'Melason' celebrates anniversary as a real-life couple
Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco, more popularly known as Melason, celebrated their first anniversary as a real-life couple on Tuesday, February 8.
In a short exclusive interview with Yahoo! Southeast Asia after the “Happy Yipee Yehey!” press conference at the Dolphy Theater in ABS-CBN the same day, Melai shared some of their anniversary plans for the day.
"Aalis kami ngayon dahil anniversary namin ngayon. Nag absent siya sa ‘Banana Split’ dahil mag-de-date kami. Ako rin after dito [presscon] go na ako, mag-bonding bonding," an excited Melai told Yahoo Southeast Asia.
They also have simple plans for Valentine’s Day but Melai chose not to divulge too many details.
Aside from her colorful love life, Melai also has a flourishing career. She and Jason will star in their new teleserye “Mana Po.” Melai is also part of ABS-CBN's noon time show “Happy Yipee Yehey!” and another Kapamilya program, “I Dare You” with Jericho Rosales and Iya Villana.
With all that's been happening in her life right now, has Melai realized how successful she has become since her “Pinoy Big Brother” days?
"Ni-register ko na talaga yun sa sarili ko dahil kahit hindi pa nag-re-register sinulat ko na talaga yun in ink. Mahalin mo lang at i-love mo lang [ang trabaho] dahil andiyan din naman si Jason inspirasyon mo. So wala namang problema," added Melai.
To give way to her hectic schedule, Melai left “Banana Split.” Melai said she was saddened by her exit from the daily gag because she had grown close to the program's staff and crew.
"Naiyak ako nung umalis ako sa ‘Banana Split’ dahil kailangan na umalis (dahil) marami na (akong shows)," she said.
“Happy Yipee Yehey!” will start to air on February 12 Saturday. The grand pilot episode will take place at the Ynares Sports Arena, Pasig.
