MANILA, Philippines - "Umagang Kay Ganda (UKG)" host Pinky Webb on Friday cleared the issue about her relationship with actor-TV host Edu Manzano.
In an interview during a press conference for UKG's newest hosts -- Andrei Felix, Phoemela Baranda, Iya Villania and 2010 Miss Universe 4th runner-up Venus Raj, Webb said that she and Manzano are just good friends even after reports came out that they are set to get married.
"Basta kami, magkaibigan pa rin kami. I don't think that will ever change," said Webb.
Webb and Manzano, who were sweethearts for 5 years, were set to get married in October 2009. Manzano, however, decided to run for the vice presidency, and this led to the couple's break-up.
The news anchor who refused to react to Manzano's announcement that they are back in each other's arms again just stressed that the former Optical Media Board chairman will always be an important part of her life.
"Ha? Umm... Basta Edu is and will always be important and a part of my life," Webb said.
