WHAT CAN Jomari Yllana say now that ex-wife Aiko Melendez, who’s with the recently concluded “Reputasyon”, has moved to TV5 now that he’s back in ABS-CBN in the new soap “E-Boy”, that will replace “Ikaw ay Pag-ibig” starting January 30. Aiko is in the cast of the David Archuleta mini-series, “Nandito Ako”.
“O, huwag nyo sabihing ako ang dahilan kaya umalis siya ng ABS as we’re okay, wala kaming problema,” he says. “Like me, free lancer naman siya so she’s free to work kunsaan may trabaho for her.”
How about the rumor that Ronald Singson (they used to be partners producing concerts of foreign artists) is sore at him for not visiting him in jail in Hongkong? “He denied that already on TV kasi nga I visited him. Maayos kami, no problem between us, kaya huwag na sana intrigahin. I’m very happy for him na nakabalik na siya sa family niya. Hindi pa kami nagkikita since he came back but I hope to see him soon.”
In “E-Boy”, he plays Miguel, the brother of Ariel Rivera as Gabriel with whom he’s engaged in sibling rivalry. The show stars child actor Bugoy Carino in the title role of the robot who becomes a real boy later on.
“Bugoy is so talented, magaling talaga, and he deserves this break. Lahat ng generations, represented in this show. The older ones are sina Jaime Fabregas, Pen Medina, and Chinggoy Alonzo, then kami nina Ariel, Agot Isidro, Valerie Concepcion, tapos the teenagers led by Arjo Atayde na anak ni Sylvia Sanchez, Akiko Solon and Brian Santos, then the child stars with Bugoy, Maliksi Morales, Deydey Amansec and others. Kaya masaya kami, kulitan sa set. This is not just for kids but for the whole family.”
