Vice Ganda drops hints on Coco Martin's status

MANILA, Philippines — Vice Ganda seemed to have hinted at Coco Martin's new relationship status.

During the press conference of their film "Beauty and the Bestie" on Wednesday, Vice was asked if Coco is currently in a relationship.

Before Vice could answer Coco pleaded, "Uy, 'wag!"

Vice laughed before answering, "Ayoko na lang magsalita kasi ayoko naman manggaling sa akin na oo," which elicited laughter from the members of the press.

Coco has been linked to Julia Montes since they've worked together in the TV series "Walang Hanggan" in 2012.

Vice and Coco's friendship started even before they entered showbiz, and has endured until now.

"Personal. Sobrang personal," Vice said, describing his friendship with Coco. "May mga bagay kaming sine-share na hindi namin kaya i-share sa lahat, na kaya ko i-share kay Coco."

Vice added that despite their busy schedules, he appreciates how Coco still manages to check on him.

"Hindi kami madalas nagkikita sa sobrang dami ng ginagawa niya, hindi kami masyado nagkakausap pero alam kong andyan siya at aware siya sa nangyayari sa buhay ko," he said about Coco.

"Kasi gusto niya alam niya lahat, papakialaman niya. Kasi feel niya na kapamilya niya ako."

"Kaya 'yon talaga pinanghahawakan ko, hindi ako natatakot tumandang mag-isa kasi hindi ako mag-iisa, kasi may Coco Martin. Hindi ako mala-loveless kasi mahal namin ang isa't isa, e," he added.

After working together in the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival entry "Beauty and the Bestie," Vice was glad to make a new memory with his best friend.

Although he admitted that he had to adjust with Coco's working style.

"No'ng una nga dati nang magsisimula pa lang kami, may pressure kasi kung ano work ethics ni Coco, e," he said. "Kasi alam ko may sarili siyang mundo, may sarili siyang style, natatakot ako kasi baka mag-clash kami ng kaibigan ko. Pero hindi, sobrang fun."

Also part of the film are Karla Estrada, James Reid, Nadine Lustre, Ryan Bang, Marco Masa, Alonzo Muhlach, MC Calaquian and Lassy, under the direction of Wenn de Ramas.
