MANILA – In an interview with PEP.ph, comedienne-actress Ai-Ai delas Alas wished Eat Bulaga hosts Vic Sotto and Pauleen Luna all the best as they face the altar in January and stressed that she did not envy them or other celebrities who joined the wedding bandwagon.
“Okay lang, basta kung saan sila happy… Hindi naman [ako naiinggit] kasi naranasan ko na e. Sabi nga niya (Vic), ‘Naka–ilang kasal ka na ba?’ Sabi ko, ‘Lamang ako sa’yo ng isa!’” Ai-Ai quipped.
(It’s okay, as long as they’re happy… I’m not resentful because I already experienced it anyway. As he said, ‘How many marriages have you gone through?’ I said, ‘I got one more than you!)
It can be noted that Ai-Ai previously wed singer-actor Miguel Vera and businessman Jed Salang. Despite the two failed marriages, the 50-year-old comedienne did not dismiss the possibility of having a husband again.
“Hindi naman, hindi naman. Diba, sabi ko nga, hangga’t buhay tayo, may pag–asa? (No, no. Like I said, as long as we’re alive, there’s hope?)” she said.
In fact, Ai-Ai and her non-showbiz boyfriend Gerald Sibayan already had wedding talks. They would not, however, have a double wedding with Vic and Pauleen.
“Ay, ayoko nga [maki–double wedding]! Huwag na. Siyempre ano ‘yun ni Bossing (Vic)… Kumbaga, moment niya ‘yun. Huwag nating agawin,” she asserted.
(Oh, I don’t want a double wedding! No. Of course it’s Bossing’s… It’s like, it’s his moment. Let’s not steal it from him.)
“Sabi ko nga, si Gerald kasi… lalaking–lalaki… Siyempre gusto niya magwowork siya. Gusto niya mag–ipon para sa kasal namin. ‘Yung normal na lalaki na maayos,” she added, noting that she wanted a grand wedding the third time around.
(Like I said, Gerald is… a real man… Of course he wants to have a job first. He wants to earn and be the one who spends for our wedding. He’s a normal man who’s decent.)
