Robi Domingo acknowledged that the experience of hosting a pageant with ex-girlfriend Gretchen Ho went less "awkward than expected."

The former couple were tapped to be this year's host of the Mr. and Miss Chinatown pageant held at Mall of Asia Arena Sunday.

Two days later, Domingo was asked about whether they ran into trouble given their tricky past during his "Tonight With Boy Abunda" interview on Tuesday. "Pero dahil sobrang galing ni Gretchen, naging OK na OK. Smooth sailing iyong event namin," he explained.
