LITO LAPID – Actor-politician Lito Lapid finally sets the record straight, addressing the rumors surrounding his rumored romance with Lorna Tolentino.
Reelectionist Senator and veteran actor Lito Lapid has finally addressed rumors linking him romantically to his FPJ’s Batang Quiapo co-star, Lorna Tolentino. In an interview with Pilipino Star Ngayon, Lapid denied any romantic involvement with the actress, putting an end to the speculation.
Lapid, who has been in show business for decades, expressed gratitude for the ongoing support he receives from fans despite his age. “Sa showbiz, siguro ako na ang pinakamatandang may ka-loveteam. Mabuti tinatanggap pa ‘ko, eh lolo na ‘ko, eh. Senior citizen na, tinatanggap pa rin na may ka-loveteam ako. Isang karangalan ‘yan,” he said.
The senator also reflected on his status as one of the last remaining veteran action stars in the industry. “Icon na nga ako pagkatapos ni Eddie Garcia, eh. Pagkatapos ni Eddie Garcia, ako na ang pinakamatandang action star, kung tutuusin, 70 na po tayo at tinatangkilik pa rin,” he shared, acknowledging the enduring appeal of his love team with Tolentino.
Their on-screen chemistry, particularly as the characters Primo and Amanda in FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, has captured the hearts of viewers. “Parang ang tingin ko, teenager pa kami, ‘yung PrimAnda, ang lakas-lakas, laging pinag-uusapan. Nagpapasalamat din ako sa pamilya ko, naiintindihan nila ang trabaho ko,” he added, grateful for his family’s understanding of his career.
Lapid was candid about the true nature of his relationship with Tolentino, emphasizing their professional and platonic bond. “Si Lorna, single siya. Pwede siyang mag-boyfriend, pwede siyang mag-asawa. Eh ako, hindi na ako pwede. ‘Yung sa amin, kiliti na lang bilang love team. Kasi nga, may asawa ako, nakatali ako,” he clarified.
By addressing the rumors, Lapid reaffirmed his commitment to his wife and family while expressing pride in his work with Tolentino. For fans of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, the actor’s statement reinforces the magic of their on-screen partnership, a testament to their professionalism and talent.
