'Eat Bulaga' host Alexa Miro denies romance with Sandro Marcos

MANILA, Philippines — "Eat Bulaga" host Alexa Miro reiterated that she has no romantic relationship with presidential son and Ilocos Norte Representative Sandro Marcos.

In her interview with Kapuso showbiz reporter Nelson Canlas uploaded on YouTube yesterday, Alexa said that Sandro is like a family member to her. 

"No, no, no, no, hindi siya nanliligaw. Kami, like what I said in all of my past interviews, he’s one of my closest friends,” she said. 

"We trust each other with our problems, gan’un din siya with his other friends na girls and boys… thankful ako na naging part ako ng circle nila...

“With them, they’re really like family. We really have each other’s backs."

Alexa said that she's not the only girl in their clique. 

“Si Cong. — he hates it when we call him that — pamilya kami. He calls his friends his family. Marami talaga siyang kaibigang babae, as in marami kami sa group," she said. 

“But I guess because I’m the fresh face, that’s what the people latched on to. Tapos lagi kaming magkasama, pero hindi natitiyempuhan ang ibang friends,” she added. 

Alexa also recalled the moment she got bashed for being the rumored girlfriend of Sandro. 

“Hindi niya ako kinomfort. Ang sinabi niya lang, ‘Bakit mo kasi pinapansin ang bashers? What you should think about is the line from ‘Game of Thrones’ where the lion doesn’t concern itself with the opinion of the sheep.’ Very strong kasi ‘yun, gan’un siya,” she said. 

“Hindi ko siya naiintindihan before but now I just choose to not even try to understand it because we all have our own opinions, anyway, and nothing that anyone can say will really change who you are," she added. 

The rumored romantic relationship between the two began when a video surfaced showing Lani Mercado telling Sandro that she knew that his girlfriend is from Cavite. Alexa is reportedly from the province.
