Singer-songwriter JK Labajo’s girlfriend, Dia Mate, has broken her silence and firmly denied rumors surrounding an alleged altercation involving JK and fellow actor Kyle Echarri.

The controversy began when veteran entertainment columnist Cristy Fermin, on her show Cristy Ferminute, cited an unnamed source who claimed there was a heated moment involving Daniel Padilla, Kyle Echarri, JK Labajo, and Richard Gutierrez. The source alleged that Daniel and Kyle had a serious conversation, while JK and Richard were also reportedly drawn into the situation.
Fermin, however, clarified that she did not witness the incident firsthand and was merely relaying what she was told.
Despite the buzz generated by the report, none of the involved celebrities—Kyle Echarri, Daniel Padilla, or Richard Gutierrez—have released any official statement to confirm or deny the claims.
Dia Mate, standing by JK Labajo, continues to dismiss the rumors as baseless and insists there is no truth to any of the accusations. Her statements have sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans praising her courage to speak out, while others remain curious about what really transpired at the star-studded event.
Until the personalities involved issue their own clarifications, the public can only speculate—but for Dia, the truth is clear, and she was there to see it.
