Patrick Meneses and Enrico Roque Sue Aiko Melendez For Libel



Bulacan, Philippines.
Patrick Meneses and Enrico Roque, both Mayors from the municipalities of Bulacan and Pandi respectively,  filed a separate libel case against Aiko Melendez before the Malolos Regional Trial Court (April 28).

Meneses sued his ex-girlfriend for violation of the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines Article 353 while  Roque filed a libel case against Melendez and 3 other movie writers, seeking P5,000,000 pesos in damages. 

Meanwhile, the two politicians rumored to be "lovers" got the support of their colleagues with regard to their case. Today, a resolution has been filed declaring the person who spread the "malicious lies" against Meneses and Roque a persona nan grata. The resolution was supported by the 21 mayors from the province of  Bulacan.




TV 5 Paparazzi's host Cristy Fermin surprised Patrick last sunday when she showed the Mayor a copy of the supposed-to-be Twitter transcript (direct messages) of her ex-girlfriend Aiko Melendez allegedly instructing a gay reporter to spread "malicious" stories against Meneses.


Mayor Enrico Roque, one of the owners of the famous Amana Water Park and Resort and Bodega ng Bayan, was said to be the "lover" of Meneses. 


Both Roque and Meneses denied the allegations, saying it's purely based on Melendez' imagination.

Melendez, in an interview with SNN last night, said that she doesn't know anything about the accusation. According to the ex-politician/ actress, she'll keep her mouth mum for now, will speak until the right time comes.
