While they talk about taking their friendship to the next level, there’s just far more important things at the moment.

Morissette said that she has her career to take care of, while Marlo Mortel has his sick mother to prioritize. “And we respect that naman,” the singer acknowledged.

Morissette and Mortel are very close, but both have maintained that they are just good friends.

“Hindi naman po niya ako pinaasa kasi we’re very clear kung saan kami lulugar in each other’s lives,” Morissette said.

“And because we’re close friends, we’re very open. We even talk about iyong mga relationships, mga past namin.

“And iyon, hindi pa talaga siguro panahon for us. Pero we remain good friends, we still hang out when we have time, and we help each other out,” she added.

Morissette is one of the guest performers at Mortel’s upcoming concert. Proceeds will go straight to paying for the medical fees of Mortel’s mother, who is battling breast cancer.

Titled “Songs for Mama,” it will be held on October 13 at Centris, Quezon City and will also feature special guests Jed Madela, Janella Salvador, Maymay Entrata, Kisses Delavin, and Michael Pangilinan. (MNS)

Pinapaasa mo lang ba si Morissette? Marlo Mortel asked

Marlo Mortel (MNS photo) They’ve been romantically linked with each other for a while now. So you can’t really fault fans for thinking that the reason why they’re not a couple yet is because someone’s just leading the other person on. But that’s not the case with him and Morissette, explained Marlo Mortel. “Hindi lang talaga perfect [iyong] timing,” he said, adding that his priority at the moment is his mother’s battle with Stage 4 breast cancer. “Never kong pinaasa si Morissette.” “Sa ngayon, since ang dami kasing nangyayari doon sa family, parang hindi ko pa kaya—hindi naman sa hindi [ko kayang] mag-effort, pero focus talaga muna talaga sa family,” he added. Rumors between the two began when Mortel asked Morissette to be his date for last year’s Star Magic Ball. Mortel was on the late-night talk show to promote an upcoming benefit concert he organized with the help of some friends. All proceeds from the gig will go straight to paying for his mother’s medical fees. Titled “Songs for Mama,” it will be held on October 13 at Centris, Quezon City and will feature performances from him and special guests Jed Madela, Janella Salvador, Maymay Entrata, Kisses Delavin, Michael Pangilinan and Morisette.  (MNS)
