Vice Ganda, Kris no longer working together

THE withdrawal of Kris Aquino in the Metro Manila Film Festival entry of Star Cinema surprised her co-star Vice Ganda, but the comedian said he respects the decision of the Queen of All Media.

Kris confirmed recently on Twitter that she won't be able to star opposite Vice Ganda in "Sisteraka."

Vice said Kris decided to withdraw from the film due to health reason. Kris can't do a film, a morning talk show and a primetime series all at the same time, the comedian said.

Vice said he was the last person to know of the news because he was in the United States when Kris made the announcement.

Star Cinema has yet to comment on the matter.

Comedy Queen Ai-Ai delas Alas is being rumoured to replace her best friend on the film but Star Cinema has not made such announcement.

Ai-Ai and Vice had differences in the past but the comedian said whatever issues they have in the past are now "settled."

"Okay kami ni Ms. Ai-ai. Nagkasama kami sa "Showtime" tapos sa party ni Direk Wenn (Deramas). Okay kami kasi parang walang nangyaring anything. Masaya kaming nagkikita, nagchichikahan," he said.

The comedian revealed that he's afraid to do something that will ruin again his renewed friendship with the Comedy Queen. He said he'll be working hard to earn her trust.

"Siguro maiilang ako (sa una) kasi natatakot ako sa kanya, nahihiya. Sabi ko nga, kababati lang namin at natatakot akong magkamali. Ayoko siyang ma-offend, ayokong magalit siya sa akin," he said.

"Gusto ko magkaroon kami ng magandang relasyon. Kung gaano kami ka-okay ay gusto ko lang pangalagan," he added.

Vice admitted that it will take time before his friendship with Ai-Ai returns to normal but said he is willing to wait.

"Siguro wag lang munang madaliin. Gusto ko dumating yung panahon na pwede ko siyang tanungin ng 'Ms. Ai-ai ano pong number ninyo?' Yung magte-text kami," he ended.

The upcoming project is rumored to be directed by Wenn Deramas, a close friend of both Vice and Ai-Ai. (Sunnex)
