Aiko Melendez stressed she has been “fully vaccinated” not because she got special treatment as a celebrity. | marinelRcruzINQ

“I know there are still a lot of people who are hesitant to get vaccinated. If you have the chance to get one, grab it,” appealed Aiko, who also confessed to seriously considering running for Congress for Quezon City’s fifth district in 2022.

As for her biggest regret, Aiko said it was not being able to hug her stepdad tight enough. “But now, I’ve realized that he has given me a mission. I will be one of the voices that will tell people to take COVID-19 seriously,” she declared. “If you’re lucky enough not to get infected, this doesn’t mean the virus is not true. Other people think that wearing masks and washing hands are purely commercialism; they’re not. This virus kills.

“It’s not easy being both a mom and a dad to them, but I’m just so blessed that I was able to raise them well, with the help of my own mom [Elsa Castañeda]. She took care of my kids during those times when I didn’t have a choice but to leave the house in order to raise money for their future. Yes, it’s really tough to be a single mom.
