Ex-PBB housemate Rica Paras believes Melisa Cantiveros is head over heels in love with Jason Francisco!

Evicted Pinoy Big Brother Double Up housemate Rica Paras said she was sad about saying goodbye to her best friend inside Kuya’s house, Melisa Cantiveros. ABS-CBN.com interviewed Rica and asked her what she thinks is the real score between Melisa and her ka-love team in the house, Jason Francisco. “100% sure akong in-love si Melisa kay Jason. Every night nago-open up sa akin si Isay (her nickname for Melisa). Nabuking ko na ‘yung sando na iniwan ni Jason sa bag niya, nung gabi inilagay niya sa may unan niya! Nakakaloka! Tapos binigyan pa siya ni Jason ng teddy bear na laging katabi ni Isay sa pagtulog. At si Denggeh (a doll given by Big Brother), sinabi ko kay Isay na kaya niya mahal na mahal si Denggeh kasi nakikita niya sa doll si Jason. Ginagamit lang niya si Denggeh para may connection siya palagi kay Jason. Hinuhuli ko si Melisa, hindi siya makapagsalita!”



Although Melisa is obviously having a great time whenever she is with Jason, Rica said that as a friend, she advised Melisa to take things slow. “I told her to just enjoy the moment. Importante na bawat minuto sa loob ng bahay e masaya siya. I said to her always have fun with Jason. Minsan ka lang kasi sa buhay makakaramdam ng intense kilig. Baka kasi paglabas, hopefully hindi mangyari, baka hindi na ganun kakilig ang samahan for some reason. Use this time para mas magkakilala pa. Walang kaplastikan sa kanilang dalawa. They’re both natural.”

As much as the Melason love team has many fans, there are also those who think Jason is just using Melisa to appeal to the voting viewers of PBB. “I don’t think nakiki-ride on lang si Jason kay Melisa. That I can say for sure,” Rica commented. Her concern though, at the moment, is if Jason is mature enough to handle his feelings for Melai. “Parang hindi pa ganun ka all-out si Jason. Ang mga narinig ko kasi sa kanya, with the way he handled women in the past, hindi ganun kaganda. Nasabi nga na siya ‘yung guy na gusto niya munang ma-sure na gusto siya ng girl bago niya magustuhan. Kapag hindi na niya gusto ‘yung girl, ichipwera na lang. May pagka-immature pa si Jason when it comes to relationships. He needs to learn more. But I hope si Melisa na ang makapagbago kay Jason.”

As for her own love life, the 27-year-old transgender is very much happy with her boyfriend of five years. “Nagkaroon na ako ng mga boyfriends na Pilipino. Mahirap kasi dito sa atin na may discrimination from the religious sectors, sa family, pagdating sa same sex relationships. But my boyfriend really stood up for me. That’s what I believe in. Ako I stood up for myself, for my family. Siya kahit madalas siyang on the sideline lang lagi pa rin siyang naka-support sa mga ginagawa ko. He comes from a conservative Filipino background pero hindi niya naisip ‘yung kung nakakahiya ba o may sasabihin ‘yung ibang tao. He stood by me talaga kaya feeling ko ang haba ng hair ko! Winner!”
