Mark Herras gets real about indecent proposals, Lolit Solis issue

Mark Herras has broken his silence on his recent controversies, including reports that he's been getting "indecent proposals" online.

In an episode of "Tunay na Buhay," the Kapuso actor confirmed that he recently had to turn down offers from people who offered to help him financially.

"Straight to the point naman ako, Ms P," Mark told host Pia Arcangel.

"Hindi naman ako 'yung papaligoy-ligoy pa na, 'hindi, hindi ko kailangaan' ... I will say what I want to say to that person."

Mark said these offers became more frequent after his recent issue with former manager Lolit Solis, who reportedly claimed that he borrowed money from her.

"Actually, medyo nanahimik 'yan tapos nung umingay 'yung isyu kay Nanay (Lolit) about the 30K, dumami. Dumami na parang, 'hi, Mark. I can help?'" he said.

"Actually, 'yun pa lang naman 'yung offer. Siguro ina-assume ko lang na papunta dun kasi I don't really check the profile," he added.

Mark, however, denied that he had to borrow money to buy milk for his son, Corky.

"Sabi ko, paano ako manghihingi ng gatas kung breastfed si Corky from Day 1 up to now," the actor said.

Despite their misunderstanding, Mark said he remained grateful to his "Nanay" Lolit who had supported his showbiz career for many years.

“Ang sinabi ko na lang sa interview … alam niyo naman ang mga managers, lalo na si Nanay, lalo na pag ang mga alaga nila ay nanahimik sa industriyang ito, gagawa at gagawa ng ingay 'yan para sa mga alaga nila," the actor said.

"Pero this time kasi ayaw ko lang din 'yung naging ingay kasi nadamay 'yung anak ko. Kaya humantong kami sa pag-separate ni Nanay, na 'di ko siya manager, pero Nanay will always be my Nanay," he added.
