MANILA, Philippines — Actor Joshua Garcia is happy to focus on work amid the controversy hounding his reported former girlfriend Julia Barretto and actor Gerald Anderson.

“Ako po ay okay na okay lang,” Garcia said Thursday night when asked about how he has been doing during the press conference of his new teleserye “The Killer Bride.”

“Masaya lang po kasi ako ngayon e. Passionate ka sa trabaho mo. Puro trabaho lang ho talaga ako recently e. So, malayo yung iniisip ko. Nasa trabaho,” Garcia added.

While he has kept mum about the recent issue, Garcia did not fail to show support to Barretto.

“Malalampasan mo ‘yan,” Garcia’s message to Barretto read, as shared by the latter over her Instagram account.

“I know you, you’re the strongest girl na nakilala ko. Takot nga ako sa iyo eh,” he added.

Barretto and Anderson recently made headlines after they were supposedly spotted by a fan at the birthday part of actor Rayver Cruz.

This fueled breakup rumors between Anderson and girlfriend Bea Alonzo who shared a cryptic message saying one “can’t make the same mistake twice.”
