Carlo Aquino admitted that he was initially nervous when the project “Exes Baggage” was offered to him especially that he would be working with his ex-girlfriend Angelica Panganiban. In an interview with Cinema News, Carlo remarked, "Kinakabahan ako simula nong binigay sa akin ‘yung project. Tulad ng sabi ko lagi naman akong kinakabahan. Tulad ng sabi ko si Angelica ‘yung kasama ko, ‘yung ex ko, tapos nilabas ‘yung teaser di ba? Nakailang [views] yata siya so parang nakadagdag siya sa excitement tapos nakadagdag din sa pressure na dapat mas mapaganda namin ‘yung pelikula.”

The actor admitted that he was very surprised of the outpouring support that they have received after the teaser was released. “Nagugulat ako don sa pagtanggap ng mga tao na nandiya-diyan pa rin sila. Kinikilig pa rin sila sa amin. Siguro nakadagdag din ‘yung pareho kaming single, wala kaming dine-date,” he said in the interview.

When asked how it is working with his ex-girlfriend, Carlo said, “Kami natural lang kung papano at papano siya sa akin, lahat lumalabas ng natural eh. Kasi ako naman kasi talaga nagke-care talaga ako sa kanya,” he stated.  

The actor shared that they became closer since they started shooting for the movie. “Mas naging close kami, mas nagte-text kami ngayon. [Pinag-uusapan namin] ‘yung mga high school days, kapag sinusundo ko siya at kapag wala siya sa shoot. Nagkikita kami ng mga high school best friends niya na hanggang ngayon best friends niya, nagkwe-kwentuhan kami,” he said.

On how he would describe Angelica as part of his life right now, he said, “Part siya ng past ko at present ko na ang dami niyang alam tungkol sa akin, ang dami kong alam tungkol sa kanya. Sa lahat ng kaibigan kong babae ibang level ‘yung pagmamahal at pag-care ko sa kanya."
