Ex-sweethearts ill at ease at presscon

Can ex-lovers be friends? Well, maybe not right away.

Un-couple Zanjoe Marudo and Mariel Rodriguez, who broke up last month, looked ill at ease as they were put on the spot at the presscon of their movie, Star Cinema’s 5-in-1 horror movie, "Cinco."

Although featured in separate episodes – he in "Puso" and she in "Mukha" – all eyes were on the two during the Q&A. Those present were asked to refrain from asking about their just-concluded love affair, but when Mariel spoke about karma, there was a follow up about pagtataksil.

Tension filled the air. Pokwang, one of Zanjoe’s leading ladies in "Puso" and Mariel’s co-host in the daily TV show, "Wowowee," decided to speak in behalf of her friend. The comedienne, seated in between the ex-sweethearts, butted in to say: "Wala naming nanloko kay Mariel," but then Mariel chided her: "Ikaw si Mariel?" Mariel proceeded to say that she is thankful for all the projects coming her way. A short while after, the organizers signaled the end of the question and answer, asking for the other stars – including Bangs Garcia, Rayver Cruz, Maja Salvador and the Gigger Boys (Robi Domingo, Sam Concepcion and AJ Perez) – to say their final message to the press.

Mariel stars as a mean boss in "Mukha," which features her solo, while Zanjoe has two leading ladies – Pokwang and Bangs – in "Puso."

"Nakagamit ka na ba ng gayuma para sa taong sobrang mahal mo?" asks Pokwang, who locks lips with Zanjoe in their episode, "Kung hindi pa, mag-ingat ka. Baka hindi mo alam kung anong ginagawa mo."

"Maganda po ang story nung sa amin ni Pokwang. Ipakikita kung ano ang maaaring maging epekto sa buhay nung mga taong gagawin ang lahat makuha lang ang atensyon at pagmamahal ng kanilang gusting maging partner," Zanjoe relates.

Will "Cinco" – directed by five directors, newbies Frasco Mortiz, Enrico Santos, Ato Bautista, Nick Olanka and the more senior Cathy Garcia-Molina – deliver the chills and become a blockbuster or at least be as exciting as its presscon? Find out on July 14.
