Melai, full name Melisa Cantiveros of GenSan got her fairytale ending after she was announced “Big Winner” of the phenomenal hit reality show “Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up” last Saturday (Feb 13) at the “Big Date on the Big Night” in the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

Known to be the “Inday Kengkay of Gen San”, she won a close fight with second Big placer Paul Jake Castillo, who was revealed to be leading the votes when Big Brother showed the tally last Tuesday (Feb 9).

But after voting closed last Saturday, it was her Melai who led with 32.08% of almost four million text votes sent by fans of the program then followed by Paul Jake (27.31%), Jason Francisco (24.97%), Johan Santos (7.94%), and Steve “Tibo” Jumalon (7.69%).

With her pink gown and sitting on a moving throne, Melai was grandly welcomed to the outside world by honor guards, screaming fans, fireworks, and no less than ABS-CBN president Charo Santos-Concio, who was escorted by “Rubi” hunks Jake Cuenca and Deither Ocampo. Melai also cried on stage before receiving her check total of P1M (one million), a key to a brand new house and lot, a brand new pc laptop, and a business franchise.

PBB Big Brother’s last message to the Big Five brought tears to the viewers who will also miss him and his famous house.
