MANILA, Philippines - Comedians Ai Ai delas Alas and Vice Ganda have let bygones be bygones, smoking the proverbial peace pipe during the birthday celebration of ABS-CBN boss Cory Vidanes on May 15 in a bar in Makati.
Ai Ai and Vice were caught on cam together during the party, as shown in the videos aired on “TV Patrol” on May 16.
“Tita Cory I love you. Alam mong mahal kita,” came Ai Ai’s message for the birthday celebrator that evening.
In a report posted by PEP the same day, Ai Ai was asked how her reconciliation with the popular stand-up comedian happened.
Not wanting to divulge details, Ai Ai said, “Ay, ewan! Basta lang…bati na lang kami.”
Last January, Vice Ganda admitted there was a rift between him and Ai Ai, as reported in newspapers. The snubbing incident, which happened inside a hotel during the Christmas season, was apparently true.
“Totoo pong nangyari 'yon na hindi po kami nagpansinan ni Ms. Ai Ai sa isang lugar. ‘Di kami nagpansinan, ‘di ko siya pinansin, ‘di niya ako pinansin at walang pansinang naganap kasi mayroon po kaming pinagdadaanan," Vice Ganda revealed on “The Buzz.”
He hoped then that the issue between them would be resolved.
"Mayroon po kaming isyu na kinakailangang ma-resolba at nawa'y maresolba sa takdang panahon,” he said, adding that nobody has the right to pass judgment on them as “kami lang ni Ms. Ai Ai ang nakakaalam doon."
Meanwhile, actors Richard Gomez and Joey Marquez recalled their early beginning as ABS-CBN talents during the party of Ms. Vidanes.
Richard vividly remembers, “My first TV guesting [in a Kapamilya TV show] si tita Cory ‘yung P.A. (production assistant) namin noon.” Richard also added, “Through the years tita Cory has been very nice to me since so she’s very special.”
Joey, who shared with Richard stellar credits in the sitcom “Palibhasa Lalaki,” recalls, “‘Yung samahan namin sa “Palibhasa” [ay] para kaming naglalaro [lang] at magkakaibigan lahat.”
Among the ABS-CBN executive’s well wishers were Vice Ganda, Iza Calzado, Vina Morales, Gina Pareno, Randy Santiago, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Kim Chiu, Xian Lim, Christian Bautista, Rayver Cruz, Cristine Reyes, and Ai Ai delas Alas who came with boyfriend Jed Alvin Salang.
"Tita Cory, sana mas marami pang blessing dumating sa buhay niyo, and ingat po kayo palagi, maraming salamat po sa inyo," Rayver said.
"Thank you for being such a nice boss to us," Cristine said.
Coney Reyes, who starred in her own drama series on ABS-CBN, gave her message: “[My wish for her is] to change for the better. She’s so sweet. I just pray that she will have more strength, good health, so much peace, so much love, so much joy and the wisdom to carry all on what God has purposed her to do in her life.”
