Aiko Melendez admits longing for a father’s love after losing her dad | ‘Korina Interviews’
NOT a lot of people remember what happened to Aiko Melendez’s childhood.
Her father, actor Jimmy Melendez, left her and she grew up longing for the love of her dad.
In the final 6 months of the life of the actor, their reunion could have been OK but he passed away while watching a movie of Aiko as he was crying.
Aiko was holding back her tears as she narrates her life to Korina Sanchez-Roxas on the NET25 talk show Korina Interviews.
From TV commercials to being a champion swimmer in school, until she became a lead dramatic actress, Aiko is now a mommy and a three-termer councilor in Quezon City. Wow.
Aiko has been through a lot in her life’s journey — and now, she is also enjoying her long-time romantic relationship with a congressman.
The life and times of Aiko Melendez on today’s Korina Interviews. Don’t miss it! On NET25 5pm, right after the romantic comedy Goodwill.
