The entertainment industry is full of shifting alliances, but some bonds remain deep despite years of silence. During a media conference for her upcoming film Batang Paco, comedienne Ai-Ai delas Alas revealed that she recently attempted to reconnect with her former best friend, Kris Aquino.

Delas Alas shared that she tried to send a message to the "Queen of All Media," though the gesture has yet to be acknowledged. “Actually, nag-reach out ako sa kanya,” she told reporters. She guessed that the lack of a reply wasn't a snub, but likely a technicality. “Hindi ko alam kung nagbago na siya ng phone,” she added with a smile.

The two were once inseparable "friendships" during the height of their careers, even starring together in the box-office hit Sisterakas in 2012. However, a falling out in the mid-2010s led to a long period of estrangement. While the exact details of their rift remain a mystery, Ai-Ai made it clear that she has moved on from the drama.

“Huwag na natin pag-usapan ‘yun. Sana okay siya. Wala na ‘yun. Let’s all move on, past na ‘yun,” Ai-Ai stressed, shifting the focus to well-wishes for Kris, who is currently undergoing intensive medical treatment for several autoimmune conditions.

For Ai-Ai, the bond they shared during their prime is something she will always value. “Si Kris ay naging part ng buhay ko. She’s my friendship. She’ll [always] be my friendship kahit anong mangyari,” she said.

Currently, Ai-Ai is busy promoting Batang Paco, a film directed by Rechie del Carmen and co-starring Empoy Marquez, set for release on February 18. Meanwhile, Kris Aquino recently shared updates about her health, including a struggle with deep vein thrombosis, and her search for an indoor swimming pool to aid in her recovery while she remains in the hospital.

Ai-Ai delas Alas is celebrated as the "Queen of Comedy," particularly for her record-breaking Ang Tanging Ina franchise. Kris Aquino is the "Queen of All Media" and the daughter of democracy icons Ninoy and Cory Aquino. Their friendship was a cornerstone of Philippine pop culture in the early 2000s, often showcasing a humorous and supportive dynamic that fans adored before they hit a rocky patch in their relationship.

While Ai-Ai is looking to the past with kindness, she has also been making headlines for major changes in her personal life and career.

Following her recent split from husband Gerald Sibayan, Ai-Ai confirmed that she took legal steps regarding his immigration status in the United States. The comedienne admitted that the process was painful but necessary for her to achieve a sense of closure. She has since been open about her journey of healing and starting anew as a single woman.

In a move that surprised many fans, Ai-Ai visited the famous "Pinoy Pawnstars" shop to sell her wedding ring to Boss Toyo. She explained that she didn't want the item in her possession anymore as she moved forward from her past marriage. The transaction was seen as a symbolic act of letting go, allowing her to focus entirely on her upcoming projects and personal happiness.
