Multi-awarded actress Ara Mina is fed up with talks linking her to boxer Manny Pacquiao, the latest of which is their alleged tryst at a five-story hotel in Malate, Manila.

This is according to one of Ara’s publicists, Chuck Gomez, whom Manila Bulletin Online recently talked to.

Chuck quoted Ara as saying: “Enough, ayoko na!”

He added: “Hindi daw true [ang balita]. Meron na s’yang boyfriend na non-showbiz na in fairness ay pagkagwapo-gwapo. Masayang-masaya si Ara sa boyfriend n’ya. She has finally met someone who really loves and respects her. Kaya nga ayaw n’ya ng ganyang mga klaseng intriga dahil she respects her boyfriend and his family so much.”

Chuck said Ara believes that some people are just out to destroy her because she is running for councilor in Quezon City in next year’s national elections.

“Since wala nga kasing masabing negative kay Ara, pilit nagkalkal na lang ng imbento. Pag-usapan na lang daw ‘yung mga leading ladies [ni Manny] ngayon. Bakit daw ba pilit silang iiintriga ni Manny eh ang tagal-tagal na nung ginawa nilang pelikula?” Chuck pointed out.

Ara started getting romantically linked to Manny when they starred in “Anak ng Kumander,” an entry to last year’s Metro Manila Film Festival.

Ara was rumored to have been given a new house and a luxury vehicle by Manny, which in turn incensed his wife Jinkee..

Ara and Manny have been consistent in denying their alleged affair but rumors persisted nonetheless.

“Pagod na si Ara sa ganyang mga intriga,” Chuck maintained. “She just wants to focus on her work. At hindi niya kailangan ng kahit sino’ng lalaki para magka-pera o pagka-perahan. She has her savings and she is hardworking. Kaya niyang kumita—at kumikita siya!”

“Ako na lang kamo ang i-link kay Pacquiao,” he added in jest. “Malay mo, sa ganda kong ‘to ay magustuhan niya ako ‘pag nakita niya ako. Anytime kamo, papayag akong mag-boxing kami.”
