AI AI DE LAS ALAS got her second Box Office Queen Award from the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Foundation last Tuesday night for “Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na ‘To”. Her first one was for the first “Tanging Ina” movie in 2003. She also got two Comedy Box Office Queen Awards for “Cute ng Ina Mo” in 2007 and “Best Friends Forever” and “Tanging Pamilya” in 2009. How important is this to her? “Very important,” she says. “Gusto ko kasing nilalagyan ako ng korona, e. At ang korona ko, mas malaki pa sa tiara ng misis ni Prince William. Gusto ko nga sana, yung kasinlaki ng mga nananalong Miss Universe, kaya lang, sobra palang bigat sa ulo niyon. And take note, ang mga kasama kong tumanggap ng awards noong Tuesday, the likes of Kim Chiu and
Bea Alonzo kaya feeling ko, magkakasing-edad lang kami. Pero ang totoo, late bloomer na ako nang magbida kaya ako na pinakamashonda sa mga binigyan ng awards. Sabi sa Star Cinema, mahigit P1 billion na raw ang kinita ng movies ko with them kasi maski sa abroad, hit ito, kaya ang beauty ko ngayon, one billion peso actress ang drama. O kaya nyo yon?”
Her career remains on a roll. She’s a judge in “Pilipinas Got Talent”, is also in “Maria la del Barrio” and will go to China in June to tape her new soap with Kim Chiu, “Binondo Girl”. In July, she’s in a U.S. concert tour with Pops Fernandez. What happened to her romance with Aljur Abrenica? “Ayun, he greeted me Happy Mother’s Day. How sad, parang madir lang palang turing niya sa’kin, walang pagnanasa sa Flawless kong beauty.”
Why did Flawless get Ai Ai as their newest endorser? “She’s perfect for our ‘Ageless and Sexy Promise’ campaign as she maintained her youthful looks even if she’s now a mom of three teeners,” says Flawless boss Rubby Sy. “It’s like she has discovered the key to staying young, as seen in her billboards.”
What Flawless products does she use? “I use their Age Defying products like Flawless Age Defy Cream that removes wrinkles, Skin Protect Cream against sun damage, Collagen Soap to firm up the skin, and Skin Lift tablets every night to make look young. I also have Age Defy Facials to clean my face,” says Ai Ai.
