. Salamat po at God Bless po,” the basketball player wrote on his social media.
Veteran showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz, who was Rodriguez’s talent manager, also put down the rumors in his YouTube blog.
Diaz said the actress had to stop over in a gasoline station on her way to Subic with her friends.
“Nag-stopover po ako diyan kasi nagpunta ako ng subic kasama yung mga kaibigan ko. Yung kay Marc Pingris po hindi ko po alam kung kailan yun,” Rodriguez told her talent manager.
“Kahit itanong niyo po sa girl na 'yan kung magkasama kami ni Marc Pingris or pareho niya kaming nakita on that same time, I'm sure alam niya ang totoo,” she added.
Netizen also pointed out that Pingris and Rodriguez had an individual photo overlooking the Sydney Opera House.
Diaz said that Kim is with her two friends when they have a vacation in Australia.
“Sabi sa akin ni Kim, ‘Anong pakialam ko may picture doon si Marc Pingris sa [Sydney] Opera House [one of Sydney’s most famous tourist attractions], eh ako din mayrong picture? Eh lahat naman ng nagpupunta ng Sydney dapat may picture ka daw sa Opera House kaya may picture ako,’” he explained.
