Jason feels ‘much better’ after split with Melai
Months after his breakup with Melai Cantiveros, Jason Francisco admits he feels “much better now,” but not yet completely fine.
“Ako, sa totoo lang ngayon, okay lang naman, okay lang naman sa akin. Ako, personally, much better, much better. Mas okay na ‘yung feelings ko ngayon (kaysa) three months ago, two months ago,” Jason said at the awarding of P100,000 to his chosen charity, Mother of Mercy Home for the Elderly and Abandoned in San Pedro, Laguna, on Thursday, April 19.
Jason added that he would like to go on a vacation to help divert his attention.
“Okay minsan, minsan hindi rin. Ibig sabihin, hindi pa ganoon kaayos, hindi pa ganoon ka-okay, ganoon. Ngayon nga, magpapaalam sana ako magbakasyon, kasi nga para ma-divert iyong attention ko,” he revealed.
Jason shared that he went to Bacolod with friends for three days to give himself a break after his TV drama “Angelito” ended. He also revealed that he and Melai sometimes communicate.
People saw how Jason and Melai’s relationship bloomed and ended inside Pinoy Big Brother’s house. The cause of their split is not yet clear and Jason is keeping most of his feelings to himself.
Charity
Jason is the first Bench celebrity endorser to earn 100,000 votes in the “1M to 1M” campaign, which allots a cash prize to the celebrity’s charity of choice. He bested fellow Bench endorsers Jake Cuenca, Dingdong Dantes, Enchong Dee and Shaina Magdayao in getting the most number of votes.
Jason is happy and grateful that he won for his charity since he has a soft spot for the elders and his grandparents.
“Salamat sa mga fans and mga taong nag-support. Feeling ko rin naman hindi lang naman ito para sa akin, para rin ito sa mga lola. Hindi naman sa akin mapupunta ang pera, parang naging instrument lang ako para sa ganitong charity,” Jason said.
Jason did not expect he will be blessed with a showbiz career after his stint in Pinoy Big Brother Double Up. He also has high hopes for Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited winner Slater Young, who plans to enter showbiz.
“Kapag gwapo naman, siyempre habulin iyan ng chicks, so maraming magiging career siya, alam ko naman. ‘Tsaka maganda iyon kasi mayroon siyang iniisip na gusto niyang mag-artista, alam niya kung ano iyong pinasok niya,” Jason observed.
Advice to teen housemates
Now that the PBB Teen Edition is on, Jason admits he doesn’t know what the perfect strategy is to win the reality show. However, he advises teen housemates to behave and learn how to get along inside the house.
“Kahit naman anong galing mo doon, nasa tao pa rin iyon. Makisama ka lang rin, kase iba-iba naman ang mga ugali ng mga tao doon. Pakisamahan mo, basta nasa lugar ka lang,” Jason said.
