Aiko Melendez on her lovelife: “I'm still single and just want to focus my time sa work and my kids. Lovelife is not my priority now. I do have suitors but wala pa ako sa mood to get into a relationship.”

Kinuha ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) ang reaksiyon ng aktres na si Aiko Melendez kaugnay ng isyung kinasasangkutan ng aktor at Quezon City councilor na si Roderick Paulate.

Dati rin kasing nanungkulan bilang konsehal sa Quezon City si Aiko.

Sinuspinde ni Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales si Roderick, kasama si Councilor Francisco Calalay Jr., ng anim na buwan dahil diumano sa pagpapasuweldo ng ghost employees.

Ayon kay Aiko, na nakausap ng PEP through Facebook, “I feel sad for Kuya Dick coz ang tagal ko nang friend si Kuya Dick.

“And from what I know about that is hindi guilty si Kuya Dick. And he will prove that in time.

“In fairness to Kuya Dick, hindi naman greedy yun para gawin yun.

“I'm just hoping and praying na malagpasan niya lahat ‘yan."

Dagdag niya, “Nung unang lumabas pa lang yung controversy, which was last year, I spoke to Kuya Dick and I offered him my prayers and my ear to listen.

“And nasabi niya sa akin what triggered everything, and ang basa namin, is politically motivated.

“Coz we all know naman na Kuya Dick is an artista and, minsan, ‘yan ang setback—kapag artista, mainit ang mata ng tao.

“Until hindi pa proven yung kay Kuya Dick, sana ang pakiusap ko sa mga tao is not to judge him.

“Nag-file naman siya ng counter [affidavit] so in no time, he will prove himself.”

AIKO’S POLITICAL PLANS. Samantala, tinanong na rin ng PEP si Aiko kung anong balak niya sa 2013 elections. Tatakbo ba siyang muli at sa anong posisyon?

Pagkatapos niyang manungkulan bilang konsehal ay tumakbong vice mayor ng Quezon City si Aiko noong 2010 elections, pero natalo siya sa nanalong si Joy Belmonte.

    This is unbelievable. Kuya Dick is one of the few actors na maprinsipyo. Tao nga naman, napakabilis husgahan ang taong matino pero ang mga lokoloko inaabot ng siyam siyam at kadalasan kahit mali nalulusutan. I'll pray for u Kuya Dick dahil ang isang tulad mo ay dapat manilbihan para sa taong bayan.

    this case against roderick is definitely politically motivated... being a neophyte councilor with no prior record of corruption as an artista, i dont think he would get into this kind of scheme so early in his career... fact is, these 'ghost employees' are all over the QC City Hall... kuya dick was just probably too naive and gullible that he was used by his colleagues to cover up their own corruption...
