Pinabulaanan ni Beauty Queen at Los Banos, Laguna Councilor Leren Mae Bautista ang usap-usapang mayroon siyang “romantic involvement” sa basketball player na si Ricci Rivero.

Sa isang opisyal na pahayag ni Bautista na inilabas sa kaniyang social media account nitong Lunes, Hunyo 12, binigyang-diin niya na walang batayan at pawang kasinungalingan lamang ang kumakalat online na romantic involvement niya kay Ricci.

“Councilor Leren Mae Bautista has dedicated herself to serving the community of Los Banos with utmost sincerity and integrity. Her commitment to public service has been shaped by the support and trust of the people she represents,” pahayag ni Bautista.

Ang nangyaring outreach activity na nilahukan niya kamakailan kasama si Ricci ay hindi umano indikasyon ng isang “romantic relationship” sa pagitan nilang dalawa.

“The event was organized as part of Councilor Leren’s ongoing efforts to serve the people and contribute to the welfare of her community,” ani Bautista.

“The video that went viral, depicting Ricci’s belated celebration with his friends,  whom numerous other individuals joined, was taken down due to concerns about potential misinterpretation by viewers,” saad pa niya.

Matatandaang kamakailan lamang ay naglabas ng nag-tweet si Ricci na tila nagkukumpirma umano ng hiwalayan nila ng aktres na si Andre Brillantes.

Pinaratangan naman sa social media si Bautista na sangkot umano sa nasabing hiwalayan ng dalawa.

“We encourage everyone to refrain from creating malicious and insinuating comments on social media. Likewise, we call on everyone to understand the importance of fact-checking information shared across various internet platforms,” ani Bautista.
