Compared to her past concerts that can be rowdy and risque, she says she’ll be more well behaved this time. “Siempre, may mga pari at madreng manonood, baka maloka sila kapag hinaluan ko ng kalaswaan,” she says. “Pero siempre, may mga patawa pa rin dahil kailangang aliwin ang audience.”
The concert for the Blessed Virgin is also her way of saying thanks for a fruitful year in her life and career. “Marami talaga akong dapat ipagpasalamat sa taong ito,” she says. “Sa paglipat ko sa GMA, nakagawa ako ng soap and now, my two new shows ‘CelebriTV’ and ‘Sunday Pinasaya’ are both doing very well. Tapos, after ilang years na wala ako, heto, may entry uli ako sa Metro Manila Filmfest, ‘My Bebe Love’, on Christmas Day na kasama ko pa si Bossing Vic Sotto at ang AlDub, kaya wala talaga akong mairereklamo kundi puro thanksgiving na lang. Tiempo nga, Thanksgiving Day na kaya salamat po talaga, Lord and Mama Mary, sa lahat ng mga biyaya.”
You can still get tickets for her concert at MOA and SM ticket outlets. Meantime, Ai Ai is also a hit in her role as Alden’s hilarious Lola Babah in “Eat Bulaga’s” phenomenal Kalyeserye. She’s funny when she speaks with a fake Russian accent sprinkled with Waray words. “Yung Eat Bulaga writers created the character but I invented how she’d appear on screen na parang based sa isang Russian czarina, complete with her makeup and outfit. Masayang-masaya naman ako dahil agad siyang nagustuhan ng audience at maraming natuwa sa kanya kahit maldita talaga ang dating niya, lalo kay Lola Nidora kasi inaapi niya ang apo kong si Alden. Kinarir ko talaga how I’ll portray her kaya nanood ako ng Russian films sa youtube para malaman kung paano sila magsalita. Ayun, nag-click naman kaya salamat talaga sa Panginoon.”
