Long before their lives took different directions, Jericho Rosales and Kristine Hermosa were among Philippine showbiz’s most memorable romantic pairings, both on and off screen.

Interest in their past relationship has resurfaced following renewed attention on Jericho’s connections with his former leading ladies. Among the memories being revisited is the story behind his song “Pusong Ligaw,” which the actor previously acknowledged was inspired by Kristine.

Their romance became particularly meaningful for Kristine, who revealed in a 2009 interview that Jericho was her first love. Although their relationship eventually ended, she shared that someone who once became an important part of her life would naturally continue to hold a special place in her memories.

Years have passed and both stars have moved forward with their respective lives, but their chapter together remains part of Philippine entertainment history. For longtime followers, “Pusong Ligaw” continues to bring back memories of a love story that once captivated audiences beyond the television screen.
