On February 14, Kapamilya artist Maris Racal recalled her best Valentine’s Day with her beau Rico Blanco.
During the media conference for Noreen Capili’s The Goodbye Girl, Racal said that the time when her relationship with Blanco was still a secret was her best Valentine’s Day.
“Siguro ‘yung unang Valentine’s namin ni Rico. ‘Yung feeling na secret pa kami noon tapos may malaking bulaklak na wala akong choice kung hindi dalhin sa set. Kasi saan ko siya iiwanan? And then nakakakilig lang ‘yung moment na ‘yun.”
She recalled the past Valentine’s Days with her previous relationships, noting that she felt pressure to celebrate the occasion when she was younger.
“Nakaka-pressure ‘yung mga big moments na about love. ‘Yung anniversary, Valentine’s, monthsary, nakaka-pressure pag bagets ka pa. So definitely, may Valentine’s na may away, na malalang away. ‘Yun nape-pressure lang kasi ang in-love ng lahat, ng aura, ng energy ng lahat. I mean like one minor mistake could lead to a major argument.”
She then shared that having constant communication made her relationship with Blanco work.
“Constant communication lang ng gusto at ng ayaw. Kasi kapag sinasabi niyo sa isa’t isa ‘yung parang okay ‘yung okay ang mga nangyayari wala masyadong away.”
Netizens first speculated on the romance between Racal and Blanco in March 2021. Racal then admitted her relationship with Blanco in May 2021.
