Following their shocking revelations about their romantic feelings in the past, Yeng Constantino clarified that Ryan Bang was not the inspiration behind her hit song Chinito.
The two set the social media abuzz after their confessions about their “almost” relationship more than a decade ago–with Ryan assuming that Yeng had no interest in him, while the latter thought he already gave up waiting on him.
In the January 28 episode of It’s Showtime’s Tawg ng Tanghalan, Ryan revealed how he used to date Yeng in the past but put it to a stop after thinking that she was not into him.
Yeng, on the other hand, admitted that the move made her sad, but clarified that she never turned Ryan down.
Ryan then apologized for “ghosting” Yeng at the time and felt glad that they were able to talk over the matter and find closure after all those years.
Ryan and Yeng have since become a hot topic online, with some netizens thinking that Yeng’s popular song Chinito was about Ryan.
Yeng, however, made it clear that a song of hers took “hugot” from her dating experience with Ryan and it’s not Chinito.
“Actually po ang Chinito sumulat lalaki, si Jed Dumawal, ang aking kaibigan. Chinita ‘yan dati, nung narinig ko, sabi ko ‘ang ganda gusto kong kantahin’.Pero may isang song na medyo pinaghugutan talaga ng mga pinagdaanan namin (ni Ryan),” shared Yeng.
It’s Showtime co-hosts then urged Yeng to sing her song B.A.B.A.Y.
The song, which conveys the many ways of saying “goodbye” to someone instead of just disappearing, holds the lyrics:
Parang naglaho ang nakaraan
Pati lahat ng alaala
Pwede mo naman akong i-text
Pwede ka rin namang tumawag
Pwede rin namang ipasabi kay manong ogag
Pero bigla kang nawala
Para kang naging bula (plook)
‘Yun nawala
Bigla kang nawala
Sana nagpasabi ka man lang
Hindi gan’to wala akong alam
Ang dali kayang magsabi ng babay
Ang dali kayang magsabi ng babay
Ang dali kayang magsabi ng babay
B-A-B-A-Y
