BACOLOD, Philippines – Curtains have closed on the relationship between Victorias City, Negros Occidental Mayor Javier Miguel “Javi” Benitez and actress Sue Ramirez. After photos and videos of Ramirez and actor Dominic Roque kissing and holding hands in a Siargao bar went viral, Benitez took to social media to confirm his breakup with Ramirez on Saturday, November 9. The 30-year-old mayor clarified that he and Ramirez had already split up four months ago.
But what Benitez confirmed Saturday was in stark contrast with his previous statement when he filed his certificate of candidacy for congressman of the 3rd district of Negros Occidental on October 6. When asked then about Ramirez’s absence and the current status of their relationship, he said their relationship remained strong and that Ramirez was just busy with her showbiz commitments. With the viral photos and videos of Ramirez and Roque, however, the former actor-turned-politician broke his silence and clarified the real score of his relationship with the actress.
Benitez said his five-year love affair with Ramirez was full of “smiles, laughter, and little joys.” He also clarified that there were no outside forces that led to their breakup, adding that there were “just two hearts finding their way together.” “Four months have passed since our paths quietly and respectfully went their separate ways.
