In case you need a refresher: In March, a clip of an old Viva movie, Baliktaran: Si Ace at Si Daisy went viral thanks to a super lutang character.
In the clip, a boy shouts out to a group of women playing majong, calling the attention of Aling Vicky because her child fell in the sewer. In a panic, Aling Vicky leaves the group. And just as quickly returns.
When her friends ask her why, she says she forgot something. When they prodded what, Aling Vicky responds: “Hindi nga pala ako si Aling Vicky.”
Sabaw, right?
Back then, Palanca award-winning author Eric Cabahug told us that the lady who played Aling Vicky, Hermie Go, is actually a Viva employee; her cameo in the 2001 movie was a first of many.
But three months later, cameos aren't all she has. Because Hermie Go — Aling Vicky — now has a book! Published by VRJ Publishing, Mga Kwentong Sabaw ni Aling Vicky has hit bookstores nationwide.

“Isang koleksyon ng nakakatuwang sari-saring kwentong sabaw moments,” VRJ described the book in its social media pages.
According to Eric, he didn't write it but the book and even its hilarious title were his ideas.
Excuse us as we run to the nearest bookstore. — LA, GMA News
