Vloggers Jai Asuncion and Agassi Ching confirm breakup
Vloggers Jai Asuncion and Agassi Ching, popularly known as JaiGa, announced their breakup on Instagram on Saturday, February 17.
In a statement, Jai said that they "tried to work things out" but they decided to end their relationship.
"I know a lot of you are asking about Aga and I. We tried to work things out pero hanggang dito na lang po talaga," the statement read.
"It was a wonderful almost 5 year relationship with Aga, I learned a lot from him and we both made each other happy for the past years."
Jai also clarified that their relationship was genuine, and "never about clout."
"I just want to make it clear that, for me, our relationship was never about clout. My love for Aga was genuine and not influenced by our careers. This wasn't an easy choice, but we believe that it's the right one.
"I wasn't expecting this to happen either because we were the happiest. Doing things together, achieving our dreams together. I really tried my best for our relationship to work.
"This won't be easy for me as well because I know in myself how much I love him but I guess God has a better plan for us, for me."
In the end, Jai penned a heartful message to their fans who supported them from the beginning.
"To our JaiGa fam, thank you for your support since the beginning. Sobra akong nagpapasalamat na hindi nyo kami iniwan kahit nagkaroon na ng problema. Your love for us are one of the reasons kung bakit kami nagpapatuloy sa mga ginagawa namin.
"Iba yung nagawa ng pagmamahal ninyo saming dalawa and without you guys, wala kami sa kung nasaan kami ngayon and I'm very grateful for that. Thank you for changing our lives.
"We will keep doing things on our own. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your support & for being a part of our journey."
Agassi also announced their breakup in a separate post on his own Instagram account as he reiterated that their relationship was genuine from the beginning.
"I know this is sudden, at hindi rin ito madaling sabihin. Gusto ko lang sabihin sa inyo na me and Jai aren't together anymore, pero gusto ko lang malaman niyo na everything we had was real. Not because of clout, fame, or anything," he said in the statement.
"Yung pinagsamahan at pagmamahalan namin ni Jai ay totoo and that will always have a special place in my heart."
Agassi also thanked their fans who became their source of strength and inspiration in the last five years.
"Gusto ko lang rin humingi ng pasensya sa lahat ng JaiGa Fam who supported us since the beginning, hanggang sa lumaki na ang pamilya natin, isa kayo sa naging source of strength and inspiration namin lalo na in times na nawawalan na ako ng pag-asa. Maraming salamat."
In the end, Agassi penned a message for Jai.
"For Jai, salamat sa lahat, alam ko napag-usapan na natin to, pero thank you for the best 4 years of my life. My time with you has been the BEST and you taught me a lot of things, made me a better man and made me believe that anything is possible," he wrote.
"Sorry sa lahat ng pagkukulang ko sayo, sorry sa mga pangakong hindi ko natupad. You are truly one of a kind and you deserve nothing but the best, and kahit anong mangyari, I'm always here to support you sa lahat ng future plans mo.
"Thank you, Jajai, for [everything. Hanggang] dito na lang."
