Amid the issue he faced, basketball player Marc Pingris proved to the public that he was a family man.
Marc shared some photos taken during their family outing in Pangasinan in his social media posts.
Marc’s wife, Danica Sotto-Pingris, and their children, Jean Michel, Anielle Micaela, and Jean-Luc, were all present during the outing.
Some relatives were also present during the vacation.
It can be recalled that Marc faced one of the biggest issues after he was linked to actress Kim Rodriguez.
The rumors started when some netizens noticed that Marc and Kim were spotted in the same place they had visited separately several times.
Before going on vacation with his family, Marc shared a statement to clarify that he had no connections with Kim.
“Walang katotohanan ang mga lumalabas na balita tungkol sa amin ni Ms. Kim Rodriguez. Walang namamagitan sa aming dalawa gaya ng sinasabi ng ibang tao. Nakasama ko po si Ms. Kim sa isang basketball event at sa isa pang event noong naging muse siya ng team namin,” said Marc.
“Salamat din sa nag pa abot ng concern. Ok kami ng pamilya ko. Wag na po tayo magpakalat ng mga balita na hindi totoo. Humihingi po kami ng respeto para hindi madamay ang mga anak namin ni Danica. Salamat po at God bless po,” he added.
Kim also denied that she has any close ties with Marc.
Marc’s wife, Danica, seemed to ignore the issue.
