Ai Ai De Las Alas Wants To Take Ward Jiro Manio To Meet His Dad In Japan This Christmas

AI AI DE LAS ALAS is so thankful that her new show on GMA-7, “Sunday PinaSaya”, continues to enjoy high ratings on Sunday noon and she gets great feedback from viewers who are entertained by their comedy sketches. Not only that, she will also soon be seen every Saturday in the new show that will replace “Startalk” as the new co-host of Lolit Solis, Joey de Leon and Ricky Lo.

“Ang dami talagang blessings kaya panay ang pasasalamat ko kay Lord at sa GMA,” she says.
Ai Ai continues to give back the blessings she gets by helping other people. The fund-raising concert she’s producing for singing priests to help the construction of Kristong Hari church in Fairview is definitely going to be held at the Mall of Asia on November 23, in time for her birthday. She’s also elated that her ward, teen actor Jiro Manio, is now on the road to full recovery.

“Nakikilala na niya ako at Mama ang tawag niya sa akin,” she beams. “Bumabalik na yung memory niya at naiiyak ako sa nakikitang mga positibong pagbabago sa kanya. Naalala na niyang noong makita siyang pagala-gala sa NAIA, may dala siyang bag. So we’re wondering kunsaan napunta ang bag niyang yun.”

She wants to help Jiro to be reconciled with his Japanese dad in Japan. “Plano ko siyang dalhin doon sa Christmas para magkita sila ng ama niya. Nagpapatulong nga ako sa department of foreign affairs na mabigyan siya ng passport and, later, visa to Japan. Magiging hectic ang December ko dahil may entry kami ni Bossing Vic Sotto sa Metro filmfest, pero isisingit ko yung trip sa Japan with Jiro. But I have to be back here rin agad kasi kasama ako sa New Year’s eve presentation ng GMA to greet the incoming 2016. Pinangako ko ring dadalawin ko yung mga anak ko sa California this Christmas season so bahala na si Lord, sana magawa ko lahat.”
