Isa na rin yung mainit, it’s up to you kung gusto mong sagutin. Are you still friends with Kim and Angelica?” the media asked her directly. </p><p>“I won’t talk about it muna. Thank you,” Bela simply answered.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/11/11/bela-padilla-critiques-politician-s-response-about-floods-0844" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Bela Padilla critiques politician’s response about floods: ‘You don’t start giving swimming lessons to a drowning man’</strong></a></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:100%">This statement comes after fans noticed that Bela wasn’t included in a post shared by Angelica last July where she expressed her gratitude to the people in the first half of 2026–– Kim was in one of the photos that she posted. </span></div><p>Fans have since then speculated that the trio–– AngBeKi–– have not been in good terms although this hasn’t been confirmed by anyone from the group as of writing. Other netizens expressed their concern as they are fans of the friendship of the three celebrities.</p><p>“Baka they are still trying to mend things,” a fan said.</p><p>“It&#x27;s good that she didn&#x27;t answer such a personal question. It&#x27;s none of our business,” another fan shared in the comment section. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/3/13/bela-padilla-bids-london-home-goodbye-1055" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Bela Padilla bids London home goodbye</strong></a></div><p>In the same media conference, Bela recalled a previous project that she worked on where she admitted having trust issues. The Kapamilya star didn’t disclose the project but maintained that she has evidence to refute the claims. </p><p>“I gave more than a thousand percent in that project. I feel like everybody there also knew that. I was surprised nga eh that so many things came out. Especially because I was still working on it–– like I would still show up to set and I was still there for two more weeks after that,” she shared.</p><p>“Like I said kanina, everything’s easily refutable–– I have receipts. Even something as simple as always being late. I could’ve easily refuted that because I come on set sometimes earlier than the prod (team). So, I was late once–– kinagat ako ng aso so I had to go to the hospital and they knew that,” she clarified.</p>
