Eventhough showbiz is abuzz with rumors of his recent breakup with Angel Locsin, Luis Manzano was firm on his deision to keep this part of his personal life private for now.

When asked whether or not they were still together, he insisted that he doesn’t need to give all the details of whatever difficulty that they are going through as a couple. “I don’t want to give you false answers. I’d tell you straight up that I don’t want to talk about whatever Angel and I are going through. So instead, I’m gonna beat it around the bush, I’d tell everyone right now I’d rather talk about the movie.”

A lot of people noticed the coldness between the two when Angel did a production number on ASAP ’09 last Sunday and Luis did not go to her dressing room even once. Though they both refused to elaborate on the issue when they were separately interviewed, Luis claimed that it wasn’t really a conscious effort for both of them. “We have no decision not to talk about it. Maybe because we weren’t a love team, we made a way though it can be said that we’re public property, we can still made a way to separate things that we didn’t need to talk in public,” he explained.

There were also a lot of speculations about when they started having problems because the couple didn’t give any indication of aby trouble during their previous appearances. But Luis hinted that their rift was partly the reason why Angel wasn’t able to host the fourth episode of the five-part TV special of his mom Vilma Santos, Vilma: A Woman For All Seasons, as originally planned.

But then he was also quick to say that Angel did not turn down the job out of spite. “But I hope we shouldn’t just jump into conclusions. Let us don’t judge her why she doesn’t make it. I am sure there’s really something behind it. She is not the type that wouldn’t go on the taping without any reason. We all know Angel as a very, very professional artist. She’s not that type.”

The two of them are trying to work things out and Luis promised to talk about it when he and Angel are finally past the storm. “That’s what happen. The people gave us a leeway and after a while we came out, we became very, very comfortable talking about our relationship. So hopefully it’s one phase that after a few days, after a week we can talk it out. But maybe in the meantime it’s best to leave first what’s being talk about now,” he reiterated.

He did clarify that there was no third party involved in his rift with Angel. He also denied reports linking him to Maricar Reyes and his best friend Anne Curtis who supposedly caused their breakup. “You know I’ve been hearing the weirdest stories. Everyone knows what’s my realtionship with Anne. I don’t think I need to elaborate on that.  Yes (I know Maricar) because she is suppose to be my love team in Flash Bomba. But we’re not close. There never was, never is a third party involved.  The easiest thing to do in life is to judge other people. I can say mindless judging to that.”
