Kung magkakasundo, Aiai payag lumipat ng Siete

Ang Pilipino STAR Ngayon 04/11/2007 

Nakausap namin si Aiai delas Alas kahapon, Martes at masayang-masaya siya dahil simula raw nung nagbukas ang pelikulang Ang Cute Ng Ina Mo last Saturday hanggang kahapon ay hindi humihinto ang pila nationwide.

"Sobrang pasalamat ko kay Lord, sobrang blessings ang ibinigay sa akin, wala akong mahihiling pa kasi ibinigay niya ang wish ko.

"Pati sa lahat ng nanood na, maraming salamat at sana, ulitin nila," say ng komedyana.

Walang ideya si Ms. A kung magkano ang first day ng pelikula dahil hindi naman daw siya sinabihan ng taga-Star Cinema, pero nung magtanong kami sa taga-Dos ay usapan daw na nagtala ng P11M sa first day at nasa P14M naman ang second day.

Dagdag pa ng nagkuwento sa amin, "Hindi po bumababa ng P10M a day nationwide ang kita ng Ang Cute Ng Ina Mo, so kung apat na araw na, nasa P40M plus na, wala pong padding ‘yun."

Samantala, tinanong namin kung truliling may offer ang GMA-7 kay Aiai dahil hanggang ngayon ay may mga nagtatanong sa aming taga-Siete kung ano ang regular show sa Dos ng komedyana dahil nga interesado raw silang kunin ito tulad ni Judy Ann Santos.

"As of now, wala naman akong natatanggap, eh. Ewan ko si ama (Boy Abunda) kasi hindi naman niya sinasabi kung hindi pa concrete o sure na. At hindi rin naman ako nagtatanong kasi ayoko namang makulitan sa akin.

"Pero kung ako ang tatanungin, why not kung maganda ba at okey din ang tf. Pinag-uusapan na kasi rito, e, ‘yung ikabubuhay ko, e, loyal nga ako sa ABS-CBN, wala naman silang maibigay sa aking regular show, e, siguro maiintindihan nila kung bakit ako lilipat if ever.

"Sana kung sing-yaman ako ni Aga Muhlach na maski hindi magtrabaho at papeli-pelikula lang minsan sa isang taon ang ginagawa, e, okey na ako, kaso hindi, may mga anak akong binubuhay at single parent ako, so siguro maiintindihan ako ro’n. At saka hindi naman porket’ nag-work ka sa ibang network, e, wala ka nang loyalty no’n," maganda niyang paliwanag.

Since kumita naman ang Ang Cute Ng Ina Mo, hindi pa ba hudyat ito para bigyan ng show si Ms. A sa Dos?

Ai Ai to enter politics

By: Remy Umerez

A LITTLE BIT 

APPEARING as one of the panelists in RPN 9’s “Showbiz Tonite” was made even more delightful as the featured celebrity interviewed (or roasted) was comedy queen,  Ai Ai delas Alas. We were joined by colleagues Mario Bautista and  Reggie Bonoan in the panel.

“Showbiz Tonite” runs only for 30 minutes from Monday to Friday (8 p.m. to  8:30 p.m.) hosted by  Pat P. Daza. We now understand why colleague and friend Ronald Constantino raves about this new showbiz talk show. Ms. Pat must be the main reason because she projects warmth and she interacts well with the guests. She also has a special way of asking a sensitive question in a  non-offensive way. She pries their personal lives always with a smile that is so infectious that guests soon open up. Ms. Pat  knows how to throw intrigue but in a less intriguing way that is why guests feel relaxed. She doesn’t interrogate, she simply inquires about issues that need clarification.

Truth to tell, when you have a guest who is as witty and unstoppable like Ai Ai, 30 minutes is not enough. Her appearance was also timed with the showing of her movie “Ang Cute ng Ina Mo” which we learned is doing well at the box office.

We asked Ai Ai: You prayed to all the saints in heaven for the success of the movie and went to Our Lady of Manaoag and your wish has been granted. How do you thank Him?

