Patrick Garcia happy for Jennylyn Mercado and Luis Manzano

PATRICK GARCIA was very friendly at the presscon of “Iglot”, no longer elusive like the time he had a gap with Jennylyn Mercado. He says he really missed acting as his last show was two years ago. “There was an offer to do ‘Little Star’ with Jen but I decided not to accept it kasi Jen and I just reconciled then and we might be accused na ginagamit ang nangyari sa’min para sa show,” he says.

So how’s their little boy, Alex Jazz, who no doubt is his carbon copy? “He’s my inspiration. Makita ko lang siya, masayang-masaya na ako. Mas naging malalim ang bonding namin kasi halos araw-araw ko siyang hinahatid at sinusunod sa school niya. Lahat ng free time ko, I try to spend with him. Binibisita ko siya lagi para magkita kami. Noong wala akong show, everyday talaga, nagkikita kami. Pero ngayong nagte-taping na ako for ‘Iglot’, every other day lang kung mapuntahan ko siya. I want him to grow up feeling na we’re a family, kahit hindi kami magkasama ng mom niya under one roof.”

Does he have a new GF? “None. Trabaho lang ako, and my son.”

What if he’d reconcile with Jen? “We’re in good terms now as friends, we’re happy this way, so wag na nating sirain kung anong meron kami ngayon. Isa pa, may Luis Manzano na siya. Okay lang siguro na magkatrabaho kami in one show. Kung noon, ayoko, ngayon, puede na kasi nakabalik na ko rito sa ‘Iglot’ where I play a villainous character as Luis Alandy’s henchman na siyang nanakaw sa anak nina Claudine Barretto at Marvin Agustin para ipaampon ito sa iba.”
