Happy ako for them. May blessing yun — ‘yung pagiging good friends nila sobrang may blessing [sa akin]. What you see is what you get,” she said. </p><p>For his part, Darren said he’s grateful for the trust Carmina and Cassy’s father, Zoren Legaspi, have given him. </p><p>&quot;And I am always very grateful po kasi they trust me enough, allow me to go [in their home] kahit minsan sobrang last minute, walang paalam po sa kanila. You know just being able to hang out with Cassy outside of their house, stuff like that,” he told CinemaNews in 2022.</p><p>“Siyempre iba po kapag may daughter ka, the tendency is to kind of &#x27;guard&#x27; her more or have more restrictions. Pero I am glad that Tita Mina and Tito Zoren trust me naman po,&quot; he added.</p><p>Both Darren and Cassy have yet to confirm the status of their relationship.</p>