“Sa amin na lang po iyon ni Lord. There are things I want to be kept secret dahil ayaw kong mabigyan ito ng ibang kahulugan. Kahit wala akong pelikulang ipinalalabas ay lagi akong nagpapasalamat sa Kanya. I never question Him lalo na noong bumagyo when my first solo movie “Ang Tanging Ina” was shown. At ngayon, He gave me another bonus. Thanking Him is not enough but as I’ve said, it is between Him and me.”

Do you get a bonus when your movie becomes a hit?

“Doon po sa ‘Ang Tanging Ina’ ay binigyan ako. Ewan ko lang kung merong bonus para sa ‘Cute ang Ina Mo’.”

It is election time and many movie stars are aspiring to sit on the Senate. Ikaw, nag-ilusyon ka ba na maging First Lady ng Calatagan?

“Oo and I intend to join politics in the near future. Marami akong gustong gawin for my kababayans sa Calatagan, Batangas. At hindi pagi-ging isang senador ang tinatarget ko. I want to start from the bottom. Tulad ni Mayor Vi.”

Do you ever plan to marry again?

“Hindi na siguro. At saka may papatol at pakakasal ba sa akin eh ang lalaki na ng mga anak ko? Siyempre ang mas gugustuhin nilang pakasalan ay iyong bata. Maybe I will just fall in love na lang.”

Have you ever imagined yourself appearing in a non-comedy role, a straight drama for a change?

“Pwede siguro for an indie producer kasi di ba palaging serious ang gusto nilang i-produce? Dito sa ‘Ang Cute ng Ina Mo’ ay nagdrama din ako pero singit lang. They appreciate me as a comedian kaya ibigay ang gusto ng tao dahil doon tayo kumikita.”

Any upcoming project after “Ang Cute ng Ina Mo”?

“There are talks na pagsasamahin kami ni Rufa Mae Quinto na parang spoof  sa pelikulang ‘Sukob’ under Octoarts. Pero hindi pa kinakausap ang aking manager kaya nothing is official yet.”

With Tony Reyes as director?

"Naku, pang Bossing lang yata si direk Tony. But you know Tito, dream ko na magsama kami ni Bossing Vic sa isang  movie.”
 
How is your lovelife?

“Ay naku, huwag na lang yan ang pag-usapan natin. Lagi akong sumasablay kapag  pag-ibig na ang topic. Parang I was not born to find Mr. Right.”

FREEHAND 

AI AI WANTS TO TRY STRAIGHT DRAMA

AI AI de las Alas  requested us to be one of the reporters who’d interview her when she guested in “Showbiz Ka” on RPN-9 last Thursday. It turned out to be one of the liveliest episodes in PatP Daza Planas’ showbiz program as Ai Ai is such a naturally hilarious subject, answering even the most serious questions with her own brand of nutty humor.
   
She has reason to be proud since her new movie, “Ang Cute ng Ina Mo,” is a certified blockbuster, earning P38 million in four days. She has now given her nod to do her next film with Orly Ilacad of OctoArts. It’ll   be a horror comedy that is a spoof of the block buster, ”Sukob,.”  “Ang sa akin naman, ‘Sukob sa Payong’, at si Rufa Mae Quinto ang kasama ko, still directed by Wenn Deramas of ‘Ang Cute ng Ina Mo’,” she says.
   
Would she like to try doing a straight drama? “Siguro, sa indie film muna, dahil sila ang gumagawa ng mga pelikulang walang pakialam kahit hindi kumita. Sa mainstream kasi, I don’t think may susugal sa akin na igawa ako ng straight drama movie. Ngayon, kapag kumita ‘yung indie film, baka igawa na nila ko ng seryosong drama sa mainstream.”
   
Who are the stars she’d like to work with? “Unang-una, si Ate Vi (Vilma Santos) kasi idol ko talaga siya. Then si Mang Dolphy, na despite his stature, talagang na-nanatiling very humble. Then si Bossing Vic Sotto dahil feeling ko, akong aagaw sa kanya kay Pia Guanio.”

Marco Sison, may anak kay AiAi?
April 18, 2007  

 

Gaano kaya katotoo ang kumakalat na balita na may anak si Marco Sison kay AiAi delas Alas.

Ang singer daw ang tunay na ama ng panganay ng comedy concert queen at nangyari ito noong Lunch Date days pa.

