Manila, Philippines.
The rift between former lovers, Aiko Melendez and Patrick Meneses has now gone too far; while the whole nation is currently feasting on the issue, a libel case has been filed yesterday and soon will be heard in court.
Which leave us with the question, how did this showbiz "circus" start?
In his conversation with PEP, Mayor Patrick Meneses said that he was surprised when in the middle of TV5 Paparazzi's dialogue, host Cristy Fermin showed him a Twitter transcript - an alleged direct message conversation between Aiko Melendez and his reporter friend.
The Mayor, who was held "hostage" in an uncomfortable TV interview that has been televised nationwide, told Roldan Castro, "Nag-guest ako (in Paparazzi) para sabihing okey kami, We respect each other dahil hindi na rin naman siya (Aiko) nagsasalita kahit wala na kaming communication."
Meneses may interpret Fermin's act as something that was done to help him, but if you'll look closely - the good mayor's would-be responses was kind of "abused" too in the show, given that Patrick got enraged about what he saw, he was left with no choice but to answer and clear his name to Fermin's tabloid-like "unbecoming and vulgar" exposes.
Patrick further told Castro, "No wonder kaya pala ako gustong i-guest, sabi niya (Fermin), Mayor, mag guest ka lang, please."
Say Cristy Fermin was true to his intentions to help the Mayor, she could have spoken to him in private and spare his "showbiz son" another shame and mockery from the viewing public.
If there's one person that was made to look bad out of the issue, it was the alleged mastermind, Aiko Melendez.
She has made her decision to keep mum about the controversy since in the first place, the burden of proof lies in Meneses and Roque's camp.
On the other hand, Patrick has all the right in the world to sue anyone that will destroy his integrity and reputation. His "damage control" to save his image when he filed a case against Aiko Melendez is deemed understandable.
Whether or not the Mayor's allegations are true - it's the impartial court who'll decide if Melendez indeed fabricated malicious stories against his ex-boyfriend.
Circumstances have its own tricky way of getting people's lives miserable, it will spare no one -even actors and politicians.
One day you're sweethearts, you parted ways as friends...then comes one Sunday afternoon that you find out the "truth" in an interview and suddenly, in an instant, you became enemies with your ex - a special thanks to Cristy Fermin's unparalleled goodwill and utmost concern.
