MANILA, Philippines — New actor Nio Tria, son of Cherry Pie Picache, expressed his support for his mother’s romance with veteran actor Edu Manzano.
At a virtual media conference for “Saying Goodbye,” the mini-series where he co-stars with Andrea Brillantes and Seth Fedelin, Nio said he’s happy with his mother’s love life.
“Masaya naman po lahat with everything that’s happening right now. Siyempre noong lumabas na sa balita na they are dating, hindi na ako nagulat. Siyempre, alam ko na before pa na pinupuntahan ni Tito Edu ‘yung mom ko, so nami-meet ko na siya. I get to interact with him, talk to him as well,” Nio said.
He also said that he’s happy that the public is welcoming of the relationship of Cherry Pie and Edu.
“Noong nalaman ko na nalabas na online, sabi ko, ‘Okay, that’s good,’ na alam na ng mga ibang tao. Sana supportive sila. And I’m really happy na supportive lahat ng tao. Nagulat kaming lahat na naging trending,” he said.
“I’m just really happy for my mom, kasi nakikita ko naman na masaya siya ngayon. She deserves to be happy,” he added.
When asked if he approves of Edu as his mother’s partner, he answered affirmatively.
“Boto naman po,” he said.
Edu’s son Luis Manzano had confirmed his father's relationship with Cherry Pie.
In his recent interview with G3 San Diego, Luis said that they were at first surprised upon learning of the “Marry Me, Marry You” co-stars' offscreen item.
“Kung maibabalik ang prangkisa ng ABS-CBN next year, baka si Daddy at Tita Pie, itapat sa KathNiel,” Luis joked.
“Sobrang we were caught off guard. No one saw it coming. I don’t even think Dad and Tita Pie saw it coming,” he added.
