Jason asks Melai for space

Have former “Pinoy Big Brother” (PBB) housemates Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco started and ended their relationship inside the house where they first met?

That’s the question in everybody’s mind even before Jason and Melai visited the PBB house on Sunday, Feb. 19. Speculations even grew stronger when televiewers noticed that Jason and Melai were cold to each other inside the house.

“Ang kailangan ko lang ay space. Sobrang hirap kaya… Ayaw ko ng magkaroon ng personal na problema sa atin kasi hindi ko na kayang i-handle, naiirita na ako,” Jason told Melai in “PBB” on Thursday’s episode, February 23.

Things have changed

Jason said he has many things on his plate right now--showbiz career, family and relationship. And he cannot give his full attention and time to Melai. He said things have already changed since they left the PBB house.

“Iyon na nga kasi hindi mo kaya ng ganoon. Bakit panghabambuhay ba itong ginagawa natin? Yung trabaho natin na ito? Iyon yung hindi mo makuha, yung relasyon na gusto mo ay sobrang ma-on, hindi ma-off,” he added.

According to Melai, a relationship must be two-way. The couple should build their relationship.

“Alam mo, sa relasyon natin dapat bini-build natin iyon. Paano natin ibi-build ang relasyon natin kung ako lang ang nagbi-build? Alam mo kung masaya ka sa akin, dapat masaya ka,” Melai asked.

Jason obviously tried not to delve on the issue as he lay on the couch while Melai was talking. Melai asked Jason why he is already giving up on her.

“Ako nandito lang naman ako sa iyo bakit nanghihingi ba ako ng time sa iyo? Sa lahat ng relasyon eh ikaw ang iintindihin kasi give and take. Tayong dalawa nag-relasyon tayo parang kumbaga bumubuo tayo ng castle, hindi pwedeng ako lang ang bumubuo, dapat bumubuo ka din,” she said.

Finding another man

When Melai asked if it is okay for her to find another man, Jason replied, “Ok sige lang, mas ok nga iyon para hindi ka na umiyak.”

Melai walked out and told Jason, “Sobrang ma-pride ka kasi, binibigay mo sa pride lahat.”

Jason and Melai left the PBB house on Friday, February 24, and thanked Big Brother for opening the doors again for them.
