Ai-Ai Delas Alas and James Yap met at the set of Kung Fu Divas movie

In an interview with ABS-CBN reporters on March 21 during Ai-Ai Delas Alas’ contract renewal with the Kapamilya network, the Queen of Comedy shared that she was surprised that basketball star James Yap was on the set of her new movie Kung Fu Divas. The reason why he was there was because of the birthday celebration of a common friend.

“Oo, dumalaw siya kasi birthday nun nung assistant ni Dondon Monteverde. Nung nagkakagulo silang ganyan, sabi ko, ‘Sino yun?’ ’Si James Yap.’ ‘James Yap na totoong James Yap?’ ‘Oo, totoo nandito siya.’ Sabi ko, ‘Weh?’ Parang ‘di ako makapaniwala na nandiyan siya sa set. Sabi niya, ‘My friend!’ Ako naman, ‘My friend you’re here!’ Tapos picture taking kami ni lolo. Best friend ko siya. E di ba sabi nga niya BFF niya ako sa Instagram,” she said.

Asked how Kris Aquino reacted about her unexpected encounter with the basketball player, the comedy queen explained that it should not be a big issue, adding that it’s better to be friends with everyone.

“Wala, okay lang. Alangan naman paalisin ko siya (James) sa set. Hindi ko naman birthday yun. Sabi nga ni Vice Ganda dati, masarap yung walang kaaway. Puro positive lang. And noon pa naman niloloko ko na si James eh, ‘My friend, ba’t mo ba ako inaaway? Bati na tayo.’” It could be remembered back in 2007 that the comedienne and James had a gap after Ai-Ai allegedly made an insensitive comment regarding the marital problem of James with now ex-wife Kris.

She also shared that herself and James have remained on good terms through the past years, “Oo nagkakatextan kami. Parang, ‘Uy may game pala kayo ngayon. Pwede manood?’ ‘O sige friend ilang ticket?’ Mga ganong chika.” she said.

The comedienne further added that she and James became friends because of Kris. “Dati pa kami [magkaibigan]. Kasi nung minsan nagusap sila ni Kris sa phone nung nagshu-shoot kami, parang andito kami sa Quezon City, sabi niya, ‘O eto si friendship.’ Pinasa sa akin. Sabi ko, ‘Sino ba ito? My friend, bakit mo ako inaaway, bati na tayo.’ Tapos tawa ng tawa. Dun nag-start.” recounts Delas Alas.
