MANILA, Philippines - Carla Abellana wants the past to stay in the past, at least when it comes to the recently-reported past "fling" between rumored boyfriend Tom Rodriguez and Cai Cortez.
Cai revealed in a recent interview with Mo Twister's podcast show "Good Times With Mo" that she had slept before with Tom.
"That's between the two of them," Carla replied when asked to react about the issue, in an interview on Thursday when she was launched as an endorser of ATC's Vita-E product.
"Hindi naman ako involved, that's something I have nothing to do with. Past na 'yon," she added.
She also said that she's not the type who prys on people's past relationships.
"Kasi past nila 'yan, e, hindi na dapat inuungkat pa," she explained. "Tapos na 'yon, past is past. You don't judge a person by his past."
Despite the issue, the Kapuso actress said she remains friends with Cai whom she has worked before in several projects.
She added that she's open to work with her again, which is inevitable in this industry.
"Pareho kaming nasa industriya, pareho kaming artista," she said about Cai. "With Tom, that's her past, wala naman akong magagawa doon."
Carla also pointed out that the issue didn't affect how she sees Tom at the present.
"Dapat lang din open-minded ka and in a way," she said. "Alam kong kapag ginawa mo lang siyang issue or pinalaki mo lang, ibabalik mo lang, waste of time. Ang importante 'yong today."
