When Barangay Ginebra star Scottie Thompson shared a moment with his wife Jinky Serrano upon receiving the Finals MVP award, netizens couldn’t help but to bring up his ex-fiance Pau Fajardo.

After all, Pau was there when Thompson was named as 2019 Finals MVP.

To recall, Thompson and Fajardo got engaged on New Year’s Eve 2021 only for them to break up on April on the same year.

Two months later, news broke out that Thompson and Serrano have already eloped.

Fajardo admitted on Pep.ph that she still hasn’t forgiven the PBA cager.

“Kailangan [hintayin ‘yung right time] kasi what happened is hindi ganun kadali,” she said.

Despite the pain and trauma, Fajardo began to learn how to love herself and she is still in the process of moving on.

“Phase ‘yun ng buhay natin eh, mararanasan at mararanasan talaga. Nasa tao kung paano nila tutulungan din ang sarili nila. Hindi puwedeng dumepende ka sa ibang tao. Nasa sarili mo lang,” saad ni Pau.

“I’ve learned na aside from loving that person, you have to love yourself talaga. Mas mag-invest ka sa sarili mo rather than investing to other people. Hindi mo alam kung nandiyan pa rin ‘yung talagang inalalayan mo.”
