Rayver thinks Derek can take care of Cristine
Even before news of their romance broke out, Derek Ramsay and Cristine Reyes already have Rayver Cruz's blessing.
"Walang kaso sa akin. Alam ko na magkaibigan sila, pero kung if ever na mag-end up sila together, bakit naman hindi? Derek is a decent guy, mabait siyang tao. Alam kong maaalagaan niya si AA (Cristine), siyempre napakamatured niyang tao,” Rayver, Cristine's ex-boyfriend said, during the press conference of "Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin" on August 28, a day before Derek admitted that he and Cristine are officially a couple.
Rayver insists he and Derek are in good terms. In fact, both actors will play basketball at Gerald Anderson’s Hero Ball on Sunday, September 1.
“Mahirap i-control, mahirap pigilan sa mundo natin kasi napakaliit ng mundo natin. Kahit naman ako, mahirap mapipigilan na magkagusto sa isang tao na past pala ng kaibigan ko. Wala namang kaso doon, basta wala ka lang tinatapakan at sinasagasaan,” Rayver said.

On being single
Rayver and Cristine, who have remained friends, don’t have any qualms about working together in “Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin” because their decision to breakup was mutual.
“Iyon nga 'yung pinagtataka ng mga tao na yung breakup maayos. Unang-una sa lahat, wala naman kasing third party. Mutual naman yung decision na hindi na talaga magwowork. Sinet namin yung priorities namin sa buhay. Nagkasundo naman kami, sabi naman namin na andito kami sa bawat isa. Magkaibigan pa rin tayo,” he said.
While Cristine has found a new love, Rayver still remains single. He denied courting anyone right now, including Bb. Pilipinas bet Imee Hart.
“I’m going out, pero with friends. Hindi particularly dating. Hindi ko masasabing I’m dating kasi hindi pa rin ako nasa stage na parang gusto kong manligaw. Nag-e-enjoy ako na single ako, na tuluy-tuloy ang blessings. Nakaka-focus ako sa trabaho ko. Happy muna ako na ganito.”
“Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin,” which also stars Gerald Anderson, Dina Bonnevie, Dawn Zulueta, Tonton Gutierrez and Diana Zubiri premieres on September 2.
