On November 24, Viva artist Ava Mendez revealed how she handles cheating partners.
At the media conference for Laruan, which LionhearTV covered, Mendez asserted that she would let go and forgive her former lover if he cheated on her.
“Siyempre, pag alam kong nagche-cheat na, binibitawan ko na. Pero pinapatawad ko na rin ‘yun, kasi sometimes kapag nagche-cheat ang isang tao, it’s either na may kulang sayo or siya ‘yung may mali. So ‘yun lang ‘yun.”
She then recounted her encounter with a past relationship that toyed with her feelings.
“Ako ‘yung napaglaruan actually, at hindi ko alam na ganon pala ‘yung intention niya pero sobrang blind ako kasi ‘yung treatment niya sa akin is parang true gentleman, pero hindi pala ‘yun. So ‘yun pala ‘yung ginagawa niya para maka-ano siya, ‘yun ‘yung pang-attract niya sa girls. So bina-blind spot ka niya. Hanggang sa na-realize ko hindi pala totoo.”
Aside from past relationships, Mendez confessed that she had experienced a former friend who lied to her and backstabbed the Viva artist.
“Sa akin naman, ang ginawa sa akin is ‘yung parang, siguro parang sa circle– sa mga dati kong naging kaibigan. Akala ko kasi safe space ko sila, pero hindi ko alam na may sinasabi sa akin behind my back. And then, sa lahat ng mga parang gusto kong, ‘yung mga nagkaka-gusto sa akin dati, is parang sinisira nila ako sa kanila.
“So ginagawan nila ako ng butas para masira ako doon sa guy na nagkakagusto sa akin na gusto ko rin. So parang, ayun, medyo may trust issues ako talaga sa mga friends. Pero, napatawad ko rin naman na ‘yung mga ‘yun.”
Ava Mendez stars in the suspense-filled Vivamax film Laruan with other Viva artists such as Franki Russel, Kiko Estrada, and Jay Manalo.
Under the direction of Yam Laranas, Laruan, premieres via Vivamax Plus on December 12 and streams through Vivamax on December 16.
