Photo from Pacheco&#x27;s Facebook page</div>Internet personality Lars Pacheco, who gained popularity as a contestant in the &quot;Miss Q&amp;A&quot; segment of &quot;It&#x27;s Showtime,&quot; admitted Thursday that she cheated on her former boyfriend, Clyde Vivas, three times.Pacheco made the confession in a five-minute Facebook video, less than a day after announcing her split with Vivas, her boyfriend of seven years.In the video, she said she chose to speak out to immediately end speculations and address questions surrounding their breakup.Pacheco brought up three instances where she cheated on Vivas, beginning with an incident where she slept with a Taiwanese national whom she met while drinking with a friend in Makati.&quot;It happened because, of course, I chose it to happen,&quot; she said.<div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FPachecolars19%2Fvideos%2F2189696781534234%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="267" height="476" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>&quot;I acted like nothing happened. Sinundo niya pa ako. Hinanap niya pa ako.&quot;(I acted like nothing happened. He even picked me up. He even looked for me.)The second instance came while Pacheco was &quot;working out of town,&quot; where she met a guy whom she gave her number to.&quot;Out of nowhere, I just gave my number and then I told him na doon siya mag-contact because Clyde has access in my Instagram [account],&quot; Pacheco said.(Out of nowhere, I just gave him my number and told him to contact me there because Clyde had access to my Instagram account.)Pacheco said she and the man talked for a month but clarified that they never exchanged &quot;I love yous&quot; or engaged in intimate conversations.&quot;We don&#x27;t exchange intimate conversations. Every day for one month, it&#x27;s just, &#x27;Good morning,&#x27; &#x27;San ka na? &#x27;Nakauwi na ako.&#x27; You can just count the conversations that we have. And I don&#x27;t know, I&#x27;m falling in love with that man, with that guy,&quot; she recounted.Pacheco said she eventually developed feelings for the man she met at a bar, which she said played a major role in her decision to end her relationship with Vivas.&quot;Hindi ko sinasabi kasi proud ako, hindi ko rin alam kung ano ang nangyari, pero na-miss ko &#x27;yung pakiramdam na kiligin... Basta, I miss the feeling of being, you know, important to someone.&quot;Pacheco described the third incident as &quot;the worst,&quot; noting that she cannot &quot;forgive myself&quot; because Vivas himself even saw her off &quot;to meet someone.&quot;&quot;He&#x27;s from Portugal. And yeah, it happened. And then that made a decision, if I still love him, I wouldn&#x27;t do such things,&quot; she said.&quot;I take full accountability. I know, I did what I did. I&#x27;m not proud of it. And kung papatagalin ko pa relasyon namin, feeling ko, in the end, we will just be just f**ked up,&quot; she added.(And I feel like if I prolong our relationship, I feel like in the end, we will just be just f**ked up.)<div>Ex: Don&#x27;t &#x27;bash&#x27; Lars</div>In a video posted Thursday on his personal Facebook page, Vivas urged social media users to stop &quot;bashing&quot; or sending hateful messages to Pacheco.&quot;Huwag niyo nang i-bash si Lars kasi naaawa ako eh. Alam niyo &#x27;yon na, mayroon siguro siya talagang dinadalang problema na hindi ko alam. Huwag na natin siyang i-bash,&quot; he said in the 10-minute clip, where he also opened up about the split.(Please don&#x27;t bash Lars anymore because I feel sorry for him. You know, maybe she&#x27;s really going through some problems that I don&#x27;t know about. Let&#x27;s stop bashing her.)&quot;Guys, mas maganda kung suportahan na lang natin siya kung ano man desisyon niya sa buhay ngayon kasi ganoon na lang din gagawin ko.&quot;(Guys, it would be better if we just support her with whatever decision she makes in her life right now, because that&#x27;s what I&#x27;ll do as well.)At one point in the video, Vivas teared up as he admitted that he was hurt and that moving on from their long relationship was not easy.Despite their breakup, Vivas expressed gratitude to Pacheco, acknowledging that his social media supporters would not have known him if not for his ex.&quot;Sa loob ng seven years, ang dami ko ring natutunan sa kaniya talaga. Sobrang thankful ko dahil nakilala kita talaga,&quot; he said, apparently addressing Pacheco.(In those seven years, I really learned a lot from her. I&#x27;m so thankful that I met you.)&quot;Gusto ko lang din sabihin sa&#x27;yo... na mahal na mahal kita. Sobra. Mahal na mahal kita pero kailangan kitang i-let go,&quot; he added.(I also just want to tell you... that I love you so much. Very much. I love you so much but I have to let you go.)On Wednesday, Pacheco announced her break-up with Vivas by posting a black-and-white photo of themselves hugging, with the caption: &quot;7 years it was. No regrets just memories made.&quot;In the same post, she also wished her former partner &quot;healing&quot; and herself &quot;forgiveness.&quot;Apart from her stint in &quot;Miss Q&amp;A,&quot; Pacheco, who has 1.9 million followers on Facebook, also represented the Philippines in the 2023 Miss International Queen pageant, where she placed in the Top 6.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/life/06/25/23/lars-pacheco-finishes-in-top-6-of-miss-international-queen">READ: PH&#x27;s Lars Pacheco finishes Miss International Queen journey in top 6</a></div>
