John Lloyd Cruz met with ex-girlfriend Angelica Panganiban during a recent trip to Hong Kong.

Cruz made the admission during an interview on Wednesday for his upcoming movie "Just The 3 Of Us" with Jennylyn Mercado, which opens in theaters on April 27.

"If you are asking kung nagkita ba kami ni Angelica, yeah. Napakaliit ng Hong Kong. Hindi ko naman siya iniiwasan, hindi naman niya ako iniiwasan. Siguro nabibigyan lang ng malisya given the history pero nagkita lang kami -- like kung paano ko nakita si Kuya Aga (Muhlach), si Ate Charlene (Gonzales), si Ruffa (Gutierrez) din. May picture pa nga kami, nagkita-kita kam isa isang gallery," Cruz told ABS-CBN News and other reporters.

"Wala naman po tayong iniiwasan sa buhay. Life is too short para mayroon kang gustong iwasan na tao, especially kung may pinagsamahan kayo. Wouldn't you want na magkaroon ng time to catch up," he added.

Asked to comment on rumors that he and Panganiban never broke up and are just keeping their relationship away from the press, Cruz said: "Sana kaya naming sagutin ang gustong malaman ng iba pero parang it's almost impossible kasi it's too personal. Naiintindihan naman namin how public our lives are pero para na din po maprotektahan 'yung natitirang kaunti para sa amin, eh nahihirapan kami to go into details."

"Pero we always try our best na ibigay sa public, sa inyo, 'yung kaya namin, 'yung maibabahagi lang namin and we are always trying to be as honest as possible. Kasi after all napakaliit lang ng mundo natin, hindi ba? Kahit pumunta ka ng Hong Kong, kahit Zimbabwe pa hindi ba mayroong makakakita at makakakita sa iyo and I don't think I want to live my life that way na nagtatago ako or may gusto akong ilihim because I'm a very practical guy. What you see is what you get. Kung mayroon akong mahal I'm not going to go shouting it to the whole world pero hindi din ako magtatago," he said.

The actor stressed that what is important is that he and Panganiban have remained friends.

He also admitted that he is taking his time being single.

"Pwede naman po siyang tumibok (ang puso mo) na para sa sarili mo," he joked. "Seriously, it's one of greatest discoveries na pwede mong ma-experience and it makes me excited. Kasi ang akala natin ang mga single, ang bibigat ng buhay, ang lulungkot."

"Actually naa-excite ako because kapag dumating 'yung araw na 'yon at mangyari ang mga pinaggagawa ko sa pelikula, mga look of love at may makita kang babae, it makes me excited kasi napakaganda ng pwedeng mangyari. It's a great opportunity kapag galing ka sa ganito and you look forward to that moment. Kaya ako nae-excite," Cruz said.

Asked if it will take him a long time to fall in love again, Cruz said: "Wala pong makakapagsabi kaya siya nakaka-excite because of the fact na pwedeng makapagsabi sa iyo kung kailan 'yon."
