Ai-Ai hoping to surpass records of 'No Other Woman,' 'Benjamin'

“Enteng ng Ina Mo” lead star Ai-Ai delas Alas is hoping to surpass the records set by Star Cinema blockbuster hits “No Other Woman” and “Praybeyt Benjamin" this year.

In an interview with ANC’s “Dateline Philippines,” delas Alas said no person would not want to set a new record in Philippine cinema.

However, she said she would not feel bad if her film does not surpass the earnings of the two Star Cinema hits.

“Hopefully, sana naman. Kung ano ang ibinigay ni God sa atin, oo naman. Pero ang pinakamahalaga at least napasaya namin ang mga tao ngayong Pasko,” she said.

With Best Actress awards under her belt for her “Tanging Ina Mo Last Na ‘To” movie, delas Alas revealed she also wants to earn the same recognition this year.

“Naku, siyempre sino naman ang ayaw na may award? Kung ako [ang manalo] eh ‘di salamat po. Kung hindi ako eh ganoon talaga ang buhay. Siyempre hindi naman lahat ibinibigay sa iyo. Pero masaya ako kung ako,” she said.

Reports indicated that “Enteng ng Ina Mo” is the biggest Metro Manila Film Festival opener.

The movie earned P38.5 million during the festival’s first showing day.

Meanwhile, delas Alas thanked everyone who lined up to watch her comedy film on Christmas day.

“Thank you po sa lahat ng mga nanood at lahat ng sumusuporta at lahat po ng manonood pa at lahat po ng pumila at sumakit ang paa para po pumila. Maraming maraming maraming salamat po,” she said.
