In a segment of the show, Garcia was asked by hosts Alora Samsam and Darla Sauler if he would pursue Alawi or just befriend the actress. “Syempre jojowain. I mean c&#x27;mon, choosy ka pa ba? Mabait, maganda, sexy...magiging choosy ka pa ba dun,” Garcia said of Alawi.However, Garcia immediately downplayed his answer. “Pero hindi kasi lahat ng tao masasabi mong meant para maging magkarelasyon. May nakatadhana sa &#x27;yo na parang mami-meet mo lang para maging kaibigan mo kasi &#x27;di mo masasabi. &#x27;Yun lang naman sa &#x27;kin,” he explained. As part of the dare, Garcia was asked to call Alawi and ask the same questions thrown at him.The vlogger quickly answered her phone and spoke candidly with the actor as she encouraged viewers to participate in the donation drive. While hesitant at first, Garcia was left with no choice but to ask Alawi, who has a huge crush on him: “Ako, jojowain o totropahin?”Alawi refused to give a categorical answer and just responded, “Secret.” Garcia accepted it before wishing the actress a speedy recovery. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/01/19/22/joshua-garcia-trends-again-with-new-tiktok-video">‘Juswa, sobra ka na!’: Joshua Garcia trends again with new TikTok video</a></li></ul>Alawi recently shared in her vlog about battling COVID-19 with her family and is currently in isolation. “Sorry sa istorbo.