Kahit na nga pinangalanan na ni AiAi ang tunay na ama ng kanyang panganay ay may mga lumalabas pa rin sitsit na si Marco ang tunay na ama nito.

Samantala, ayaw nang sagutin ni AiAi ang nasabing isyu dahil wala umano itong katotohanan.

http://rmn.com.ph/

Kalandian ng komedyana, miss na miss ni singer-aktor!

Dondon Sermino 

TODO-KAYOD pa rin si Ai Ai delas Alas hanggang ngayon. Sabi ng iba, kung tutuusin ay hindi na dapat nagpupuyat, kumakayod sa gabi si Ai Ai, dahil nakaipon na rin naman siya sa matagal na panahong pinagtrabaho niya.

Aba, bukod sa dalawang bahay na naipundar na niya, na ang isa ay ibinigay niya sa kanyang nanay-nanayan, nabili na ni Ai Ai ang mga mamahaling sasakyan, na ni sa panaginip ay hindi puwedeng bilhin ng ibang tao.

Pero sabi ni Ai Ai, dahil wala nga siyang katuwang sa pagpapalaki ng mga anak niya, kaya kahit mahigit kuwarenta na siya, kailangan pa rin niyang kumayod nang husto.

"Nag-i-enjoy rin naman ako sa ginagawa kong show. Kahit late na late na `yon, okey lang, hindi ko rin naman nararamdaman ang pagod," sabi ni Ai Ai.

Aba, hindi nga katulad si Ai Ai ng ibang komedyante riyan na kapag may TV show o pelikula na, hindi na tumatanggap ng mga show sa mga sing-along bar.

"‘Yung mga show ko naman, sa mga sing-along bar na part-owner ako, doon ko lang ginagawa. So, nakikinabang na rin `yung business ko.

"Like `yung show ko sa Friday sa Klownz Araneta, kaming dalawa ni Allan K ang magkasama. Kami ang may-ari ng bar na `yon, kaya okey lang kahit mag-show kami gabi-gabi, `di ba?

"Si Allan nga na sobrang yaman na, ayaw pa ring paawat sa kasu-show, eh. So, ako pa ba ang hihinto? Eh, sayang din naman ang kita, at nag-i-enjoy pa ako. Kaya pa rin naman ng katawan ko," say niya.

Sa Saturday naman, kami ni Papa Miguel (Vera), ang ex-husband ni Ai Ai, ang siyang makakasama niya sa Klown Angeles.

"Hay naku, magkakatikiman na naman kami. At magiging witnesses ang mga tao sa Angeles, ha! Tingnan ko lang kung makaiwas siya sa kagagahan ko!

"Eh, game na game naman si Papa Miguel sa akin. Ang tagal naming nagsama, kaya I’m sure, miss na miss na rin niya ang kalandian ko. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" sabi lang ni Ai Ai.

Ai Ai and Kris: ‘May Isasarap pa ang Buhay!’


So what happens when Ai Ai and Kris join forces to endorse one product? "E di mas malakas at mas masarap," explains Ai Ai.

Last year, Comedy Concert Queen Ai Ai delas Alas was a hit in her first major product endorsement. As Ginang Madiskarte for MAGGI Magic Sarap, Ai Ai connected well with the mothers who use the product. As a result, sales for the brand soared beyond expectations!

One Magical Thing Deserves Another

Still, even good things can be made better. Ai Ai is now joined by her "friendship" no less than Ms. Kris Aquino, as the new endorser of MAGGI Magic Sarap. Together they form the powerhouse team behind the brand.

Why Ai Ai and Kris?

There is nothing like the endorsement of a trusted friend to convince you to finally try a product or service that you’ve been considering for sometime. And there is nothing like the backing of popular showbiz "friendships" Ai Ai and Kris.

Popular celebrities and both winning moms, the combination of Ai Ai and Kris is perfect. Together they reflect the values of MAGGI Magic Sarap: unique, versatile, genuine and madiskarte.

Unique

MAGGI Magic Sarap is the first and only granulated seasoning in the market. Every granule is bursting with the delicious taste of real meat and spices. The granule format also makes it more convenient to use since it does not cake easily, unlike powders.

