Onemig Bondoc is savoring quality moments with Aiko Melendez, following the revelation that he is romantically pursuing the actress-turned–Quezon City councilor.

On Saturday, 10 January, Bondoc shared photos on Instagram showing the pair enjoying each other’s company.

“Happy together… after 29 [years],” he captioned the post, hinting at a long-standing connection between them.

The post drew attention from followers, including Melendez’s daughter, Marthena Jickain, who appeared supportive of her mother’s suitor with a simple “Aww.” Bondoc replied by encouraging her to “enjoy her time” with her father, Martin Jickain.

Earlier in the day, the pair also joined a TikTok Live, where Bondoc openly confirmed that he is courting Melendez.

The actress, however, clarified that she has not yet accepted him as her boyfriend, emphasizing that they remain “good friends” for now.

Their recent interactions suggest a sweet and playful stage in their relationship—one that blends friendship with a budding romance in the public eye.
