Melai: 'Hinay-hinay lang ako muna ngayon'

Melai Cantiveros is up against public pressure, now that ex-boyfriend Jason Francisco is courting her again.

But Melai is not budging and will not be rushed.

“Maraming ayaw, marami ring may gusto, yung mga Melasons (Melai and Jason’s fans). Pero at the end of the day, ikaw pa rin magdedesisyon kung sino yung tinitibok ng puso mo, kung ready ka na ba  magmahal ulit. Kasi kung hindi ka pa ready, may chance na masaktan ka ulit at ayaw ko nang mangyaru iyon ulit,”  she said at the press conference of ABS-CBN’s new gag show “Banana Nite.

Uncertain future
Melai said she and Jason have remained friends.

“Maghintay na lang siguro siya kung kalian ako magiging okay. Hinay-hinay lang siguro ako muna ngayon. Palagi rin naman siyang andiyan.”

Melai noted that Jason has changed, saying that he has become more caring. Before, they would always fight.

Melai is now close to Kris Aquino who  promised to sponsor her wedding gown if she decides to walk down the aisle. 

Kris has also given Melai gifts. "Marami nang naibigay sa akin, tulad ng mga dress niya na hindi na niya nagamit. Then, gift checks, mga camera. Sabi ko lang, Ms. Kris, ‘Ang ganda naman ng camera mo.’ Sabi niya, ‘Ay, I’ll give you.’ Binigyan niya kaagad ako, pang-mayaman iyon. Sobrang nafi-feel ko na special kami kay Ms. Kris,” Melai said.

The special attention from Kris makes her elated.

“Sobrang saya. Para akong nanalo sa lotto. Na-fifeel mo na favorite ka talaga niya. Tapos tinatawagan ka sa cellphone. Isipin mo kapatid siya ng president at ang mukha ng mama at papa niya nasa pera!”

“Banana Split”  airs nightly with “Banana Nite” starting Monday, February 25, after “Bandila.”
