Rich Asuncion denies relationship with Aljur Abrenica

RICH ASUNCION says at the presscon of "Panday Kids" that the rumor linking her to Aljur Abrenica is not true. "Hindi naging kami," she says. "Wala kaming naging relasyon kaya hindi rin totoo ang balitang inutusan ako ng GMA na lumayo sa kanya kasi makakasira ako sa love team nila ni Kris Bernal. Ang feeling ko nga, nagagamit ako sa pag-angat ng love team nila. Ayokong makisabit sa pangalan ng iba. Gusto ko nga magkaroon na ako ng boyfriend para matigil na ang tsismis sa amin kasi nagmumukha akong kontrabida sa love team nila."

How come it's said she's not on speaking terms with Kris Bernal? "That's not true. Hindi kami close, but nagbebeso kami when we see each other. Wala kaming gap like what they say. I'm happy for the success ng love team nila ni Aljur at malayo na ang narating nila."

Doesn't it cross her mind that she could have been Aljur's ka-love team? "No, may sarili akong career. I'm happy nga na I play a good role in 'Panday Kids' as Fatima, the older sister of Julian Trono who's one of the Panday Kids. Muslim kami rito so I have to act and behave well like a real Muslim."
