Comedian and actress AiAi Delas Alas revealed that she decided to revoke the green card petition of her ex-husband, Gerald Sibayan, following their separation. In an interview on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda earlier this week, the Kapuso star explained that doing so was part of her process of moving on from their past relationship.

A green card, officially called a Permanent Resident Card, grants an individual the legal right to live and work permanently in the United States. It also serves as a pathway to applying for U.S. citizenship after meeting the required years of residency.

The comedienne clarified that her decision wasn't made out of impulse, admitting that she initially had no plans of doing it.

Aiai previously mentioned that she had no plans to revoke her petition for her ex-husband's green card despite their separation. However, after some reflection, she eventually decided to withdraw it.

Aiai said, Nung una, ayoko talagang gawin 'yun. Pero nung bandang huli, naisip ko, parang ayoko naman maging santa or something kasi parang 'yun na lang ba 'yung -- kahit pangit, 'yun na lang ba 'yung ganti ko para sa sarili na nasaktan ako."

In the interview, Aiai revealed that Gerald's green card was revoked around the same time she filed for divorce. While the final results of the divorce have yet to be released, the comedian confirmed that her ex-husband is no longer under her residency petition.

When asked if she has fully moved on from her past relationship, Aiai admitted that she's still in the process of healing, though she occasionally still gets emotional about it.

“I've moved on-trinatry ko mag move on pero hindi pa siguro yung totally healed na healed. Minsan, naalala ko pa rin. Minsan, naiiyak pa rin ako pero nandun na ako sa kumbaga 80 percent medyo okay na ako,” she admitted.

She also shared that what caught her off guard was how sudden the breakup happened.

“Kasi 'yung process nung pagkawala niya, 'yun 'yung nabigla ako, hindi ako handa. Ready ako subconsciously pero yung nangyari na, kumbaga sa tugtog wala sa tiyempo. Hindi kami nag-aaway, wala kaming pinag-aawayan. Basta na lang ayoko na, alis na ako, parang ganun so doon ako medyo nagulat,” she expressed.

Still, Aiai said she has now found peace within herself and is embracing a more positive outlook on life.

“Ako ngayon ay at peace. Sabi ko nga, meron akong legacy of peace. Gusto mo lahat ng magiging pananaw mo sa buhay puro positive. Sabi nga pain was my teacher and healing is my revolution,” she ended.
