She was merged with other contestants to form the girl group AKA Jam, which, despite losing in "The X Factor," has remained active through performances on local TV.
Mom's disapproval
In May, first reports of Quijano and Pempengco's relationship surfaced, with the two rumored to have eloped. However, this was denied by Pempengco when she first admitted her sexual preference on "The Buzz" early this month.
"Bago po ako mag-come out, kinausap ko po siya," Pempengco told "Showbiz Inside Report," referring to Quijano.
"Ilang beses ko po tinanong sa kanya 'yan. 'Sure ka? Kasi ayoko maging selfish na ako lang 'yung ready.' Dahil siyempre po, since love ko siya, gusto ko rin pong protektahan kung ano 'yung meron siya," Pempengco said.
She added: "Tinanong ko siya nang ilang beses. Pinanghahawakan ko lang 'yung sinabi niya sa akin na, 'Oo, ready ako.'"
Since Pempengco's emotional interview on "The Buzz," both she and Quijano have been open about their relationship, with the latter admitting that they even have a "promise ring."
