‘No energy for hate’: Leren Bautista shares cryptic quote after Ricci Rivero’s ‘hard launch’ post
Leren Mae Bautista has no energy for hate in life.
The beauty queen-turned-politician, in her Instagram stories on Oct. 24, shared a cryptic quote from British lifestyle guru Jay Sherry days after Ricci Rivero confirmed their relationship.
“I have no energy for hate. I either love you, wish you well, or hope you heal,” the text read.
She didn’t add a caption or mention anyone.
In an Instagram post on Oct. 21, Rivero wrote a heartfelt letter about finding “the right one.”
"Hindi tayo magtatago dahil walang dapat ikahiya. Walang nang-agaw at walang inagaw,” he said. “Walang bibitaw dahil masaya tayong magkahawak kamay.”
He promised to “never again live a life manipulated by someone’s fantasy” without naming anyone.
Rivero’s previous relationship with actress Andrea Brillantes started in April 2022. They confirmed their breakup in June this year.
A month before that, Rivero spent his birthday with Bautista in Los Baños in Laguna, where she’s a councilor, and distributed food packs to constituents.
This sparked dating rumors between them, but Bausita denied this and said it was an outreach activity that’s “not an indication of a romantic relationship between them.”
In the coming weeks, Rivero and Bautista would be spotted together in several locations, holding hands in public, jogging in the park, and watching a basketball game.
