MANILA, Philippines – Sam Concepcion and Jamsine Curtis-Smith cannot say if it’s possible for them to rekindle their romance.

The ex-lovers were asked about the possibility of reconciliation during the press conference of their upcoming theater show “No Filter 2.0,” a rerun of Sandbox Collectives’ monologue series “No Filter,” on Tuesday.

“I don’t know. We would like to avoid conflicts, so for future references if you’ll gonna ask these questions, we want to avoid conflicts,” Sam said, smiling.

 

 

It was early this year when Sam and Jasmine broke up, although the two chose to keep the reason of the split to themselves.

Some reports said it was due to Anne Curtis-Smith’s disapproval of Sam, which Jasmine and Sam both has denied.

For the rerun of the show, Sam will be alternating with Jasmine. Surprisingly, the ABS-CBN artist's inclusion in the show was Jasmine's choice. The TV5 actress was part of the original run of "No Filter" last month.

Jasmine explained she won't be able to fully commit to "No Filter 2.0"  since she’ll start working on her teleserye “My Fair Lady” on TV5, thus requiring a need for an alternate.

“So we were brainstorming who will be the best alternate, they gave a few names and I didn’t feel comfortable with them and we thought about guys, and I take a look, we have a list and Sam is part of that,” she recalled.

“I chose him because I was comfortable with him, handing him my monologues,” she added.

As for Sam, he didn’t hesitate to accept the offer to do the show since he wanted to do “something that scares the hell out of me.”

“I said yes because first I haven’t been in the theater stage for years now,” he said. “This is actually my very first straight play. This is the first time that I’ll be standing there and sharing myself. I wanted to do this is because I wanted to do something that scares the hell out of me, and sometimes when you do something that scares you it turns out to be great.”

Sam has done a number of stage musicals in the past, including the lead role in 2011's "Peter Pan" and 2007's "High School Musical." Before winning the ABS-CBN reality show "Little Big Star" in 2005, Sam starred in the local stage musical adaptation of "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe."

“No Filter 2.0” also stars Mikael Daez, Lauren Young, Carla Humphries, Saab Magalona-Bacarro, Paolo Valenciano, Cai Cortez, Sarah Facuri, Micah Munoz, and Khalil Kaimo. It will run from October 3 to 25 at the Power Mac Black Box Theater in Circuit Makati.
