Here’s the Reason Herlene Budol Declines to Work W/ Rob Gomez
HERLENE BUDOL – Find out why actress-beauty queen Herlene Budol refuses to work with Kapuso actor Rob Gomez.
Actress and beauty queen Herlene Budol has made it clear that she has no interest in working with her former Magandang Dilag co-star, Rob Gomez, following the controversy that surrounded them in 2023.
During a guest appearance on the Your Honor vodcast, Budol openly shared her thoughts about the issue and why she has decided to distance herself from Gomez professionally.

The controversy in question stemmed from a leaked private conversation between Budol and Gomez, which became a hot topic among netizens last year. Although she did not go into detail, Budol expressed her disappointment over how the situation unfolded, stating that she felt left unprotected and unsupported during the ordeal.
During the Executive Whisper segment of the vodcast, host Buboy Villar asked Budol a direct question: “Sinong actor ang ayaw mo makatrabaho? Yung totoo.” Without hesitation, Budol named Gomez and explained her reasoning. “Yung nagka-issue nga last year. Tapos parang hindi lang ako napagtanggol. Siguro alam niya naman kung bakit ayaw ko na siya makatrabaho. Siguro, siya lang.” she said.
Budol further elaborated on her decision, revealing that she believes the feeling might be mutual. “Pero kung siya ‘yung tatanungin. Feeling ko rin ayaw din naman niya ako [maka-trabaho]. Iwas-gulo lang din. Para iwas issue parang pagod! Pagod na pagod din talaga ako sa mga binabatong hindi naman talaga [din totoo]” she admitted.
Despite the hurt she experienced, Budol clarified that she harbors no ill will towards Gomez. Instead, she emphasized the importance of maintaining peace for everyone involved. “Alam mo ‘yun ang hirap ipagtanggol ng sarili mo. Tapos wala pa nagtatanggol sa’yo. Kaya nilulunok ko na lang lahat ng mga masasakit na salita… No hate ako sa kanya, basta siguro para lang sa ikakatahimik ng lahat,” she concluded.
