Sharon Cuneta Commends Ai-Ai delas Alas' Humility

TV host-actress Sharon Cuneta couldn’t be more proud that in spite of her “BFF’s (best friend forever)” thriving career, actress-comedienne Ai Ai delas Alas has maintained her humility through the years.



In a letter she gave “The Buzz,” which delas Alas read on the show’s Aug. 21 airing, Cuneta wrote, “Nakakahumble ang pagiging humble mo, BFF. Kaya naman marapat na idolohin ka kasi kahit napaka-successful mo na ay mapagkumbaba ka pa din.”



To which delas Alas replied in jest, “Nako nakakahiya naman,” and added, “oo kasi diba para kakorte ko naman yung ugali ko, mapagkumbaba,” while touching her chin.



Considering herself blessed for having found a true friend in delas Alas, “The Biggest Loser Pinoy Edition” host said, “Eto lang ang gusto kong sabihin. Una, hindi ko akalain na magkakatrabaho, makikilala at mamahalin kita nang tunay na tunay.



“Pangalawa, maraming salamat sa totoong friendship na hanggang ngayon ay wala pa rin akong nakikitang dahilan na pagdudahan kasi alam ko hindi lang tayo friends sa showbiz pero sa totoong buhay,” Cuneta said.



In closing, the Megastar expressed her love for her "BFF" and noted that all the blessings coming delas Alas’ way were well-deserved.



"Sana magkatrabaho pa tayo. Maraming salamat sa iyo, BFF kasi napakasarap mong katrabaho at walang problema kapag pinapatawa mo ako. May God continue to bless you at lahat ng bigay ng Panginoon natin sa iyo, you truly deserved. I love you," she said.



Delas Alas, who was reading the message in tears, responded to the heartfelt message saying, "BFF alam mo naman kapag sinasabi ko sa iyo, kapag malungkot ka lang at may gusto kang sabihin sa akin eh pupuntahan kita palagi."



"I love you, sana magkasama ulit tayo," she enthused directly to Cuneta.



Cuneta and delas Alas worked together in the 2009 comedy film "Best Friends Forever" wherein their characters, similar to what they are in real life, were best friends.



The “My Binondo Girl” star explained that their term of endearment, “BFF,” was derived from their film’s title as it was the time when their friendship grew deeper. She recounted however that prior to the film, she and Cuneta were already close, but working together, “doon kami naging mas close, tapos sa totoong buhay, tinodo na namin,” delas Alas explained.
