In this Corner of the Universe-Polo avoiding Ara Mina, Mark Bautista

Polo when interrogated attached to a lie-detector-test machines shared the story behind the break-up with Ara Mina and his alleged snubbing of Mark Bautista.

Here's the news:



Wired to a lie detector machine, Polo Ravales revealed how his eventual breakup with ex-girlfriend Ara Mina transpired.


"Nag-start siya sa cool-off, e. Hindi na namin naayos," Polo confided to Showbiz Central host John "Sweet" Lapus, yesterday, October 28.

Despite the fact that the relationship had long been over, both Polo and Ara are consistently bugged by questions regarding the past.

There were also reports saying that the former lovers were avoiding each other during social functions. Ara also flashed displays of irritability regarding the issue, the same talks said.

Polo tries to be cool every time the entertainment press asks him about Ara and their failed romance.

"I have nothing against her," answered the young actor for the nth time, "and wala naman akong reason para umiwas."

To prove his point, Polo said that he and Ara cordially greeted each other last September 16, at the Rampa for a Cause event held in Rockwell.

"Nag-beso kami nung Ramp[a] for a Cause ni Ms. Annabelle Rama. Nilapitan ko siya, nag-kiss ako sa kanya, ganun," said Polo.

SNUBBING MARK BAUTISTA? Polo has been suspected of ignoring young singer Mark Bautista every time their paths cross.

Incidentally, Rizza was said to be the main reason why Ara and Polo's post-breakup friendship turned sour. Rizza is a close friend of Polo's younger sister Ashley Gruenberg.

Reports said that Ashley brought along the beauty queen to the set of Lupin, where both Polo and Ara were cast members.

Ara was reportedly slighted by the sight of the woman who was being touted as the new love interest of her ex-beau
