P-pop idol BINI Maloi has dismissed the rumors romantically linking her to OPM singer-songwriter Rico Blanco.
This comes after a video went viral on social media showing the two artists crossing a street in La Union, sparking speculation about a possible relationship.
“STOP SPREADING FAKE NEWS. (PLEASE) LANG,” the “Pantropiko” singer wrote on X, calling out a national media outlet after publishing an article that fueled the rumors.
The article, which Maloi reposted, was deleted on X but has since been updated on the media outlet’s website as of 1:54 PM, Philippine time.
