Black Eyed Peas’ Allan Pineda and Jasmine: Are they or aren’t they?

Jasmine Trias has been coming and going, guesting on TV shows, promoting her Universal Records album and doing concerts. After her commitments, Jasmine flies right back to Hawaii to rejoin her family.
This time, however, Jasmine seems to be staying longer than she should. What gives?
According to Funfare’s "elegant and pleasant" DPA, the reason has something to do with "the heart." Yes, the DPA insists, "Jasmine may be in love."
Does Jasmine’s "object of affection" happen to be L.A.-bred Kris Lawrence, winner of the ABS-CBN talent search Star in a Million?
Guess again.
It’s true that Kris seemed to have been smitten by Jasmine when they had a show in Japan, so "badly smitten," as the DPA puts it, that from L.A. where Kris proceeded after the Japan show, he made a stopover in Hawaii to visit Jasmine on his way back to the Philippines.
"Nothing serious, though," Jasmine was overheard saying, but she was speaking only for herself. But Kris is said to feel "more seriously" for Jasmine than the other way around.
So, who then is the guy making Jasmine’s heart beat faster?
Well, as the title of today’s Funfare bluntly hinted at, he’s none other than Allan Pineda, a.k.a. Apl.de.ap, the Pinoy member of Black Eyed Peas which is coming for a concert at the Araneta Coliseum next Thursday, July 27.
"That’s why Jasmine has decided to stay longer," says the "elegant/pleasant" DPA. "She wants to be here when the Black Eyed Peas arrive. I guess she and Allan Pineda have been communicating regularly."
According to the DPA, Jasmine and Allan met in L.A. during the shooting of the music video for Bebot, a Tagalog song sung by Allan for the Black Eyed Peas album. Jasmine was a guest on that music video. I’m sure their "Filipino-ness" has something to do with their instant closeness.
At the Araneta Coliseum, Jasmine will for sure sit at the front row to give Allan moral support. If Allan sings Bebot, you know who he’ll be dedicating it to.
"Bagay sila, di ba?" says the DPA.
I agree. Don’t you?

Just yesterday, Jasmine and Kris Lawrence appeared on "The Buzz" in the Philippines to say they are "special friends" and today they are reporting that Jasmine and APL might have something going on. So this should be intersting, the tabloids are going to have a field day over there for sure.
