Aiko expressed in a media interview that her good friend Vina will take her role in the show due to some personal matters.
She stated that she wants to support her boyfriend Jay Khonghun, who is running for a vice-gubernatorial position in the May 2019 elections.
“Sadly, hindi namin kasi nakita itong mangyayari, itong nangyayari ngayon sa sitwasyon namin ni Jay. So, I had to decline,” she quipped.
“Pasensya na po. And babawi po ako sa inyo. Mas kailangan lang kasi talaga ako ngayon ni Jay,” she added.
