Seasoned actress Sylvia Sanchez reacted to the rumor that her daughter-in-law Phenomenal Star Maine Mendoza is “suplada” or “snobby.”

The couple has been generous enough to share glimpses of their married life on their social media pages. However, last July, rumors circulated that Maine and Arjo broke up and this received a reaction from Sylvia. The seasoned actress categorically denied the breakup rumors.

The seasoned actress stressed that her daughter-in-law is a shy person. “Kung alam lang nila. May mga nagsasabi sa ‘kin, suplada, hindi. ‘Wag n’yo i-judge ‘yung tao kasi nakita ko siya e, nag-usap kami,” she added.Sylvia said that when Maine visited their home for the first time, the latter spent about 15 minutes outside their house because she was too shy.

“Ako mismo, na-experience ko. Sabi, ‘Mommy, nahihiya pa, sandali lang.’ ‘Halika na, sige.’ Lumabas si Arjo, pagbalik niya, ako na sumalubong. ‘Hi, Maine!’ Niyakap ko na, sobrang lamig,” Sylvia Sanchez shared.
