Ai-Ai delas Alas received support from netizens after making this decision
Comedy Concert Queen Ai-Ai delas Alas explained her decision to withdraw her petition for a green card for her estranged husband Gerald Sibayan.
Ai-Ai and Gerald’s 10-year relationship ended last year. The comedienne emotionally revealed in an interview on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda that Gerald broke up with her through a text message.
At that time, Gerald was in the US while Ai-Ai was in the Philippines to fulfill her showbiz engagements.
During that interview, Ai-Ai delas Alas said that she would not revoke her green card petition for Gerald Sibayan. However, just recently, reports surfaced that the Comedy Concert Queen decided to withdraw her petition for her estranged husband.
Based on the article in PEP, Ai-Ai expressed that she wanted to be truthful and honest in his dealings with US Immigration. Because of this, she would not lie about the status of her marriage.
“Nag-file ako ng divorce so karapatan nilang malaman na hindi ko na gustong makinabang si Gerald sa petisyon ko. Kapag hindi ko na siya asawa, hindi na siya entitled sa mga benepisyo ng isang spouse,” Ai-AI stressed.
She also asked the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to revoke Gerald’s travel and work permit.
Then, the comedienne shared that she was hurt after knowing that Gerald had a mistress, and he left her because of that woman. Ai-Ai said that her estranged husband was the one who left, and she did not hinder him because he cheated.
Ai-Ai delas Alas also shared that when she went back to the US after Gerald Sibayan broke up with her, he had already left their house there.
She also discovered that while they were living together in the US, Gerald would send his personal stuff from their house in Quezon City to his parents’ house. With this, the comedienne realized that her estranged husband had planned everything.
“Tapos nalaman ko pa mula sa mga kasambahay namin na noong nabubuhay pa ang nanay ko, paulit-ulit na sinabi niya, ‘Alam mo kapag nawala na ako, yang sir mo iiwanan niya ang ma’am mo.’ Parang katulad daw sa kasabihan na langaw na nakatungtong sa kalabaw. Iba raw si Gerald kung umasta kapag wala ako sa bahay,” Ai-Ai shared, adding that her mother’s statement became a reality.
As of this writing, Gerald has not yet spoken about the allegations against him and the decision of Ai-Ai to revoke his green card petition.
