In a recent press conference, Aiai delas Alas recently received asked whether she would be willing to manage Kris Aquino’s career. Aiai used to have a rift between her and Kris.
She currently manages hip-hop group Ex Battalion. On the other hand, Cornerstone currently co-manages Kris’ career.
Media and press wondered whether Aiai would be willing to manage Kris’ career. Aiai remains busy for Ex Battalion but if she ever finished planning her next step for Ex B, she could talk to Kris about her management.
“Ah… Hahaha! E, busy ako sa Ex B… Siguro next year pag na-(plan) ko na ang Ex B, puwede na kaming mag-usap tungkol sa management.”
Now that Aiai became a talent manager, she confessed that she had a sudden rush of appreciation for her former manager, Boy Abunda. She also added that Boy used to manage a lot of talents.
“Tinext ko nga siya, e, sabi ko, ‘Ama, na-appreciate kita,’ kasi mas marami kami sa kanya. Andami namin… Eto anim lang. Kay Boy, hindi lang kami anim, siguro nasa 30 kami or 50 kami lahat. Iba pa yung grupo, iba pa yung solo, iba pa yung babae, iba pa yung lalaki…”
At times, a group consisting of all-male members become too much handle. So, Aiai would ask Boy for an advice and tips on how to manage them.
“Pag kunwari nagloloka-lokahan ang mga boys. Sinasabi naman niya sa akin, ‘Sabihin mo sa kanila, hayaan mo sila.'”
Aiai continued that Boy would laugh at him. She also wondered how managing is actually hard.
“So, tawa lang siya nang tawa sa ‘kin. Naisip ko, mas mahirap palang mag-manage. Pero ako, medyo nadalian ako sa part na parang ako yung nanay nila, kaya parang medyo balanced lang.”
