Melai and Jason

MANILA -- One year after they broke up, comedienne Melisa "Melai" Cantiveros is back with former boyfriend Jason Francisco.

"Last month (nagkabalikan kami)," Cantiveros said.

Cantiveros and Francisco, who met as contestants on the reality show "Pinoy Big Brother," broke up in February last year due to misunderstandings.

While Francisco eventually decided to woo her back, Cantiveros entertained suitors, which only made Francisco even more hurt.

Francisco was also involved in a "brawl" with actor-dancer John Pratts over what Francisco felt were hurtful jokes about his then-former girlfriend on the gag show "Banana Split."

Cantiveros revealed that Francisco is now planning to work abroad after the controversy but assured that her on-again boyfriend is doing fine.

"Hindi ko pa alam kung ano ang (mangyayari). Pero kapag nangyari 'yon siyempre malalaman din ng tao na 'yon ang plano niya sa buhay, na mag-a-abroad siya o ano man ang plano niya," she told Aquino. "Pero depende pa. As of now, wala pa."

Asked how Francisco feels that his girlfriend is earning more than him, Cantiveros said: "Dati pa naman parang nararamdaman niya 'yon, sa start pa lang ng relationship namin. Paglabas pa lang namin sa 'PBB' parang big winner ako, tapos siya 'yung susunod. Pero siya mature siya pagdating doon at saka kung ganon siyang lalaki sana hindi na kami. Hindi isyu sa kanya yon."

"Kaya nga sa amin kapag nagdi-date kami ayaw niya yong nagbabayad ako, ayaw niya 'yon. Siya 'yung gusto na magbabayad," she added.

Cantiveros stressed that Francisco is doing everything to earn his own money. "Mayroon naman siyang raket, raket kahit papaano," she said.

Aside from "Banana Nite," Cantiveros is also part of hit series "Apoy Sa Dagat" with Angelica Panganiban, Piolo Pascual and Diether Ocampo.
