Unfazed by the intense internet drama, Queenay graciously handled the situation with maturity. She frankly admitted that she is well aware of the viral issue, sharing, "Actually yeah, nakita ko nga rin yan. And siyempre dumadaan din yan sa FYT ko."
Instead of jumping on the hate train, she made it incredibly clear that her high regard for Joshua is based purely on his exceptional acting talent and authentic character.
"So ako naman, siyempre ang paghanga ko naman sa kanya is bilang siya, hindi dahil sa kung anumang controversies ang nababato sa kanya o political side," she passionately explained to the press. "Siya ay hinahangaan ko bilang isang aktor, bilang siya mismo. So, yun lang po."
Aside from her unwavering support for her celebrity crush, the busy star also opened up about the current status of her own love life.
With her thriving YouTube channel, an exciting 2026 Cinemalaya Film Festival entry called "Kaka Sa Yawan," and an upcoming television series titled "A Secret In Prague" alongside prominent stars like Enrique and Andrea, she barely has a moment to breathe.
When playfully asked if she still has time for romance, she laughed it off. "May time pa ba ako sa lovelife? Parang wala. Wala na ho akong time sa lovelife," she confessed.
Even though she receives plenty of romantic attention, she remains incredibly driven. "Nanliligaw? Maraming nanliligaw pero medyo busy rin po talaga ako kaya hindi rin po ako ganu’n ka-focused talaga sa lovelife ngayon. Lalo na’t mas focused ako sa career and siyempre sa aking family," she added.
Fans are also buzzing about her undeniable on-screen chemistry with actor Mark Ian, her new co-star in the television series and their hosting gig on "Vibe+".
Queenay is absolutely thrilled about their tandem's positive reception. "Talaga? Okay naman ba? May chemistry. Sinasabi naman ng iba, may chemistry naman daw. And maganda yung tandem namin. So sana, sana. Sana magtuluy-tuloy itong aming tandem ni Mark Ian," she beamed, adding, "Kasi lalo na’t kung marami kaming napapasaya and at the same time, kung marami din naman ang sumu-support. Why not? Sana po, sana magtuluy-tuloy."

She went on to praise her on-screen partner's genuinely caring personality, comparing him to his extremely shy television character.
"Si Mark Ian talaga, to be honest talaga, sa personal, parang sobrang mahiyain po talaga siya. Parang medyo may side of pagka-Angelito talaga siya. Pero nakakatuwa naman kay Mark Ian, sobrang bait din niya talaga. And sobrang caring din niya talaga sa personal. So sabi ko nga, ‘Para ka ring si Angelito talaga in person!’" she noted.
Ultimately, her grounded perspective on both her booming career and her personal idols perfectly shows why millions of followers continue to support her journey.
Whether she is defending a fellow artist from brutal online scrutiny or building an exciting new love team, she constantly brings a refreshing and fiercely authentic energy to the entertainment industry!
Launching his career on the reality show Pinoy Big Brother, Joshua Garcia rapidly transformed into one of the Philippines' premier leading men. Initially capturing audiences with his emotional depth in romantic projects, the acclaimed actor has successfully broadened his range, taking on grittier, high-stakes action roles and deeply mature narratives.
In related news, veteran actor and politician Robin Padilla posted a nostalgic video snippet alongside Joshua across his verified Facebook page. Accompanying the short video upload, the seasoned star chose the brief yet memorable caption, "Unexpectedly yours!" The featured scene was pulled directly from Star Cinema's hit 2017 romantic-comedy movie, Unexpectedly Yours. Showing her warm support in the comment section, TV host Mariel Padilla responded to the social media post with three green heart emojis.
Also, ex-presidential spokesperson Harry Roque stepped forward to shield actor Joshua from online backlash concerning his perceived political alignment with Vice President Sara Duterte. The young leading man triggered intense social media discussions after re-sharing a video clip that viewers interpreted as an endorsement of the Vice President. Commending the star's willingness to embrace his views amid public scrutiny, Roque called on online detractors to immediately cease targeting the actor. Joining the wave of solidarity, Senator Robin Padilla backed the actor by resurfacing a highlight reel from their shared 2017 cinematic project.
