I mean, everything was very unexpected. Nothing was planned definitely. So everything just happened naturally and here we are. Kasi nag-start kami working out together. Kasama pa nga namin si Jake Cuenca eh. Like exactly a year ago. So wala talagang plans, anything to get into an intimate relationship. Kumbaga everything just happened naturally and yun nga, kumbaga, wala, ganun naman ang love di ba? Mabibigla ka na lang. You don’t plan,” he told PUSH.</p>

Actor Marco Gumabao has filed his certificate of candidacy to run in the province of Camarines Sur in next year’s elections.
