Award-winning comedienne Ai-Ai Delas Alas, who is a supporter of presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos Jr., has only nice words for singer-actor Audie Gemora who earlier said that actress Pokwang is more intelligent and funnier than her.
“I always thought Pokwang funnier, more intelligent than Ai-Ai,” Audie said.
Audie then was reacting to a tweet of Pokwang who said: “Good morning…. gusto ko lang malaman n’yong mga nagbabanta mag unfollow sakin hahaha. Go ahead di po ako takot mawalan ng followers! takot akong mawalan ng dangal at karapatan lumaban para sa bayan at para sa aking mga anak at magiging apo. #PinKAngPokienyongLahat #Lenikiko.
At the press briefing for her upcoming series "Raising Mamay" on Tuesday, April 19, Ai-Ai said that she is not affected by the comparison because she doesn't really know Audie.
"In case lang na itanong sa akin ‘yan, pinag-isipan ko talaga, e. Paano ko ba ito masasagot na hindi ako plastik at saka hindi talaga ako yung nagdudunung-dunungan o nagbabait-baitan. Kaya sabi ko talaga, 'Lord, paano ko ba sasagutin ito nang bukal sa puso ko talaga?' she said.
"Kaya sabi ko talaga, 'Lord, paano ko ba sasagutin ito nang bukal sa puso ko talaga? Kasi napaka-blessed na blessed na ako, e. Una, may trabaho ako. May Raising Mamay ako. Wala akong sakit. Hindi ako nagkaroon ng Covid. Ang mga anak ko, walang sakit. May asawa akong mapagmahal. Kumbaga, napakarami kong blessings, and I hope, siya rin.
"I wish him well, and sana maging marami rin siyang blessings para makita niya ang kagandahan ng bawat isa sa atin. Ginawa tayo ni God in our own unique ways so in God’s eyes, iba-iba tayo. Pati nga fingerprints natin iba-iba tayo. So, I think, let’s all speak and claim blessings instead," she also said.
Ai-Ai admitted that she feels sad that friends and families have been divided because of their political differences.
“Isang araw lang naman ito. Pagkatapos nito, magkakaibigan uli kayo, magkakamag-anak kayo. So, I think na mas maganda rin na be careful kayo sa mga sasabihin ninyo o bibitawang salita," she said.
In "Raising Mamay," Ai-Ai plays the role of a mother diagnosed with a regressive behavioral disorder. The drama series will premiere on GMA Network Afternoon Prime on April 25.
