Mccoy de Leon and Elisse Joson may have parted ways romantically, but their onscreen tambalan remains beloved as "McLisse." Not so long ago, they shared a couple of tender (and very real) moments while promoting their movie, "Sakaling Maging Tayo."
Things got emotional when Mccoy and Elisse were asked to recount their "firsts" and "lasts" during their time together as a couple. Although the two refused to get into the specifics of their break-up, the former PBB housemates have hinted in the past that their relationship had to end because of family issues from both sides.
In "Start It Up" and "Till The End," two online exclusives released on Black Sheep studios' Youtube channel, we catch a glimpse of the feelings that the two young stars may still have for each other.
Here are our favorite bittersweet moments, so get your #pokmaru hearts ready because things are about to get real:
