Ericka Villonco Feels Hurt Over Accusations That She's Using James Reid For Publicity

NEWCOMER ERICKA VILLONCO says haters had a heyday bashing her after she revealed that she was James Reid’s ex-girlfriend. “I think they thought naghahabol pa rin ako kay James,” she says at the presscon of “Relaks, It’s Just Pag-ibig” that opens today in theatres. “We were really together for three years and broke up last March before his love team with Nadine Lustre hit it big. He doesn’t naman deny na naging kami. We’re a laidback couple. We just eat and watch movies. We’re alike in so many ways.”

She says it was a bad breakup as there’s no proper closure between them. “We just both decided to focus more on our careers. He was doing his movie then with Nadine and ako naman, I’m doing ‘Relaks, It’s Just Pag-ibig’. But mas nauna nang ipalabas yung movie niya. Afte we split, I cried over it for month. It’s good I have my family to support me. I wish we’d still be friends eventually, para walang awkwardness when we see each other. Mabait naman siya and I’m very happy for him that his career is now doing so well.”

In “Relaks, It’s Just Pag-ibig”, she plays Cupcake, a girl who is described as “baliw since birth”. “I’m so in love kasi kay Inigo Pascual dito, to the point na naging stalker niya ako.”

What can she say to those who accuse her of just using James to make a name for herself in showbiz? “I never volunteered the information na I was his ex. Sila ang nagtatanong sa’kin at sumasagot lang ako. Baka naman lalo silang magalit kundi ko sila sasagutin.”

Also a good singer, she’s hoping “Relaks, It’s Just Pag-ibig” will open more doors for her in showbiz. But she has not neglected her college studies and is now taking up business management, major in marketing.

Light na ang schedule ni Alden Richards dahil tapos na ang taping niya ng Ilustrado na last week na ngayon. Ang Bet ng Bayan at sa Sunday All Stars na muna siya napapanood, kaya hindi na siya nagtsi-check-in sa hotel para makitulog at makiligo. Nakakauwi na rin siya sa bahay nila sa Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
