Jak Roberto explains kiss with Klea Pineda; GF Barbie Forteza reacts

Jak Roberto has explained the controversial photo of Klea Pineda kissing him on the cheek while his girlfriend Barbie Forteza gave her reaction.

“Eto na … eto na ang controversial photo,” Jak said on his latest vlog post.

“Hubad ka ba dito?” Barbie joked.

Jak said the photo, which was released on social media by GMA Network, GMA Artist Center, and GMA Drama, was from their upcoming show “Never Say Goodbye.”

“Dito talaga nagyayang mag-shot ang mga tao?” Barbie said, referring to commenters who tagged her on the photo and invited her to grieve by drinking alcohol.

Barbie clarified that she had no issue with the photo, saying Jak had already informed her about it.

“OK lang … sa pagkakaalala ko sinabi mo na sa ’kin," she told him.

Barbie said Jak sent her the photo immediately and told her, “tignan mo ’to oh ginamit nila.”

Jak then asked Barbie how she felt “nung nagre-react mga tao na, ‘tagay na Barbie, shot na Barbie.”

She said she just found the situation funny. “Wala, natatawa lang ako kasi parang, guys, I don’t drink, I’m a very wholesome person,” Barbie joked.

She then said she was touched that people cared about what she might feel.

“Actually nakakatuwa kasi maraming taong gustong dumamay sa ’kin, parang I felt loved.”

Jak specifically cited one funny comment: “Barbie left the universe.”

Even if the whole situation was a non-issue to his girlfriend, Jak still explained what happened in the photo.

“Anyway explain ko ’tong photo. Lumabas na siya sa social media, so kasama ’yan sa eksena. Sabi ni direk, ‘oh sweet sweet moment, ‘Klea kiss kay Jak.’ So ayun,” he said.

[Anyway, I will explain this photo. This photo was posted on social media. This is part of a scene where our director asked us to have a sweet moment, “Klea kiss Jak.” That’s what happened.]

“’Yan 'yun guys. Huwag niyo bigyan ng malisya, kasama sa eksena yun,” he added.

[That’s it guys, don't be malicious. It’s part of our scene.]

Barbie then commended her boyfriend for clarifying the issue, saying, “aa sobrang bait ni Jak pati sa inyo nag-e-explain siya.”

Jak will be starring on a new GMA-7 show titled “Never Say Goodbye” with Klea, Lauren Young, Snooky Serna, Max Eigenmann, Kim Rodriguez, Sharmaine Santiago, and Mosang. – RC, GMA News
