<div><img src='' alt='062813-jessy_main.jpg' width='305' height='290' align='left' border='0'>After playing lovers in <i>Precious Hearts Romance: Paraiso,</i> Jessy Mendiola admitted she almost had a relationship with co-star Matteo Guidicelli. “<i>Hindi, muntik na. Sayang naudlot. Siguro kasi lagi na lang sinasabi na</i> time and career, <i>palaging ganun</i>. Honestly <i>kasi nung Paraiso hindi kami</i> close <i>nung simula,</i> not even <i>nung</i> middle.<i> Nung </i>end <i>lang kami naging</i> close, <i>pinakilala na nga ako sa pamilya niya. Pinakilala ko din siya sa </i>family <i>ko. yung</i> friends <i>niya napakilala din niya sa akin tapos palagi din kaming lumalabas</i> after<i> ng</i> show. <i>Ang dami na ring nagsasabi na, ‘Hala, baka pag tapos na yung Paraiso tapos na rin kayo.’ Sa akin siguro</i>, on hold <i>muna ang paraiso</i> (laughs), <i>Maria Mercedes muna tayo. Para sa akin, napagdesisyonan na naming dalawa na </i>mutual <i>na trabaho na lang muna. Pero</i> I’m not closing nay doors <i>kasi</i> we are friends <i>naman ni</i> Matteo. We still talk. We just talked two days ago, <i>ganun</i>. Happy <i>din ako para sa kanya kasi ang dami niyang trabaho ngayon. Kung pagsasabayin pa namin lahat baka mabaliw pa siya at mag</i>-run, swim <i>at</i> bike <i>na siya </i>away from me (laughs),” she shared during her <i>Maria Mercedes</i> presscon held last June 16 inside ABS-CBN.</div><div><br/></div><div>After finally admitting to the press about her two-year relationship with JM De Guzman, Jessy said being on <i>Paraiso</i> helped her move on from the breakup during that time. “<i>Nung naghiwalay kami ni </i>JM,<i> bago pa yun umere ang Paraiso.</i> So <i>yung Paraiso nag-</i>start <i>kami mag-</i>tape a year ago. <i>Matagal na talaga siya.</i> Actually<i> masasabi ko na yung Paraiso ang nag-</i>open up<i> sa akin at nag</i>-heal <i>sa akin sa pinagdaanan ko kay </i>JM <i>at sa buhay ko. </i>At least <i>ngayon</i> I can say I’m open now. I’m whole now. At least <i>ngayon pag ginawa ko na ang Maria Mercedes alam ko na kung sino ako at hindi na ako malilito</i>,” she explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jessy denied reports she got jealous of Matteo’s song number with Sarah Geronimo during a US tour. Rumor has it that Matteo even tried to court the Popstar Princess. “<i>Hindi, nahihiya nga ako kay </i>Sarah <i>kasi palagi na lang siya yung nadadawit dito sa pangyayaring ito. May mga nag-ti</i>-tweet <i>sa akin, may mga nagagalit na bakit daw dinadamay si</i> Sarah. <i>Hindi po siya kasali. Nagkataon siguro na nagkaroon sila ng </i>show<i> sa</i> States and <i>wala, ayoko siyang isama sa nangyayari kasi hindi naman talaga. Ba’t naman ako magseselos sa ganun, trabaho yun eh</i>,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>The<i> Maria Mercedes</i> star said she does not know what is the real score between Matteo and Sarah now. “<i>Wala akong alam. Halata naman eh na </i>crush<i> niya talaga si </i>Sarah.<i> Hindi ko alam sa kanila, kung meron man eh di</i> <i>mabuti.</i> I have nothing against it <i>kasi labas naman ako sa nanagyayari sa kanilang dalawa. Ang akin lang, ma-hu-</i>hurt <i>siguro ako kung kaming dalawa </i>involved <i>talaga pero wala eh, hindi naman talaga sa aming tatlo yun eh. kung ano yung nanagyari sa amin ni </i>Matteo <i>ngayon, yun pa rin yun sa dati. Yung sa kanila, sa kanila yun. Hindi ako makikialam,</i>” she added.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jessy said she has no problem if Matteo and Sarah do become a couple. “Why not? <i>Pareho naman silang</i> singers and <i>parehas naman silang</i> very good performers, why not?” she added.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jessy revealed she and Matteo are even in talks with Star Magic to do a project together again in the future. The pretty mestiza said there would be no problem if she worked with him again in a series. She does not deny that they almost became a couple. “<i>Mabait talaga si </i>Matteo, <i>sobrang</i> bait <i>niyang tao. Halata naman siguro sa pagdadala niya. </i>He’d very family-oriented and decent so <i>mabait siya. Hindi ko rin kasi alam eh.</i> I really can’t speak for him. But all I can say is,<i> ako ito. Ito yung sinasabi ko.</i> Almost. But we chose to stop it <i>hangga’t maaga pa kasi </i>we chose to focus <i>muna sa trabaho</i> at to be honest, <i>ngayon lang kami napapansin. Ngayon lang kami nabibigyan ng</i> break so <i>mas pinili namin na</i> since we’re working together and in one industry, why not just understand each other and do what we do best. What you hear or what you see is <i>kung ano talaga ang totoo sa amin. Hindi ko masasabing nanligaw talaga na ligaw pero nagparamdam siya. Sobrang halata naman siguro na nagparamdam siya sa akin,</i> pictures <i>pa lang eh halatang halata na. Sino ba namang lalake ang magpapakilala sa babae sa pamilya?</i>” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>When asked about the possibility of rekindling a possible romance with the Cebuano actor, Jessy said she is still open to the idea. “<i>Nag-usapan na nga namin na huwag na muna.</i> But we still talk to each other. We’re still friends. <i>Malay niyo,</i> friends can lead to something. <i>Kung paano kami nagsimula</i>,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>For more Kapamilya updates, log on daily to <a href='http://www.Push.com.ph'>Push.com.ph</a> and follow <a href='https://twitter.com/Push_Mina'>Push_Mina</a> on Twitter.</div>
