COCO MARTIN AT AI AI DELAS ALAS
AI AI delas Alas has bent the rule she has imposed upon herself.
Without going into specifics, may nasabi siya noon that her second movie for this year (ang Feelennial) would be her last. Kamukat-mukat mo, in too short a time ay nasundan ito ng “And Ai Thank You”, bale her third spanning the second and third quarters of this year.
Tulad ni Sharon Cuneta, ang dahilan ni Ai Ai was to slip into semi-retirement. We were hoping na baka aagarin na nila ng asawang si Gerald Sibayan ang pagkakaroon ng anak through whatever scientific means.
Pero hindi ‘yon ang dahilan.
Mukhang magtatapos ang 2019 nang sasablay si Ai Ai sa kanyang binitiwang pangako. Although may ka-share siya sa stellar billing, she has an upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival entry.
May pamagat na “Tripol Trobol,” give-away na ang pagkakaroon nito ng tatlong bida. Sina Ai Ai at Jennylyn Mercado ang kinuha ni Coco Martin sa pelikulang sana man lang ay pinuhunanan ng mayamang imahinasyon ang pamagat.
Slightly, this cannot be counted as Ai Ai’s major film sa taong ito unlike “Sons of Nanay Sabel,” “Feelennial” and “And I Thank You” who had her as the centerpiece. Sadly though, lagapak ang tatlong pelikulang ‘yon sa takilya.
It’s but reason that Ai Ai bent her self-imposed rule para man lang makabawi-bawi from three consecutive box-office catastrophes. Imposible naman kasing matulad ang “Tripol Trobol” sa sinapit ng tatlong nabanggit batay na rin sa mga nakaraang entries ni Coco sa festival.
At least, mamamaalam si Ai Ai sa 2019 nang nakaiskor man lang ng isang panalo, but since tatlo silang bida sa pelikula, she only gets one-third of the success.
