- Aiko Melendez addressed an issue launched against her by a certain ‘Madame Vice Governor’ and tagged her as ‘Jade’; likened to the character of Yam Concepcion’s character-mistress in Halik.
- Melendez stressed that prior to entering into a relationship with her current boyfriend’s; the latter’s marriage is soon to be annulled.
- She added that she will never enter a relationship where she would be a mistress because she knew how painful it can be.
Aiko Melendez already had enough of the false accusations thrown at her by a critic. It compelled the actress to deny the accusation that she is a mistress of her boyfriend, Subic Mayor Jay Khonghun and who is running for the vice gubernatorial post in the city of Zambales.
To finally clarify the issue, Melendez had a Facebook Live on Friday, April 5 to give her sentiments. Though she did not name the person, and addressed her as ‘Madame Vice Governor’, it was obvious that she was referring to the candidate who is running against her boyfriend.
Aiko was prompted to address the issue when she was tagged as ‘Jade’, likened to the character-mistress of Yam Concepcion in Halik to her boyfriend’s.
Aiko stressed that she is not a mistress.
In fact, her boyfriend previously had a girlfriend before she even came to the picture. Also, Khonghun’s previous marriage is about to be annulled and it is not her fault that the judicial system in the country is slow.
“Hindi po ako kabit. Una sa lahat, pumasok po ako sa buhay ni Jay, wala na po sila nung ex-wife niya. In fact, gusto niyo po i-check niyo po sa Olongapo, naka-file na po ‘yung annulment nila,
“Hindi ko po kasalanan kung ang judicial system natin sa Pilipinas ay mabagal. That’s why I am for divorce. So how dare you call me kabit?
“Bakit ka natatakot na pangalanan ako by the nickname na ‘Jade’, ‘di ba? Sa ex-wife? Ako ang dahilan ng paghihiwalay? Ang kabit itinatago, so naintindihan n’yo po kung ano ang diperensiya ng dalawang bagay?”
Aiko added that she would never be a mistress, for she herself had experienced being fooled by her past partner, so she knows how painful it can be.
“Ayaw ko pong naaakusahan ng isang bagay na hindi naman po totoo. Una sa lahat, naranasan ko na po ang maagawan ng asawa kaya hinding hindi ko gagawin ‘yun,”
The actress claimed that ‘Madam Vice Governor’ should act decently and focus on her platforms rather than using her as a campaign strategy in order to get the voter’s sympathy votes.
“Don’t use me. Kung talagang may proyekto kayo para sa tao, may plano po kayo para sa buong Zambales, like you claim that you had projects, why not focus on that?
“That’s what you call decency. Sometimes you really can’t buy class. I hope and pray that you can just buy it in a sari-sari store but you cannot. Sadly, sad to say, your kind of politics is so dirty. Napakadumi,
“Madam Vice Governor, you are elected by the people. Act like one. If you want to be elected again by the people, then be decent. Have a decent mouth. Have some manners. If you can’t buy manners, at least read a book about manners. Maybe in own little way, may natutunan ka sa akin. ‘Yun ay ang paggalang at pagrespeto sa kapwa babae mo,”
At the end of the video, Melendez warned the accuser, “I am going to be your worst nightmare.”
However, she said that she will be focusing on supporting Khonghun and helping Zambales.
“Hindi ko po sasabayan ang dumi ng politiko niyo; kami tulong lang.”
