Comedy Queen and award-winning actress Ai-Ai delas Alas is the Artist of the Month for October on Cinema One. The comedienne started off spewing irreverent jokes in Music Box, the comedy bar along Timog Avenue in Quezon City where she initially honed her comic skills along with Arnell Ignacio and Allan K.
In May 2003,
her first lead starrer comedy Ang Tanging Ina, Ai-Ai became the
country's top Comedy Queen. The sleeper hit spent a record of
nine weeks in the theaters, raked in over P250 million and became
the box-office champion in the history of local cinema for over three
years.
She followed this with another hit, Ang Cute ng Ina Mo, in 2006.
Its 2008 sequel and contender in the December Metro Manila Film
Festival Ang Tanging Ina ‘Nyong Lahat ruled the box-office and enjoyed
a five-week screening across the country. In 2009, she admitted she
reached an ultimate high of her career when she shared equal billing
with Megastar Sharon Cuneta in the hit BFF (Best Friends Forever).
With her
name, charisma and appeal certified for the masses, Ai-Ai delas Alas has been chosen to reign over
Cinema One this October. Her movie blocks will kick off on Tuesday Comedy every 9:00 pm with Ang Cute ng Ina Mo on October 6.
This comedy of director Wenn Deramas also stars Luis Manzano, Anne
Curtis, John Lapus and Eugene Domingo. Portraying a mother to a pretty
daughter who wants to know the identity of her father, Ai-Ai goes through
various antics to endear herself to her estranged loved ones.
Pasukob on October 13
is a parody of Star Cinema's cinematic gem Sukob. Ai-Ai acts opposite Rufa Mae Quinto, making them virtually sisters who find humor even in death.
Kapag Tumibok ang Puso (Not One But Twice) on October 20
pits Ai-Ai with Precious Lara Quigaman and Bong Revilla in a
rambunctious tale of exchanged identities that leaves everyone
laughing.
Ang Tanging Ina ‘Nyong Lahat on October 27 makes Ai-Ai the mother who this time treads politics and aims for the Presidency.
On Pop Theater every 11:00 am, Ai-Ai becomes a mother who runs for her life when untamed souls go after them in Shake Rattle and Roll 2K5 on October 19. Volta on October 20 turns Ai-Ai into a super hero when electricity went inside her body. Pinay Pie on October 21 with Joyce Jimenez and Assunta de Rossi make them the trio of women who decide to empower themselves. Pakners on October 22
is where she becomes the loud-mouthed girlfriend of none other than
Fernando Poe, Jr . She haunts him for leaving her just like that. Ang Tanging Ina on October 23
is where she becomes a mother to 12 kids and left by three handsome
husbands who all died, leaving her with the responsibility of rearing
a big household.
