MARK HERRAS denies the rumor that Nadia Montenegro influenced him in his decision to manage his own finances because he got disillusioned with his adoptive father's way of handling his earnings. It's said he now also spends for Nadia's family, like when they had a vacation in Subic. "Two years ago pa when I made the decision na ako ng hahawak sa pera ko so walang kinalaman si Tita Nadia diyan," he says. I'm 23 years old na at sigurado naman, kaya ko nang i-manage ang kita ko. Hindi ko naman sila tinitipid sa bahay. Whatever they ask for, binibigay ko, basta gusto ko, alam ko kunsaan napupunta ang earnings ko. Yung sa Subic, ang binayaran ko, yun sariling kong gastos. Alangan namang di ako mag-share. I admit na madalas ako sa bahay nina Tita Nadia and that's because I can feel na part talaga ako ng family nila."
Someone says Mark is really looking for a good family who'll love him for what he is. "Kasi nga ampon lang siya ni Daddy Jun niya and his real father is in jail. Siguro, nakita niya kina Nadia yun at maganda ang bonding nila."
As for Nadia, she says it's impossible for her to influence Mark. "He's 23 na and has a mind of his own. Hindi ko siya puedeng basta diktahan. Isa pa, saludo ako sa family ni Mark at sa pagpapalaki nila sa kanya." And what can Ynna Asistio say about this? "Basta kami ni Mark, hindi kami nagpapaapekto sa ganyang mga tsismis."