Ai Ai and Kris are in a class of their own. Often imitated, but never matched, there is no other celebrity in show business with the magnetism and appeal of Kris Aquino. Everyone follows her life and loves with fascination and enthralment. Ai Ai on the other hand, sets herself apart from other comedians with her own unique brand of humour. She is the hilarious mother in Tanging Ina who manages to still tug our hearts with her selfless love for her children.

Versatile

With MAGGI Magic Sarap, any favourite classic like adobo, fried chicken, chopsuey, sinangag or nilaga among others, can be made even more delicious. MAGGI Magic Sarap can weave magic into any type of dish, be it saucy, fried, stir fried or soupy.

Just like MAGGI Magic Sarap, Ai Ai has proven her versatility in comedy, drama, hosting and even in singing. Kris on the other hand, aside from being an award winning host, is also an award winning actress. More importantly, both Ai Ai and Kris are not just celebrities but caring moms for their kids.

Genuine

MAGGI Magic Sarap has the delicious taste of real meat and natural ingredients. Unlike other flavorings, it has no artificial taste or flavor.

Ai Ai and Kris are naturals on and off the camera. They speak their minds and are not afraid to say what they think is right. Ai Ai has often said "totoong tao ako." Because for her, what they see, is what they get. She is one of the most transparent showbiz personalities. "At madali akong umiyak," she says. Ai Ai is very emotional especially when the talk centers on her children. "Sila ang lahat, lahat sa akin." As for Kris, she is the sister, the friend that we all want to have. People believe her when she talks, because she never masks or shields the truth. She is outspoken and ferociously loyal.

Madiskarte

Ai Ai and Kris have been weaving magic in both their personal and professional life. They win some, then lose some, and yet they continue to stand tall. "Kailangan marunong ka dumiskarte sa buhay. Kung naniniwala ka sa magic, maganda kung samahan ng diskarte," explains Ai Ai. With their exceptional personalities, Ai Ai and Kris match the unique qualities of MAGGI Magic Sarap. "Fit talaga ang MAGGI Magic Sarap sa amin."

"Ang payo namin sa mga ina na katulad namin, dumiskarte para lalong may Magic sa buhay," Ai Ai and Kris declare.

Magic sa buhay," Ai Ai and Kris declare.

May Isasarap Pa ang Buhay

Ai Ai and Kris seem to have it all — a successful career, devoted friends and loving children who are their pride and joy. And yet, they believe that life can still get better.

Kris is in the process of building a new family with hubby James Yap, and she is now happily expecting their first child. Though trials are inadvertently thrown their way, she stands firm in her decision to fight for her family and give a better life for her children.

Ai Ai is moving into a new stage in her career where she explores avenues beyond her usual comedy turf. She is not one to rest on her laurels as Comedy Concert Queen and a certified box office star. Her telenovela debut as Adora in "Bituing Walang Ningning" was well received. She also made us cry with her as she longed for her lost child in "Super Inggo."

Truly for both Ai Ai and Kris, may isasarap pa ang buhay!

Ai-Ai, Vilma movie tuloy na

By: Dinno Erece

Daily Insider

MALAMANG na matuloy na raw ang Lipa Mayor Vilma Santos and Ai-Ai delas Alas movie.
   
After the success of Ang Cute Ng Ina Mo, tatlong pelikula ang nakatakdang gawin ni Ai-AI,  an Octo-Arts (or is it Viva) na 4 in 1 together with Rufa Mae Quinto and Gladys Guevarra plus one more, a Regal Films movie at ang Star Cinema movie na ididirek ni Wenn Deramas, ang unang pelikulang pagsasamahan nina Mayor Vi and Ai-Ai.
   
Sabi niya nga nang nagkita kami sa Valenzuela to campaign for Wes Gatchalian na tatakbong congressman for the second district, matutupad na rin daw ang pangarap niya. Ai-Ai  is an avowed Vilmanian kasi. At naka-tsika na niya si Mayor Vi about this dahil she recently campaigned for her sa Batangas City at running naman ito for Governor of Batangas.
   
Hindi n’yo  naitatanong, bukod sa this year’s box office queen, siya rin ang campaign queen ‘no?

