Jennings admitted that the experience was difficult but said he had no choice but to move forward.
“Siyempre ako okay naman na ako. Naka-move on na ako sa nangyari na ‘yun. And I think yeah, ‘yung buhay tuloy-tuloy lang. You gotta live because you have bills to pay,” he said.

“Siyempre papasok sa utak mo ‘yun. Andun ka sa sitwasyon na nandon ka na eh [sa peak ng career]. Then suddenly, daming nawala sa’yo. But it’s okay. Alam ko naman kung ano ‘yung ginawa ko,” he said.
Despite the setback, Jennings said he is now in a better place professionally.
“I’m slowly picking up right now. Ngayon naman okay naman eh. I have tapings, I have work. I’m still doing my best. And kailangan kong maging magaling din,” he shared.
“Kasi it’s not about me, it’s about the audience — ano ‘yung gusto nilang makita," he added.
He also confirmed that all parties involved have already moved on from the issue.
“Yeah. Okay na kaming lahat. Everyone is okay now. Everyone is past that now. Pinagsisihan ko naman ‘yung mga bagay-bagay,” he said.
Reflecting on his journey, Jennings said he faced the situation head-on because there was no escaping it.
“Hindi mo matatakasan ‘yun. Kaya nga ang buhay may pagbabago ‘di ba? We learn new stuff, we change,” he explained.
He admitted that regrets were part of the process, but said they helped him grow as a person.
“May mga regrets ka talaga na ‘di mo na mababalikan pero part ng buhay mo ‘yun eh. Du’n ka mag-gu-grow, di ba?” he noted, adding that although the experience affected his mental health, he is grateful to have moved past it.

In a previous post on social media, Maris also elicited praises from many of her followers. Her post, consisting of a couple of photos and a simple caption, immediately captured the attention of her fans. In the photos, the actress can be seen sporting a glamorous look with a cool outfit. Maris is one of the cast of the hit series “Incognito,” where she portrays the character of “Gabriela Rivera” or “Gab.”
In a related post, showbiz reporter and talent manager Ogie Diaz said he heard that Maris and Anthony Jennings no longer appear to be awkward with each other now at the set of the hit series, “Incognito.” It will be recalled that the issue between the two startled the public after Anthony's ex-girlfriend allegedly released their supposed conversations with Maris. Because of this, 'MaThon' was unable to participate in the promotion of the film 'And the breadwinner is,' and took a brief break from the public eye. But now, their series 'Incognito' is thriving, and the two are reportedly receiving praise for their excellent portrayal of their respective characters.
