The two female singers were both finalists on the ABS-CBN reality talent show “Star Power,” where Quinto emerged victorious. The show, which aired in 2010, was co-hosted by Santos along with Sharon Cuneta and Christian Bautista.
Speaking on “Kris TV” where both of them were guests on Tuesday, Santos shared that Quinto did not talk to him for days because of the incident.
“Grabe pala magtampo ‘to, one week. Kasi nag-party ako, in-invite ko 'yung mga close friends ko. Hindi siya naka-attend kasi may shooting yata siya or taping. In-invite ko lahat ng close friends ko. Meron akong na-invite na hindi niya type na nandoon,” he said.
Although he did not mention Rivera initially, host Kris Aquino urged Santos to reveal who he was referring to. He then confirmed that it was Rivera, with whom he reportedly had a crush on in the past.
Speaking in her defense, Quinto said: “Hindi naman po sa hindi type. Hindi ko naman kasi alam na nandoon.”
“May nag-send po sa akin ng picture nila. Sobra po [silang sweet]. Nung na-receive ko po ‘yung picture na ’yun, out of town ako. Sinend ko sa kanya ‘yung picture. Tapos sabi ko, ‘Ang sweet niyo naman.’ Medyo magkayakap na ng kaunti,” she recalled.
Asked how he wooed Quinto after she got jealous, Santos said: “Every day tinetext ko siya kahit hindi sumsagot, hindi ko siya tinitigilan. Pumunta kami sa US, hindi kami magkatabi sa bus.”
According to Quinto, it was only during Santos’ actual birthday when she decided to patch things up with the singer.
“Kasi nakunsensya din ako noon. So nung araw na birthday niya sa US, ako 'yung nagbigay ng cake sa kanya. Sinabihan ko 'yung mga kasama ko na, ‘Birthday na ni Erik ngayon sa Pilipinas, kantahan naman natin siya,’” she said.
Santos, for his part, shared that Quinto’s gesture brought him to tears. “Naiyak ako kasi pinansin na niya ako. Kasi ang hirap na one week kang hindi pinapansin.”
