But if she likes you, she’ll make a way na talagang make you feel that she likes you.”</p><p>Melendez said she also talked to Reyes before they started working together, especially since she is the younger sister of Ara Mina. </p><p>Mina was formerly in a relationship with Patrick Meneses and Jomari Yllana at different times. Both Meneses and Yllana were also in a relationship with Melendez at different times in the past.</p><p>“Bago kami sinalang I had to sit down with her and talk to her na, ‘Ihiwalay natin ang trabaho sa kung ano man ang mayroon kami ng sister mo.’ So maybe that’s one thing she appreciated with me because I’ve been very honest. I’ve laid my cards,” she said.</p>
