Marco Gumabao opened up about the challenges and problems inside his circle of friends known as the Nguya Squad in a recent interview with Ogie Diaz. The candid conversation on Diaz’s vlog shed light on the actor’s reflections about his friends.

Along with Gumabao, the Nguya Squad includes Kathryn Bernardo, Daniel Padilla, Ria Atayde, Khalil Ramos, Gabbi Garcia, Patrick Sugui, Aerielle Garcia, Dominic Roque, Joe Vargas and Bianca Yanga.

Gumabao said that there had been problems inside the group, which resulted in some members going their separate ways.

“Ako kasi hindi ako nakikisama sa mga problema-problema ng mga kaibigan. Of course, nagkaroon ng falling out sa kanila. I mean, normal naman ata sa magkakaibigan ‘yun,” Gumabao shared.

Gumabao stressed that he doesn’t take sides and he doesn’t think it’s his place to publicly disclose the details, despite some miscommunications among his peers. “Pero ako sa totoo lang, hindi ako nakikialam sa kanila.”

He added: “It’s not also my position to talk about it. Pero hindi naman siya big deal na sobra pero nagka-falling out. For me, wala ako sa gulo na ’yun.”

He knew that his friends have their own feelings and emotions, so it’s hard for him to suggest how his buddies should react or respond to situations.

“May kanya-kanyang feelings ’yan. May kanya-kanyang feelings na may mga mahu-hurt, may masasaktan and you can’t tell people ‘huwag mong maramdaman ’yung feeling na ’yan kasi sila ’yun e,” Marco explained.

Gumabao is hoping to mend their relationships and find peace in the future despite the challenges.

“Sana magkaayos kasi hindi naman siya sikreto, ’di ba? Kumbaga, it’s an open secret na ganun. But yeah, for me, sana magkaayos lahat,” he concluded.
