Aside from walking out, Aiko Melendez also admitted to throwing a tempter tantrum on set.

After rekindling their friendship, actresses Aiko Melendez and Maricar de Mesa have decided to play a game to catch up with each other.

On Maricar's vlog, the two shared bits of their personal lives in a game called "Guilty or Not Guilty."

Aiko unexpectedly looked back on her career as an actress due to one of the questions asking if she's ever thrown a tempter tantrum on set.

"Ay, guilty. May reason kung bakit ko ginawa 'yun. Kaya ko ginawa 'yun kasi gusto kong turuan 'yung isang artista na laging late. Pinaghihintay mo lahat. 'Yung mga crew, just becuase mababa 'yung mga crew sa atin, that doesn't give you the license to be late on the set," she explained.

Aiko also recalled the time she walked out of the set during a shoot.

"Ang dami ko nang napagdaanan sa showbiz. Nag-walk out ako kasi, Diyos ko, sasabihin ko pa ba ito? Kasi may nag-steal ng kiss sa akin na katrabaho ko," she revelead.

"Hindi mo type?" Maricar prompted.

Aiko then clarified that it was an issue of consent.

"Hindi 'yun, mare eh. Ang usapan namin, 'yung kissing scene namin, daya. Pero ang ginawa niya, hinalikan pa rin niya 'ko forcefulyy so nag-walk out ako," she recalled.

Aiko did not disclose which projects both incidents happened, but whispered to Maricar the name of the co-star who kissed her without permission.

"Baka mag-walk out din ako," Maricar said after making a face.

Maricar also expressed how glad she is to catch up with Aiko.

"Mare, tayong dalawa nagkaalaman na kung anong changes natin. We need to catch up more na walang camera," she said.

It can be recalled that Aiko and Maricar renewed their friendship after they became co-stars in an episode of OFW-inspired drama anthology Tadhana.

The two did not disclose the reason for their rift, but have admitted to not speaking with each other for years due to a misunderstanding.
