“We cherish every moment eh. Sobrang okay kasi kami eh. Sobrang click kami,” she said.

According to Garcia, she and Younghusband have actually known each other for two years now.

“Magkakaibigan ‘yung mga ex namin. Well siyempre kahit na nandiyan ‘yung mga ex namin nag-uusap na kami. Okay kami, naguusap kami but we never texted each other at that time until this year. So nagulat kami that we clicked so much,” she said.

Saying they have many things in common, Garcia said: “Sabi ko para kaming mag-best friends talaga eh. We can talk about anything under the sun. We can just keep on talking the whole day. As in. Of course with the company of his sister and our friends. Marami kaming common friends.”

Asked if things are okay between her and Angel Locsin, Garcia said, “Angel and I are friends and she’s happily with Luis [Manzano], who’s also my friend. Deadma. I don’t care.”

Younghusband and Locsin used to be in a relationship but they broke up late last year. The Kapamilya actress is now in a relationship with Manzano again, years after they first parted way.

It was recently reported that ABS-CBN earned the rights to Mars Ravelo's “Darna” character and Locsin has expressed interest in donning the two-piece sexy costume anew.

In a text message sent to ABS-CBNnews.com, Younghusband said he doesn’t know if the rumors of the supposed remake are true or not but he said, “It would be great to see Angel as Darna again.”

“I never got to see her play it the first time but people always tell me how popular it was when she played the role and it would be very exciting if she were to be Darna again,” Younghusband said.

Locsin first portrayed the fictional Filipina icon in 2005, before she became a Kapamilya.

Meanwhile, aside from seeing Locsin play the superheroine character again, Younghusband is also looking forward to the Azkals’ game against the Singapore national football team on November 15 in Cebu.

“Azkals training will start on the 9th, and leave for Cebu on the 12th. But I have training and UFL games with Meralco up until then,” he said.

Asked if he thinks they could win the upcoming match, Younghusband said: “We have confidence from our last game with them and it will be in Cebu in front of our own Filipino fans so we are looking forward to it. We will prepare to win the game and if we play as well as we did against them last time, then we have a very good chance.”
