Ai-Ai says sorry to PNoy
Comedienne Ai-Ai delas Alas apologized to President Noynoy Aquino after his name was dragged in her legal spat with estranged husband Jed Salang.
PNoy allegedly meddled in the case Ai Ai, a close friend of his sister Kris Aquino, filed against Jed. Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda reportedly denied that PNoy interfered in the case and said that the President has more important issues to attend to than Ai Ai’s marital woes.
“Humihingi ako ng paumanhin para sa sarili ko, kasi nakakahiya naman sa Presidente. Nakakahiya sa Malacañang, na pati yung mga pangalan nila nadadawit sa domestic problem namin ng husband ko. Mali iyon,” Ai-Ai said at the press conference of the upcoming comedy movie “Kung Fu Divas” in ABS-CBN compound on Friday, September 20.
She explained, “Kasi ang dami ng problema ng Malacañang, ang dami ng problema ng ating Presidente, bakit pa naman ako dadagdag? Nakakatawa naman iyon. Nakakatawang nakakaasar.”
Kris’ love life
Ai-Ai even cited Kris’ love life as an example.
“Alangan naman pati lovelife ko ba naman isipin pa ng Presidente natin? Lovelife nga ni Friendship (Kris), hindi niya iniisip, lovelife ko pa ba? Di ba naman, nakakatawa talaga iyon.”
It was Jed’s lawyer who allegedly accused the President of meddling in Ai Ai’s case.
“Next time na magsasalita sana yung lawyer niya, sana isipin niya na yung kliyente niya ay may gag order. Na lahat kami ay may gag order. Anytime, hindi kami puwedeng magsalita,” Ai Ai said.
She also clarified that her boydyguards are not from the Presidential Security Group, but are Philippine National Police personnel, whom she pays out of her own pocket.
“Ako ang nagpapasweldo doon. Hindi ako nagnanakaw sa bayan. Part iyon ng proteksiyon sa sarili ko. Problema ko ito at bakit ko sila isasali?”
While she is very close to Kris, Ai-Ai clarified that she doesn’t ask her for help regarding her legal battle.
Friendship is enough
Ai-Ai said Kris’ friendship is enough for her.
Meanwhile, Ai Ai has turned producer again, this time together with Kapuso star Marian Rivera in the comedy movie “Kung Fu Divas.” Ai-Ai was all praise for Marian, whom she refers to as “Baby Girl.”
“Araw-araw meron akong pasalubong. Hindi naman kailangan mahal, pero para isipin niya ako habang nagsu-shoot siya, habang may soap siya noon, naiisip niya pa ako. ‘Ay, si Ate Ai bibilhan ko nito.’ Natutuwa ako sa gesture na iyon. Parang sabi ko na talagang malaki ang heart ni Marian.”
The award-winning comedy actress said Marian is a natural comedian.
“Kung Fu Divas,” which also stars Roderick Paulate, Nova Villa, Bianca Manalo and Edward Mendez, opens in cinemas on October 2.
