Not even JC de Vera, who's seen at a photo with her lately.</div><div><br/></div><div>Photos of her and JC sitting beside each other seemingly on a date with a bunch of people lately spread online and according to a taped interview with <i>The Legal Wife </i>actor aired on <i>Buzz ng Bayan</i> on Sunday they were together for a despedida party of their common Star Magic road manager.</div><div><br/></div><div>During her live appearance on the same show, Jessy confirmed what JC said, <i>'Totoo naman 'yung sinabi niya na nakita kami sa isang despedida</i> party<i> na ako ang nag-</i>organize<i> kasi sobrang</i> close<i> ko sa</i> RM <i>ko na 'yun</i> and she's leaving for Canada so <i>lahat ng</i> close<i> sa amin in</i>-invite <i>ko talaga.'</i></div><div><br/></div><div>Jessy even added that JC is not wooing her but she was forthcoming enough to admit that they do exchange text messages every once in a while.</div><div><br/></div><div>'<i>Oo naman</i> we have common friends. <i>'Yung </i>stylist <i>din nila sa</i> show <i>nila</i> friend <i>ko rin, si </i>Ate Maffy my RM,' said the <i>Maria Mercedes</i> star.</div><div><br/></div><div>What if JC decides to court her?</div><div><br/></div><div>'<i>Bakit naman hindi</i>,' she replied.</div><div><br/></div><div>Jessy added, <i>'Kasi</i> for me, I know '<i>yung </i>age<i> ko</i> i'm 21<i> hindi naman pwedeng</i>, I know <i>kailangan</i> focused<i> ka sa</i> work and <i>sa</i> career<i> mo</i> and everything you know <i>pwede namang kiligin kahit minsan. Diba Iba 'yung ngiti mo kapag kinikilig ka.</i>'</div><div><br/></div><div>Having mentioned courtship, much to the public's surprise last year singer-actor Sam Milby confessed that he's wooing Jessy on national TV. </div><div><br/></div><div>Since then, many seemed to have followed what would happen between the two of them. However, instead of progressing into becoming a couple, it seems that things have shifted towards a different direction for them.</div><div><br/></div><div>“<i>At</i> first,<i> siya ‘yung may</i> time. <i>Ako kasi, noong nag</i>-start <i>siyang manligaw</i> and<i> nung umamin siya sa lahat na nanliligaw siya, siya ‘yung maraming</i> time and<i> ako ‘yung medyo walang </i>time<i> kasi nag</i>-start <i>din ‘yung Maria Mercedes,</i>' said Jessy about Sam.</div><div><br/></div><div>So time has been the major factor?</div><div><br/></div><div>'Yes and <i>siyempre kailangan rin kasi makilala mo muna 'yung tao,</i>' she answered.</div><div><br/></div><div>While she and the newly-casted<i> Dyesebel</i> actor have gone out a couple of times before, Jessy insisted that she wanted to get to know him more.</div><div><br/></div><div>“For me<i> kasi, gusto ko talagang tumagal [ang panliligaw]. Siyempre di naman pwedeng agad-agad. Siyempre kapag makikipag-relasyon ka, dapat kilatisin mo muna ‘yung tao,</i>' Jessy explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>Now, though, she says they 'rarely' see each other or even exchange text messages.</div><div><br/></div><div>Does she think that Sam has stopped wooing her?</div><div><br/></div><div><i>'Hindi ko alam baka nag-</i>give up <i>na siya sakin,' </i>Jessy said.</div><div><br/></div>
