Actress and influencer Chie Filomeno has appealed for respect for her private life, following rumors linking her to Cebu businessman Matthew Lhuillier. “I’ve been reading and hearing a lot these past few days and I ask that my past relationship, my present life, and the Lhuillier family be left out of this issue. Filomeno further noted that she would not issue any additional statements, asking the public to stop speculating or intruding into her private affairs. I ask that my private life remain private,” she added. Neither Filomeno, Cuenca, nor Lhuillier have confirmed or denied the claims.
