The Kapuso actor addressed the issue during his guest appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on Tuesday, August 4, after his statement on The People Have Spoken sparked conversations online.

His comment quickly drew attention, prompting Boy Abunda to ask whether he had personally proven that belief.
“The katanungan, napatunayan mo na ba?”
Ruru responded with complete honesty.
“I'm gonna be honest, Tito Boy, at ikaw naman 'yan, tayo-tayo lang naman ang nandito, yeah, napatunayan [na].”
The actor then revealed that he committed the mistake when he was only 20 years old. While he acknowledged his age at the time, he emphasized that being young was never an excuse for cheating.
Instead of shifting the blame, Ruru expressed deep gratitude to longtime girlfriend Bianca Umali for giving him another chance despite what happened.
He recalled that they broke up for eight months before eventually reconciling, describing that painful chapter as a blessing in disguise because it made him realize Bianca's true value in his life.
“Nag-break kami ng eight months, but now, eight years na po kami. Tinanggap niya po ako ulit. Kaya ko po sinasabi na kahit naman po sinong tao, pwedeng magbago, ano man pong klaseng pagkakamali 'yan, pwede pa rin pong magbago ang tao kasi, 'di ba, ang Diyos nga natin, marunong magpatawad.”

Although he believes in second chances, Ruru was equally firm that cheating is ultimately a decision made by the individual.
“Alam naman natin, sa industriya natin, Tito Boy, napakadali pong mag-cheat. Hindi lang naman po sa industriya natin, sa kahit na ano pong industriya, madali pong magkamali, e. Pero nasa sa 'yo na 'yun kung gusto mong magkamali.”
Looking back, the actor said Bianca's unconditional love remains one of the greatest blessings in his life. He shared that her forgiveness constantly reminds him of what he stands to lose and serves as his motivation to remain faithful.
“Hindi na 'ko makakahanap ng isang babaeng nagmahal sa 'kin ng katulad po ng pagmamahal na binibigay niya, so 'yun lang po. Kumbaga, habang-buhay kong panghahawakan 'yun at every time na makakaramdam ako ng mga temptasyon, mananalangin ako.”
Ruru's candid confession has since fueled discussions online, with many weighing in on whether people who commit infidelity can truly change through accountability, forgiveness, and personal growth.
