LOOK: Bianca Manalo shares Japan trip amid alleged cheating controversy
Bianca Manalo is all smiles in recently shared snaps from her Japan trip with family.
In a series of Instagram stories posted on Wednesday, Dec. 20, the actress-beauty queen shared glimpses of her Japan trip with her family.
The Magandang Dilag actress first shared a photo with her mom, Norma, and followed by a photo of her relatives, seemingly taken inside a Narita Express train. She also shared a mirror selfie of herself wearing a fleece, turtleneck jacket with a black and white print.
She also posted a random snap of a street in Japan, as well as group photos with her relatives/colleagues.
The beauty queen first posted about her Japan trip on Dec. 10, sharing their advance family Christmas party since they will spend the holidays overseas.
This comes a day after she got entangled in an alleged cheating controversy with co-star Rob Gomez. Early before her Japan updates, the Facebook and Instagram pages of Gomez mostly showed screenshots of his supposed conversations with Herlene Budol, with whom he appeared to have an intimate affair. It is unknown, however, if the images were edited or tampered with in some way.
Gomez's alleged conversation with Budol, his co-star in the television series Magandang Dilag, implied that the two had a sexual encounter with each other.
Aside from Budol, Gomez also allegedly planned to hang out with Manalo in secret, as implied in their alleged exchange on Instagram and Telegram.
“You didn’t reply on Telegram. Meron ka na naman na pick-up na ibang girl noh,” Manalo’s supposed message for Gomez read.
In another alleged conversation, Manalo’s text read, “Kaya mo pumunta that early? 7 am? Brought my dogs here sa Makati. Let me know para I can go back to BGC early to see you before I leave at 10 am.”
“He’s not here. He’s in Valenzuela,” she added.
Manalo has been in a longtime relationship with Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian. The two became tight-lipped about their romance until November 2019, when they celebrated their first anniversary together.
Neither Gomez, Budol, nor Manalo have commented on their alleged leaked conversations.
Manalo won the Binibining Pilipinas Universe in 2009. Since then, she has taken a career in acting. She has appeared in movies and series Magkaribal, On the Wings of Love, Beauty in a Bottle, and more.
One of her latest projects is GMA 7’s Magandang Dilag, in which she co-stars Budol and Gomez.
