She wrote: “Derek Ramsay has a GMA NETWORK contract. Mahaba ang partnership nila ng QUANTUM FILMS, in fact for Atty Joji he’s like a son. This led to arguments between Atty Joji & myself because I felt like the “AMPON” since many adjustments were being made for @ramsayderek07.”
“Derek and I have spoken. We go way back, 2004-2005 when we did our San Miguel Beer TVC. Nagkasagutan pero dahil may pinagsamahan- nagkaunawaan. I respect that he has a GMA network contract that should be his top priority. CHILL kami,” she added.
Kris also extended her thanks to Gabby and manager Popoy Caritativo for their willingness to do the MMFF movie, saying: “We owe @popoycaritativo and @concepciongabby BIG TIME. MMFF rules state change of lead stars should be of equal status. Had Gabby said NO, wala nang movie, goodbye sa MMFF bond, sa preprod cost, sa mga downpayment etc. From my whole heart THANK YOU. ❤️”
Kris however revealed that she reached out to Herbert Bautista and invited him to portray a ‘special role’ but the former mayor had turned down her invitation.
“Nagkamali ako. I was asked to communicate with Herbert Bautista for a SPECIAL PARTICIPATION role. Siempre while studying the script and the role, nakita nya may negative comments na about him in my feed. 2nd insensitive ako, i sent a script containing a love scene between man & wife, Clark (Gabby) and Grace (Kris). In my mind, friends na kami pero totoo naman, sa isip nyo sya ang huli nyong alam na naging ‘boyfriend’ ko. Hindi naman kayo witness sa naging magandang CLOSURE namin at hindi nyo alam na we openly share how proud we are about our respective children’s achievements,” Kris shared.
Kris then revealed that she and Herbert are not in good terms now but hopes that they they could be friends again.
“Kung alam ninyo yun, no issue. But we chose to protect the friendship by keeping details private. Kaya nung nag NO sya because he didn’t want to be part of the ‘gulo’, una na hurt at nagalit ako. Pero after praying, i understood. Nilagay ko ang sarili ko in his place. Kaya alam ko, i was asking for much. We’re not okay now, but hopefully in time we can be friends again,” she wrote.
