Cacai Bautista cried over Mario Maurer during her exclusive interview with Showbiz Inside Report on Saturday, March 9. The comedienne expressed her gratitude towards the Thai superstar that despite all the intrigues, their friendship remained strong.
"Naiiyak ako kasi sobrang bait niya talaga sa akin. Hindi ko kasi akalain na magiging magkaibigan kami na ganito eh. Kasi 'yung mga tao... Porket ba komedyante na chaka hindi na pwedeng magkaroon ng kaibigan na sikat na superstar, na international star?"
"Siya lang 'yung nagpatunay na wala talagang pinipili 'yung totoong pagkakaibigan, kahit ano ka pa. Marami akong kaibigan, pero 'di ba, sino ba mag-aakala na ako lang, si Cacai lang [ang magiging kaibigan ni Mario]," Cacai told host Carmina Villaroel.
Cacai Bautista and Mario Maurer became friends on the set of Suddenly It's Magic where Cacai had a supporting role. However, rumors about her and Mario dating surfaced after she posted a series of photos on Instagram showing her with the Thai actor, his friends and family members.
Following these rumors Cacai was hurt by the reactions on her supposed relationship with the Thai heartthrob and the allegations that she's just using Mario to boost her popularity.
"Minsan natatawa ako, minsan nase-stress ako. Wala naman ako pakialam kahit ano pang sabihin -- 'ambisyosa,' 'ilusyonada.' Pero 'yung sasabihin nila na I'm using Mario to be popular... Kasi hindi naman showbiz 'yung friendship namin eh. Totoong friendship iyon 'no," she said.
When asked if there's the possibility that she indeed would develop romantic feelings for Mario, Cacai said, "Siyempre, sumasagi 'yun sa isip ko. who wouldn't fall in love for a guy who's really nice, who has simple dreams? Everybody would fall in love not only with the Mario who is a superstar, but Mario as the person that he is. Parang, wow. Ako rin, may ganoon din. Pero sa ngayon gusto ko maging steady 'yung friendship namin," she said.
Her message to Mario Maurer:
"Thank you for being a friend. I know you don’t want me to worry anymore, but [it's just] because I want to protect you. I love you po," Cacai said extending her gratitude to Mario. "Whatever happens, I will still be your friend no matter what, even if you're not Mario the star anymore, I promise you that. Thank you so much," she added.
