She said their going out on dates has the blessing of both her parents and Matteo’s. “Nag-level up na ang lahat,” she adds. “Thankful ako sa kanya kasi siya lang ang ganun. Siya lang yung... basta!”
What she probably means is that Matteo is the only guy who has the guts to fight for her against her overly strict and controlling parents. Would she be willing to do a movie with Matteo as her newest ka-love team? “Wag na lang. Ayoko kasing ma-tag kaming love team. Ayoko na, di ba? Siyempre, yung personal naming buhay, amin na lang yun. Wag ng isama sa career.”
Which was what happened when she was linked to Gerald Anderson then they did movies together. Maybe that is what she wants to avoid happening all over again.
As for Matteo, when asked about how he feels that Sarah praised him for being gutsy enough to ask her parents’ permission for them date, he says: “I’m very happy na she’s now enjoying being exposed to different people. Na dapat lang naman kasi she’s 25 na, she’s entitled to do what she wants to do. She deserves to be happy. I respect her parents. I’m not rude or anything. As for Sarah, she wants to be independent woman now, she’s growing, she wants to live life to the fullest and I’m very proud of her.”
