Sound unethical but the PBA can gain new viewers going the showbiz route
In an interview with OneSports, Rain Or Shine ElastoPainters's Caelan Tiongson was asked about BINI Aiah, amid ongoing dating rumors linking the two romantically.
"I met her through a mutual friend, and she's a great person, but I'm not gonna speak on her personal life," Caelan said.
Caelan and Aiah are churchmates, and the basketball player mentioned that he loves BINI and their music. In another interview with vlogger OtitsTonio last December, Caelan also said his bias in BINI is Aiah.
Pinoys praised Caelan for respecting Aiah's privacy, saying fans should prioritize their idols' well-being over intrusive curiosity.
"It's great that celebrities are now keeping their private lives away from public eyes. They're getting paid to perform and make good music, selling their private lives are not part of their contracts," one netizen said.
Caelan is trying to be conservative with his answers. It looks like he got a heads-up from Aiah to answer the press questions discreetly
