Manila, Philippines — Host Robi Domingo neither confirmed nor denied the rumored confrontation between him and actor John Lloyd Cruz during the wedding of Ria Atayde and Zanjoe Marudo. 

In his interview with Pep.ph, Robi said that as long as Ria and Zanjoe are okay, everything is fine. 

“My stand is as long as Ria and Zanjoe are okay, then I’m okay. ‘Yun ang pinakamahalaga,” he said.

“The Atayde family is okay, the Marudo family is okay, for me there’s nothing to worry about,” he added.

Ria recently addressed rumors of an alleged conflict between Robi and John Lloyd during her wedding with actor Zanjoe.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Ria neither confirmed nor denied the reports, stressing that nothing disrupted the ceremony.

“If something happened between them, they kept it away from me. It wasn’t something that disrupted the event or anything. It went very smoothly. It was a beautiful night,” she said.

She added that guests cooperated in keeping the wedding private, refraining from taking photos or videos during the event.

Showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz recently reported that Robi and John Lloyd had a confrontation at the wedding.

“So habang nagho-host daw itong si Robi, ito’y kuwento lamang sa atin ano, ng isa sa mga nakasaksi ro’n, na habang nagho-host (nagsa-salita) si Robi ay nasambit niya kay Ria na, ‘how does it feel do be Mrs. Marudo?’ and si Zanjoe naman, ‘how does if feel to be Mr. Atayde?’

“Siyempre magka-kaibigan sila, so, tawanan (at) wala namang napikon even Zanjoe at si Ria, tawanan kasi sobrang close ‘yang mga ‘yan.

“So, pagbaba ni Robi ng entablado patungo do’n sa may bar, e, biglang (lumapit) um-approach si John Lloyd Cruz na isa rin sa mga bisita at ‘yung tagpo na ‘yun na paglapit ni John Lloyd, e, biglang napalakas ‘yung boses ni John Lloyd kaya nakapukaw ng atensyon ng ibang bisita.

“Sabi raw ni John Lloyd (kay Robi), ‘Mali ‘yung sinabi mo, in-appropriate ‘yung sinabi mo. Okay ba ‘yung sinabi mo na tawagin mong Mr. Atayde (si Zanjoe).

“Sabi ni Robi raw, ‘May isyu ba tayo?”

“Bakit ano gusto mo mangyari (pasugod na sabi raw ni Lloydie).” (J.M. Severo/ Philstar)
