Aiko Melendez cries foul over mistress tag

Kapamilya actress Aiko Melendez was not pleased when she was accused of being the mistress of her boyfriend, Subic Mayor Jay Khonghun, who is currently running for the vice gubernatorial post in the midterm election.

Melendez took to Facebook to post a video and call out her accuser who she did not name and only referred to as “Madam Vice Governor”.

The actress told her accuser to just “stick to the issues” and try not to defame her reputation especially not that the election is fast approaching.

In the video, Melendez clarified that she can’t be a mistress because she got into a relationship with Khonghun when he was already separated with his former wife.

“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,” she said.

“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?” she added.

Melendez also said that she will not enter a relationship as a mistress because she knows how emotionally difficult that would 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,” she said.

She also said that she did not like the fact that her family got dragged in the accusations and told her accuser to just keep quiet if she has nothing to say.

“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,” she said.

Towards the end, Melendez addressed “Madam Vice Governor” and told her that she will be her “worst nightmare”.

“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,” she said.
