AI AI DE LAS ALAS is happy to be back to work as one of the judges, along with Lani Misalucha and Christian Bautista, in “The Clash Season 3”. “Antagal din nating nabakante because of the virus, so we’re glad back before the cameras na kami ngayon,” she says.
Last Sunday, to promote the new season of “The Clash”, she did a special number in “All Out Sundays” doing the songs of the Korean girl band BlackPink. It went trending but some folks understandably bashed her for that.
“Huwag na silang ma-shock dahil they’ll now know me as the Oppa Queen of the Philippines,” she jokes.
How does she handle negative feedback like that? “Naku, sanay na ako sa bashers. At least, nag-trending ako, which also happened when I did BlackPink songs before sa ‘The Clash’. Okay lang kahit pagtawanan nila ako. At least napansin ako ng fans nila. Positive thoughts and good vibes na lang.”
When bashers get so nasty, she prays. “I rebuke them, parang si satanas, rebuke agad-agad. Hindi naman ako sumasagot sa mga nega. Sa positive lang ako. Ang bashers today, kahit ano gawin mo, may masasabi pa rin sila, so maski as a judge sa ‘The Clash’, I just practice being myself. Bahala sila sa gusto nilang sabihin.”
A new breed of talented contenders will battle it out to be the next singing sensation in “The Clash Season 3” starting this Saturday on GMA-7.

“Nasa ‘new normal’ tayo kaya we have the opportunity to do things differently and better,” she says. “The Clash is always big, and I’m sure it will be even bigger ngayon dahil sa mahuhusay na contestants. Hindi lang ako excited, I am ablaze with energy para sa “The Clash Season 3!”
