Aiko Melendez more careful after failed two marriages

July 17, 2008

THE annulment case filed by Aiko Melendez against ex-second husband Martin Jickain will have its first hearing tomorrow, July 18. She’s hoping it will not drag in court for so long so that she and Martin can both move on with their respective lives. Earlier, her petition for Permanent Protection Order against Martin was granted by the court. This means Martin cannot go near her at all. She won’t reveal if she requested this because Martin had previously hurt her physically.

“Basta I’m just happy that I’ll now be stress-free and also free from any form of abuse in the future,” she says. “But it doesn’t mean ipagkakait ko na kay Martin ang anak naming si Marthena. Tuloy pa rin yung privilege niya to have our daughter every Sunday and when it comes to that, bilib ako sa kanya as he really spends quality time with our baby.

Kapag may okasyon din sa family nila, he makes it a point na isama lagi si Marthena para hindi maging malayo sa family niya. I’m still hoping that in spite of what happened to us, maging friends pa rin kami one day for the sake of our daughter.”

Is she in a hurry to have her marriage annulled because she’s now into a new relationship with Patrick Meneses, a vice mayor in a town in Bulacan? “He’s a good friend and I really want to thank him kasi tuwing may problema ako, nandiyan siya. But I’m not ready to commit myself again. After two failed marriages, I want to be very, very careful na.”
