MANILA, Philippines – Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Double Up’s Big Winner Melisa "Melai" Cantiveros on Monday downplayed persistent talk that she will eventually outshine comedianne Pokwang.

Cantiveros, whose loud and bubbly personality earned her the moniker “Inday Kengkay ng GenSan,” pointed out that Pokwang is already an established comedienne in the industry. Thus, she said, it is impossible for her to become a threat to Pokwang’s career.

"Ano parang bomb threat? Hindi naman ako bomb threat? Siyempre ibang level naman si Pokwang. Nahihiya naman ako. Bakit naman ako ang threat? I can't believe it,” Cantiveros told abs-cbnNEWS.com.

On Monday Cantiveros met Pokwang for the first time on “Wowowee” when she and 5 other former housemates – Jason Francisco, Paul Jake Castillo, Johan Santos, Tibo Jumalon and Rica Paras - guested on the popular noontime show.

Cantiveros, Castillo, Francisco, Santos and Jumalon were PBB Double Up’s Big Five.

Meanwhile, During their “Wowowee” guesting, Francisco also proclaimed his love for Cantiveros anew.

“Noong unang nakilala ko siya may naramdaman na talaga ako. Alam ko siya na ang magpapasaya ng buong buhay ko. Isay, sinasabi ko sa iyo, sa buong mundo na talagang… totoo ang pag-ibig ko sa iyo,” Francisco said.

Cantiveros responded: “Totoo naman talaga ang pag-ibig ko sa iyo… alam na natin sa isa’t isa yan, huwag ka nang maingay... Mahal kita.”

Francisco and Cantiveros’ love blossomed during their 19-week stay inside the PBB house. They became the season's hottest love team.
