AiAi delas Alas explains 'Buhay Amerika': 'Dahil kay Gerald'

AiAi delas Alas appeared on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Friday, where she apologized to Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte as well as explained their decision to migrate to the US.

According to AiAi, they decided to move to the US because she has already petitioned her husband Gerald Sibayan.

"Una sa lahat, dahil kay Gerald kasi pinetition ko na siya duon," began AiAi, who is a green card holder since 2015.

"Nung araw, ayaw niya magpa-petition kasi si Gerald, 'di 'ba nag-piloto siya so gusto niya, mag-piloto siya dito."

But right after graduation, lockdown was declared.

"So pumayag na siyang i-petition ko siya. Kasi sa totoo lang din, dito hindi niya ko kayang buhayin."

"At least sa Amerika, kaya niya akong buhay?n nang kumportable," she added.

AiAi also works as an activity director at a facility for the elderly in San Francisco, which she likes because she's able to compensate for her shortcomings with her biological and adoptive parents.

"Yung mga pagkukulang ko sa biological at adoptive mom ko, nabibigay ko duon lahat," she said.

In the episode, AiAi also talked about her absence when her adoptive mom passed away. 

According to AiAi, they were even able to say exchange "I love you's." 

"Sobra kaming nagmahalan. Tapos lumipad ako. Paglipad ko, namatay na siya kinabukasan. Parang inintay niya lang ako," she said adding her mom doesn't like seeing her cry. "Kaya siguro ayaw niya nandito ako kasi alam niya, sobra akong iiyak." — LA, GMA Integrated News
