ACTOR Ejay Falcon takes all the blame on his short-lived romance with former “Dugong Buhay” co-star Yam Concepcion.
In a recent interview, Falcon admitted that he initiated the break-up, saying he had a hard time balancing his showbiz career, family and love life.
The relationship lasted for five months.
“Nung time na ‘yun may pagkakamali talaga ako and nakapag-usap na kami. Tinawagan ko siya dahil alam kong may pagkakamali talaga ako and sa pagkakamali na ‘yun, natututo ka naman talaga. Sa pagkakamali na ‘yun pareho kaming natuto na wag padalos-dalos kasi masyado talagang mabilis ang mga nangyari sa amin.”
Falcon said he explained to Concepcion his decision to end the relationship. He said he approached his ex-girlfriend and the actress was kind enough to hear his explanation.
Afterwards, the actor said they just laugh about it and moved on.
“Nag explain ako sa kanya kung bakit nagkaganun, sinabi ko sa kanya lahat. Nagtawanan na lang kami, okay na kami. Maayos na. Nung time na yun kasi, after ‘Dugong Buhay,’ umuwi ako ng Mindoro and nakita ko yung family ko. And nakita ko na marami pa akong obligasyon sa kanila.”
“Priority ko talaga yung trabaho ko and yung pamilya ko. Kung may darating man, masasabi ko na natuto na ako doon sa pinagdaanan namin.”
He also clarified that religion was not a factor in the breakup.
“Hindi ‘yun (religion) ang pinakamain reason at yung family ko talaga. Pero alam ko na magiging dahilan din ‘yun. Sana meron din (ako makilala na same religion).”
When asked about his learnings on his failed relationship, Falcon vowed to be more truthful to the public on his next time around.
“Kung sino man ang magiging next girlfriend ko or magkakabalikan kami, aaminin ko na talaga. Makikita na ninyo kami.”
The actor will appear this Saturday in drama anthology “Maalaala Mo Kaya” (MMK) as he takes on the role of Jomar, an inmate in Tacloban who did his best to save his family during the onslaught of Supertyphoon Yolanda.
The special episode will also feature performances from Sharmaine Arnaiz, Boom Labrusca, Art Acuna, and Lito Pimentel.
Directed by Garry Fernando and written by Joan Habana and Arah Jell Badayos, the episode will air on Saturday after “Home Sweetie Home”. (Sunnex)
