"Whastever happened, that's only with the people who were there and between the both of them, who really knows what happened? And I refuse to be involved because I was not there. I don't want to make the issue bigger and it's up to them if whatever comes out. It's not my position to speak," Jasmine told the press after her birthday celebration in TV5's Saturday night music show "SPINNATION" on Saturday, April 5.
Philippine Entertainment Portal reported that Anne allegedly confronted Sam and said "Ba't mo niloloko ang kapatid ko?" during Vice Ganda's party.
Very thankful
"I'm very thankful it’s a very natural thing for a sister to want to protect their little sister. There's no surprise there. I'm thankful that she is willing to to be judged for protecting me and I love her. People can judge her all they want but she's an open book," Jasmine added.
She explained that she was shooting the film “Dementia” when the incident happened.
And while Jasmine admitted she has heard both sides of the issue, she doesn't want to dwell on it, especially now that Anne is still recovering from her jellyfish sting.
On Sam's 'involvement'
"I visited her but of course I don't want to focus on something that might just bring her down or might affect her in a way, especially when she's healing in a physical way. I don't want to pressure her into thinking of things when she's just trying to heal. Pagbigyan natin ang tao na bumalik sa normal condition ang katawan nya."
She hasn’t seen Sam yet since she came back from her shooting in Bulacan because he is rehearsing for Gary Valenciano's concert.
"No, my relationship with anyone has not changed. My sister, my family, with Sam, it's all the same. It all boils down to communication. If you know how to communicate then you're set," Jasmine added.
No comment
Neither does Jasmine want to comment on talks linking Sam and his "Mirabella" co-star Julia Barretto, who said she treats the actor like a big brother.
"I don't know where that came from. I don't know how her name popped up, so whatever you guys want to believe, it's up to you guys."
Jasmine also defended Anne from bashers.
"I just wish that they find their real happiness in their life because if you're really happy as a person, you don't need to tell people 'Karma mo iyan kasi ganyan ka, kaya ka nagkasakit.' If it's about the health issue, I think sumosobra na yung mga tao."
