We’d always see each other sa iba’t ibang okasyon, sa iba’t ibang gatherings. We would always be talking sincerely. We knew that we still like each other.”</p><p>Cherry Pie shared similarly, saying: “We remained friends and we would always see each other. And every time we see each other there is tension, which is a good thing, and something different.</p><p>“Every time na magkikita kami, you’d think na, ‘Parang iba pa rin ‘yung tingin niya.’ Pero I’d always dismiss it, kasi nga, di ba, charmer siya, e.”</p><p>Over the past two decades, both Edu and Cherry Pie had respective relationships. “Nagkakasalisihan,” was how Luis described their situation, explaining that during the time Edu was in a relationship, Cherry Pie happened to be single, and vice versa.</p><div><strong>FALLING INTO PLACE</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ASkzY4CqOdc?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>When they were cast in the ABS-CBN teleserye “Marry Me, Marry You” in 2020, Edu and Cherry Pie both happened to be available. But even then, there were “no expectations,” Edu recalled.</p><p>Their friendship, however, had a chance to deepen, owing to seeing each other every day during quarantined cycles of filming. It was during the production of the show that they finally came by their second chance — and seized it.</p><p>“He is a good man. His intentions, his heart,” Cherry Pie said, when asked what qualities she likes most about Edu. “His world revolves around his children, that’s a given. But with people, grabe, ang bait. Iisipin niya lahat ng tao, huli siya.”</p><p>Edu, meanwhile, spoke highly of Cherry Pie’s work ethic and principles, and expressed appreciation for her acts of service. “Ganoon lang talaga siya, maasikaso. Gusto lang niya makapagsilbi, makapagpakita ng pagmamahal,” he said.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/12/20/21/what-cherry-pies-son-said-about-her-romance-with-edu">‘She deserves to be happy’: What Cherry Pie Picache’s son said about her romance with Edu Manzano</a></li></ul><p>Luis, whose friendship with Cherry Pie dates back to the fantaserye “Kampanerang Kuba” where they co-starred in 2005, also shared his appreciation for the actress, in light of the new joy she has brought to his father.</p><p>“Si Tita Pie, I’ve always considered her a friend in the industry.
