While saying she’s now “content” and “happy,” Jennylyn
Mercado seemingly hinted still having feelings for her ex-boyfriend Luis
Manzano.
“May expiration ba ang pagmamahal,” responds Jennylyn, adding that she always gives everything into a relationship.
The actress acknowledges that Luis was a special part of her life and she values the time they were together for more than two years.
Notwithstanding their fall out, Jennylyn has no gripe nor regret about it. No one is to be blame for their breakup, saying that they both share “responsibility” for it.
“Wala akong pinanghihinayangan, wala akong pinagsisisihan. Kasi sa isang relationship, two way iyan eh. ‘Pag pumasok ka sa isang relationship, kumbaga couple kayo and kung magkamali ang isa sa inyo, may responsibility ka rin... Give and take,” she said.
Despite marriage rumors in the past, Jennylyn clarified that she and Luis never talked about settling down.
“No, hindi kami nagkaroon ng time na pag-usapan ‘yung mga ganong bagay. Ang importante naman, naging masaya kami. Espesyal siya sa akin at naging part siya ng buhay ko,” she said.
After giving everything to the relationship, Jennylyn says she now wants to prioritize herself more than anything else.
“Siguro mas una ko nang mamahalin ‘yung sarili ko. And that’s very important. Sa lahat ng taong minahal ko at lahat ng taong dumaan sa buhay, grabe. Halos binibigay natin ‘yung lahat.
“Kailangan kong mahalin at unahin ang sarili ko bago ang ibang tao,” she shared.
Out of respect to Luis’ family, Jennylyn opts to keep mum on details of their breakup. The 26-year-old single mother claims that she’s now a “matured woman” that limits what she publicly shares.
