To answer your questions about Uma and Pao

Ok so alot of you guys are asking me about Uma and Pao... They're both good friends and it's really sad because people are judging their friendship. Look I know these people even when they were not yet celebs and I can tell you guys they are real people and they deserve to be respected.

There are alot of articles about they trying to put color in their friendship... here's an article from GMA7 forums where Pao answered all the questions about them.

"We have nothing more but friendship." This was the statement of Eat Bulaga! mainstay Paolo Ballesteros when he vehemently denied checking in an apartelle with Pinoy Big Brother
housemate Uma Khouny.

The two were reportedly spotted checking in an apartelle last week. Even before this rumor came out, there were already intrigues questioning Ballesteros and Khouny’s manliness, particularly in DJ Mo Twister’s “Forbidden Questions" segment.

Here’s how Paolo cleared clouds of doubt over his masculinity in an interview with the -Philippine Entertainment Portal Aminado si Paolo na noon pa sila magkakilala ni Uma. Dahil parehong aspiring models ay madalas daw silang magkita sa mga VTR at go-sees para sa mga commercials.

Eventually raw ay naging magkaibigan sila at nito ngang pareho na silang naging showbiz personalities, mas lalo silang naging magkaibigan at naging badminton buddies pa. Pero lately raw ay hindi sila nagkikita ni Uma, ayon kay Paolo, kaya nagtataka siya kung bakit may ganitong isyu.

Natawa pa nga si Paolo dahil nung madalas silang maglaro ng badminton ni Uma, hindi sila natsitsismis. Ngayong hindi sila nagkakasama dahil pareho silang busy, at saka pa sila naintriga. Idiniin din ni Paolo na wala silang relasyon ni Uma aside from being friends. Ayon pa kay Paolo, wala raw siyang karelasyon ngayon. Tungkol naman sa walang sawang pagkuwestiyon sa kanyang gender, tinatawanan na lang ito ni Paolo.

Admittedly, noong una raw ay nasasaktan siya dahil baguhan pa lang siya that time. Pero ngayon, mas iniintindi ni Paolo ang magiging epekto sa pamilya niya ng mga tsismis tungkol sa kanya, partikular na sa mother niya. Kung siya lang daw, kaya niyang harapin at deadmahin ang mga pangunguwestiyon sa kanyang pagkalalaki. Ang ayaw lang niya, yung idadamay pa ang kanyang pamilya. GMANews.TV
