Jason, Melai fire back: ‘Ina-underestimate nila kami’

Jason Francisco and Melai Cantiveros

Soon-to-be-wed Melai Cantiveros and Jason Francisco expressed hurt after some friends aired their doubt over the latter’s preparedness for fatherhood back when news spread that they are having a baby.

“Siyempre, normal na reaksiyon ng mga kaibigan ‘yun. Pero siyempre, nasasaktan ka din kasi ina-underestimate nila kami,” Melai said in Ador Saluta’s report published on Balita, Sunday.

The Kapamilya prized comedienne insists that they are competent enough to raise a child, saying “’Yung mga mangingisda nga, kumakain ng tatlong beses isang araw, kami pa?”

For his part, Jason, related, “Sabi ko nga, dalawa lang itong bubuhayin ko ngayon,” referring to Melai and her four-month baby bump.

He stressed, “Eh, noon, ilang pamilya ang binuhay ko, umaasa sa akin – tatlo? Tatlong pamilya. Maliit pa ako noon, nasa high school, kumbaga ako ang bumubuhay sa kanila, mga pamangkin, at kahit papaano, nairaos ko. Hindi kasi nila alam… Ito, dalawa lang. Hindi pa ako artista nakaya ko, itong dalawa pa?”

A reportedly teary-eyed Jason also shared, “Ano sila, puwede nilang sabihin kung anuman ang gusto nilang sabihin sa akin. Pero, ‘yung hindi ko pa kaya? Sa totoo lang, nakarating sa parents ko sa province at nagalit sila. Sabi ko nga, tayo nagsasaya, tapos sila ganyan?”

In a Bulletin Entertainment report in September, some of Melai’s “Banana Split” friends aired concern after learning the “good news” of her being pregnant. Jason’s ability to take on the responsibility also came into question, with one of them even challenging him to prove his worth.

Jason also said, “Hayaan na natin sila kasi hindi naman nila ako kilala, hindi naman ako close sa kanila. Dahil ba sa ganito ang itsura ko?”
