Patrick Garcia Happy With Ex-Gf Jennylyn Mercado's Love Affair With Luis Manzano

PATRICK GARCIA is back with ABS-CBN, where he started as a child actor in films like “Separada” and “Batang PX”. He plays Maja Salvador’s rich boyfriend in “Lumayo Ka Man sa Akin”. How did it feel when Jennylyn Mercado did to him the title of his new soap to him? “Lumayo man siya, nagkalapit din naman kami uli dahil sa anak namin at magkaibigan kami uli ngayon,” he says.

He was interviewed in “E Live” by host Luis Manzano, who happens to be the new beau of her ex-GF, Jennylyn Mercado, mother of his love son, Alex Jazz, who’s about 4 years old. Did he feel awkward about it? “No, kasi nga, wala namang bad blood sa amin ni Jen and I’m really happy that she has found a new love in Luis. Mabait naman si Luis at magkaibigan kami as we’ve worked before in ‘Kampanerang Kuba’ with Anne Curtis, so walang ilangan sa amin at all.”

He admits he now has a non-showbiz GF. About ‘Lumayo Ka Man Sa Akin’, what made him move back to ABS? “When I did my last show sa GMA, ‘Iglot’, all my co-stars, puro galing sa ABS, like Claudine Barretto, Marvin Agustin, Jolina Magdangal. Sabi ko, parang it’s a sign. Timing naman, natapos ang contract ko with them and there was an offer from Direk Lauren Dyogi for me to do a new show with ABS, so tinanggap ko. Bukod dito sa TV show, may offer din silang movie with Star Cinema so I’m really happy to be back here and I’m glad everyone has given me a warm welcome.”