Basta 

TULOY na raw ang pelikulang pagsasamahan nina Vilma Santos at Ai-Ai de las Alas under Star Cinema, kaya lang, next year pa ito gagawin.
    
Busy pa kasi ang una sa politics at mas bibigat ang trabaho ’pag nanalong governor ng Batangas. Si Ai-Ai naman, uunahin ang mga pelikula niya sa OctoArts at Regal.
   
Si Wenn Deramas ang narinig naming director ng project na gaya ni Ai-Ai, Vilmanian, kaya siguradong tuwang-tuwa rin.
   
Kung sa ’D Lucky Ones ay may cameo role lang ang actress-politician, this time, sa full length movie na niya maididirek.

DEDMA lang si Ai  Ai delas Alas kung hindi siya ku-ning ninang ng anak nina Kris Aquino at James Yap.

Hindi pa nakikita ni Ai  Ai  ang pangalawang anak ni Kris na si James Jr. Busy siya sa pagtulong sa pa-ngangampanya sa mga kaibigan niya like si Mayor Vilma Santos na tumatakbong Governor for Batangas City at si Wes Gatcha-lian naman na running for the 2nd District of Valenzuela City as Congressman. Nagpadala na raw siya ng flowers at text.

Hindi pa rin naman daw puwedeng kausapin si Kris dahil after a Caesarian operation, hindi raw kasi advisable na nagsasalita ng ma-dalas. Kung ooperan daw siyang magninang, tatangga-pin niya ito ng maluwag sa puso.

Kung hindi naman daw �" dahil may hindi nga sila pagkakaunawaan ni James bago nagsilang si Kris �" okay lang din daw. Of course,  mas gusto ni Ai  Ai  kung maging ninang nga siya, ha.

Basta she’s happy for their  friendship daw.

Ate Vi, yes agad sa Ai-Ai project

By: Mercy Lejarde 

TELL & TELL

Anyway, naikuwento rin ni Direk Wenn na napa-oo na niya si Ate Vi na gumawa ng pelikula after the May elections. Gagawin nila ang pelikulang Mama Mia, Mama Mia with Ai-Ai de las Alas, Luis Manzano and Anne Curtis.

Paano n’ya napa-oo si Ate Vi? “Textmates kasi kami. Sobra siyang magiliw sa akin mula pa nu’ng time ng Kampanerang Kuba. Every night, kapag nakapanood siya, iti-text niya ako.

“Thank you sa pag-aalaga mo sa anak ko, ganyan-ganyan. Hanggang sa nu’ng ako naman ’yung humiling para mag-guest siya sa D’Lucky Ones, walang titingnan ko ang schedule ko, walang ganu’n. Yes agad siya.

“Kaya nga nu’ng ginawa namin ’yung D’Lucky Ones, dyusko, ginabi kami sa kuwentuhan. ’Yun na. Hindi na natigil ang text namin. Lalo pa ’yung mga ginagawa ko ay puro kanya, like Kampanera at Palimos ng Pag-ibig, so open ang naging communication namin.

“Nu’ng kinongratulate niya ako sa Ang Cute ng Ina Mo, sumagot ako, sabi ko, ‘Ate Vi may concept ho ako. Kayo ni Ai-Ai, etc.’ at sumagot agad siya ng ‘yes.’ Sabi ko, saan ko ipadadala? Sinend niya ’yung address niya, so ’yon na.”

Wish namin igawa rin ni Direk Wenn ng concept si Sharon Cuneta with Ate Vi, dahil very vocal ang megastar sa pagsasabing gustung-gusto niyang gumawa ng pelikulang kasama ang Star for all Seasons, kahit hulug-hulugan ang talent fee niya.

‘Darna,’ gustong gawin ni Ai-Ai

By: Ogie Diaz  

Nangangarap na magkaroon ng fantaserye si Ai-Ai de las Alas pagkatapos ng Super Inggo.             “Gusto kong gawin ’yung Darna!” anang komedyana.
   
Ah, talaga? Sino kaya ang gaganap na kapatid niyang si Ding? Si Niño Muhlach pa rin kaya ang mag-aabot ng bato? O, hindi bagay?                 We’re sure, si Makisig Morales ang kukunin.
