Many are hoping something romantic would develop between Joshua Garcia and Ivana Alawi.
It all started with Ivana admitting she has a huge crush on the actor.
Joshua on his part has acknowledged this, going on to relay his appreciation to Ivana.
But that's it.
Asked recently if he is making an effort to at least keep in touch with Ivana, Joshua shared, “‘Di pa kami nakakapag-usap ulit e."
He explained, "Usually kasi ang usap namin sa DM parang ano eh, like for example nabisita niya story ko, tapos nabisita ko story niya, tapos biglang nakaagaw ng atensyon ko, nakaagaw ng atensyon niya, mga ganoon (lang)."
Obviously, Julia Barretto's ex is not too keen on making their shippers happy.
In any case, Ivana continues to drop hints.
She told fans she is more than eager to "collaborate" with Joshua for a vlog.
Fans are now wondering why Joshua seems coy in pursuin Ivana?
Was he traumatized with what happened to him and Julia?
Or maybe Ivana is just too fortright for him?
And the waiting game continues.
