On June 23, Viva artist Azi Acosta considered Andrea Brillantes a cautionary tale about having relationships with basketball players.
At the media conference for ‘Hugot,’ Acosta explained that basketball players would not have time for her if she ever got into a relationship with one of them.
“Wala po, tsaka hindi ko po type ‘yung mga nagba-basketball eh. Kasi feeling ko walang time sa akin.”
She then cited Brillantes as an example of why she is wary of getting into a relationship with a basketball player.
“Opo, tsaka lalo na ‘yung nangyari kay Andrea Brillantes, nakakadala po di ba?”
She surmised that basketball players focus most of their time on their athletic careers than on their relationships.
“Pinaka-ayaw ko po kasi sa lalaki ‘yung wala pong time sa akin. Kaya tingin ko naman sa mga basketball player, basketball ang buhay nila.”
However, she idolizes her namesake, the basketball player Azi Taulava.
“Pero kung mayroon man akong hinahangaan, lalayo pa ba ako, kay Azi Taulava.
“Hindi po kasi natuwa lang ako sa mga comment noong inintroduce ako ng Viva sa Facebook, or sa anong social media outlets. Kino-comment ng mga tao na Azi–Azi Taulava?”
Brillantes’ ex, Ricci Rivero, confirmed their break-up which resulted in netizens speculating that the basketball player cheated on the Kapamilya star.
As for the upcoming film ‘Hugot,’ it stars Benz Sangalang, Acosta, and Mark Anthony Fernandez.
The sexy film under the direction of Daniel Palacio also features Jiad Arroyo, Stephanie Raz, Apple Castro, Julio Diaz, Isadora, Joko Diaz, Nikko Delos Santos, Jordhen Suan, Raoin Sandoval, and Peter Georgo.
‘Hugot’ starts streaming on June 30 via Vivamax.
