By REYMA BUAN-DEVEZA
abs-cbnNews.com For the first time, former Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Edition 2 housemate Jon Avila revealed that he was really hurt when actress-host Mariel Rodriguez told him that she likes actor-endorser Zanjoe Marudo more than him.
"Nasaktan medyo, siyempre naman," Avila said during a pictorial for his coming television series held inside the ABS-CBN compound Tuesday afternoon.
Dubbed as the "English Outcast," Avila, who is known to be shy as well as soft-spoken, admitted that he really felt bad. But for the aspiring actor, he said that this does not mean he feels rejected.
"Hindi rejected it was just a start of a potential relationship," Avila exclaims.
The Avila and Rodriguez "affair" started while they were inside "Kuya's" house. Their controversial "romance" was one of the items viewers loved to follow and watch.
When the PBB Celebrity Edition 2 series ended both of them became busy attending to their separate commitments like television guestings and product endorsements.
We're friends
Meanwhile, former Pinoy Big Brother house guest Mariel Rodriguez, in a separate interview, said that she is friend of Avila. And for her -- she really means it. "Actually honestly I think he is also busy with work. So lately we haven't talked. But we are not nemesis or anything. We are friends," Rodriguez told .
Mariel confirmed that she doesn't have any problem with Avila, while Avila said that a couple of weeks ago after the PBB series ended he and Rodriguez were still texting just to check on each other.
Rodriguez who is a regular host of daily afternoon show "Wowowee," and "Entertainment Live" is now also co-hosting Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus Uber.
Jon Avila or Jon Mullaly in real life started his career when he became the 2006 male winner of Century Tuna Super Body. He was born and raised in Stratford in London.
Ka Boom!
Avila aside from being busy doing endorsements will surprise and shock television viewers with his thunderous arrival as a superhero this April with his debut television show "Kapitan Boom!" He will be a superhero like no other and we will be amused by the mighty yet sometimes unlucky life of "Ka Boom!"
"Kapitan Boom!" was created by the father of Pinoy superheroes Mars Ravelo. The newest superhero show will be featured on ABS-CBN's weekly show "Komiks."
