As early as now, Aiai Delas Alas is already preparing for her and husband Gerald Sibayan's plan to have a baby in 2020.

In a recent chat with Comedy Queen Aiai, she mentioned that she intends to conceive a child naturally.

“Gusto ko ako, e, para feel na feel,” said the 54-year-old Kapuso star, who was recently hailed as best actress in 39th Oporto International Film Festival.

The Sunday Pinasaya star previously admitted that she had her eggs collected and frozen so she can have her baby with her 25-year-old husband.

However, Aiai said, “Normal muna, pero kapag hindi kinaya, e, di IVF.”

As part of her preparation, Aiai does workout almost every day.

“Pagod nga ako ngayon dahil sa gym,” she said in jest.

Most of the exercises she is doing now are to strengthen her back.

She further described, “Super naggi-gym ako talaga. Pinapalakas yung back ko talaga para kapag nagbuntis ako, hindi ako mahirapan.”

The comedy actress also follows a strict diet, which consists of only organic food, which she has been doing for more than three years.

Asked about her husband, Aiai joked, “Prepared na siya!

"Kaya nga siya nagpipiloto, para meron kaming makain.”

Gerald is currently taking his professional pilot training at Asian Institute of Aviation in Makati City and is expected to finish it next year.

Although Gerald is financially preparing for their baby, Aiai said she does not want her husband to be the sole provider in their family when she gets pregnant.

“Kaya super work ako kasi, siyempre, yung mga umaasa sa akin, kung one year akong magpapahinga, kunwari lang kung mabuo, one year akong [walang work].

“Gusto ko may pera din ako, siyempre, ayaw ko rin namang umasa sa kaniya,” she related.

Talking about work, Aiai said she will take a leave from Sunday Pinasaya when she gets pregnant.

“Depende sa pregnancy ko, kunwari, delicate at hindi ako puwedeng tumayo, one year talaga.

“Pero kapag puwede naman, kapag fifth month, kapag buo na siya, puwede naman akong mag-Sunday Pinasaya. Mami-miss ko 'yang show,” she said.

Meanwhile, Aiai has four children--Sancho from the late theater actor Rey Maltezo dela Cruz, and Sean and Sophia from her former partner Miguel Vera, and her adopted son Seth Andrei.

What was their reaction when told them about the baby plan?

“Kaya mo pa ba?” Aiai recalled laughing.

Then, she quickly added, “Kaya ko, bakit naman hindi. Okay naman 'yon, naku-cute-an sila. Si Sancho ang talagang gusto may baby ako.”

Following the names of her children, Aiai revealed the names she and Gerald want to give their future baby: Sandrine Grain if a girl and Sargent Gail if a boy.

“Yung G kasi si Gerald gusto niya may 'G.'

“Ako naman, di ba, lahat ng anak ko letter 'S'--Sancho, Sean, Sophia, Seth Andrei, yung aso ko, Sailor.”

While waiting for 2020, the comedy actress will be focusing on doing movies. She will be part of Tekla's launching movie under Backyard Productions; S.O.N.S. (Sons of Nanay Sabel) under Viva Films; a project with Pops Fernandez titled Feelinnials; and another planned movie to be directed by Joven Tan.
