- BY CHRISTINA ALPAD

“N“Parangkayo­perohindik­ayo (it’s like you’re together but you are not officially together). It’s difficult to explain but what I can say is, we do not hide from anyone when we go out. We also don’t date anyone else. So I think, label na lang [yungkulang],” the actress said at a press conference announcing her return to TV series “La Luna Sangre.”

The original lead of fantasy series “Lobo” from which La Luna became a spin-off, Locsin appeared during the pilot week of the latterbut was eventually killed in the series. She portrayed Malia’s mother in the Daniel Padilla-Kathryn Bernardo-starrer, but returned to the show on Monday with a new role as Jacintha Magsaysay.

Meanwhile, rumors that Arce [who was formerly in a relationsh­ip with actress Bela Padilla] and Locsin [whose last boyfriend was Luis Manzano] are dating began circulatin­g in April when the former was spotted celebratin­g with the latter during her birthday, constantly posting their romantic photos and sweet nothings online thereafter.

“Yes, we exchange I love you’s, many times. Yes, napag-uusapan namannamin­peromas OKmunaangg­anito , no labels,” Locsin further noted.

While it’s easy for naysayers to comm en t tha t the actress wa s just playing along the classic show business answers when celebritie­s are confronted about relationsh­ip status, Locsin raised a valid point.

“Dibakasi, when - gether, one should ask and then the other should say yes. With that, may anniversar­y date. Walakasing ganunsaami­n so I can’t claim naman [that we are boyfriendg­irlfriend],” she related.

in labeling their relationsh­ip, Locsin was quick to point out Arce’s effect on her. “I’m happy. When you have someone very honest and smart who supports you, who gives good life pieces of advice, whom you know will always be with you, you feel comfortabl­e and relaxed. And that’s where I am right now,” Locsin shared smiling.

The actress admitted that they are both taking extra care in their current relationsh­ip because they don’t want to ruin their eight long years of friendship before falling in love.

“Iniingatan­naminangis­a’tisa kasingapag­nag-awaykami,wala nakamingib­angmakakau­sap,” Locsin said, adding that in their previous heartaches they would console each other.
