Real-life celebrity couple Loisa Andalio and Ronnie Alonte on Friday, May 20 insisted that they will not enter a lived-in setup unless they are married.
Recently, a rumor surfaced that the couple is living together after Alonte, 25, posted a cryptic post on his Instagram, which he later on deleted.
It was later on clarified by Andalio, 23, that it was just mere speculation.
In the press conference for their upcoming teleserye Love in 40 Days, the couple was asked about the rumor, and she, once again reiterated that it was fake news.
“Actually, may issue na ganoon. Kasi magkalapit lang ang bahay namin. As in 15 minutes away. Cavite siya, Laguna ako. So parang, ‘beh kailangan ko ng kausap, ganiyan, usap tayo.’ So ang dali lang magpunta, picture kami. So hindi ko alam ang issue pala, live in na,” explained Andalio.
She added, “Pero ako naman, basta as long as na alam ko naman na hindi, hindi ko naman na pinapatulan. Kagaya ng sinasabi ni Ronnie, yung mga pino-post namin sa social media, yung nakikita ng mga tao, lahat iyon totoo.”
However, she is fine with the possibility of her and Alonte living together under a single roof. It all depends on her family, of course.
“Sa partner, p’wede naman. Pero kasi depende sa family ko kung paano ka pagkakatiwalaan. Basta siguro alam mo rin yung priority mo na hindi mo pababayaan ang family mo. I think wala namang masama sa ganoon. Kasi ‘di ba ang dami nating nakikitang mga vlogger na live in sila pero nagtutulungan sila para mag-grow.”
But the actor wants to be wed first.
“Sabi ko sa kanya kasal muna. Sa totoo lang sa lahat ng plano namin sa buhay, kapag dumating yung time na about sa mga baby baby, anak-anak, dapat kailangang kasal muna bago kami magkaroon. So lahat nakaplano.”
He added, “Tsaka mas masaya kami na lagi kaming magkasama. And siyempre may mga aso kami na, mga babies namin na kailangan lagi naming nakikita.”
The actor also has no time in joining the rumors between him and Andalio.
“Kami naman, sabi namin ni Loisa, kung ano mang lumabas na issue, ‘wag na tayong makisali.”
Moreso, they “do not care” what other people think.
“Tsaka dumating kami sa punto na ang daming sinasabi sa amin ng mga tao na mabigat sa pakiramdam kapag lalo mo silang pinapansin.
“So, ngayon, kami, hindi namin pinapansin. Mas maluwag kami, mas tahimik ang buhay namin. Wala silang maibabatong masama hanggang ngayon, wala kaming ginawa, wala kaming inaapakang tao,” stated the actor.
When is the marriage?
The couple is still unprepared to dive into married life.
They, eventually, will reach the point that they want to ‘tie the knot.’
“Hindi pa siguro ngayon. Dadating tayo doon. Sa ngayon, ang focus namin is i-enjoy muna ‘yung buhay namin hangga’t bata pa kami, mag-ipon para ‘pag dumating ‘yung panahon na kailangan na, eh di, tara na.
“Dadating tayo diyan. Sa ngayon, i-enjoy muna namin. Medyo bata pa kami para doon. Pero huwag kayong mag-alala: iyon naman ang mindset namin, nakaplano ‘yan. Pero hindi pa ngayon,” said Alonte.
Andalio added, “Ayaw po namin pumasok sa ganoon kataas na relationship — ‘yung engaged na — kasi ang babata pa po namin. Marami pa kaming gagawin din. Basta, nandito kami to support each other. Iyon na ‘yung the best.”
She, however, thinks that by 27, she will be a wife.
“Siguro mga 27. Kasi sayang pa yung madami pang magagawa.”
Alonte added, “Tsaka gusto pa naming mag-ipon. So after noong ipon. Kasi mararamdaman namin iyan—actually walang eksakto. Kapag dumating na yung time na alam namin na kaya na—na ready na, ba’t hindi.”
In the meantime, Love in 40 Days is the couple’s first-ever lead role in a series. It is directed by Manny Palo and Jojo Saguin.
Catch it on May 30 only on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, and TV5, with two-day advanced episodes on iWantTFC.
