A picture of King of Revival Jojo Mendrez and 'Starstruck' alumnus Rainier Castillo surfaced on social media showing them at a casino.

Jojo was previously linked to fellow Starstruck alumnus Mark Herras after they were spotted together at a casino in February. Jojo has slammed a malicious post that linked him to Mark.

A statement issued by Aqueous Entertainment, the talent agency that handles Jojo, said Mark and Jojo are good friends.

In the most recent buzz circulating around town, Jojo chose to stay silent, not divulging any details about the situation. Whispers of speculation and curiosity grew among those eager to learn more, yet Jojo maintained an enigmatic presence, leaving everyone hanging on the edge of their seats.

During a press conference, Jojo was surprised when Mark handed him flowers while he was performing "Nandito Lang Ako" on stage. 

In a heartfelt Facebook post, renowned entertainment columnist Jobert Sucaldito publicly declared his unwavering support for his longtime friend, Jojo. He reflected on their enduring friendship, emphasizing Jojo's resilience and dedication in facing challenges. 

"Para kanino ba talaga itong 'Nandito Lang Ako' song? Para kay Mark ba o kay Rainier? Whew! Mapapa-SANAOL ka na lang talaga eh. Ikaw lang talaga anak Jojo. Well, nandito lang ako para suportahan ka - whether sa kanta or lovelife mo. Hehehe!" (Who is the 'Nandito Lang Ako' song really for? Is it for Mark or Rainier? Whew! Well, I'm just here to support you - whether in your song or your love life. Hehehe!)" wrote Jobert.
