For Ai Ai delas Alas, closure did not come quietly. It came with clarity, generosity, and a conscious decision to let go.

The comedienne recently appeared on the YouTube show Pinoy Pawnstars, visiting Boss Toyo’s well-known museum in Quezon City to part with two deeply personal items: her engagement ring and wedding ring from her former marriage to Gerald Sibayan. Stored together in a small red jewelry box, the diamond rings symbolized a chapter she is now ready to close for good.

Ai Ai revealed that the wedding ring carried a story of its own, one marked by repeated loss and, in hindsight, quiet warning signs.

“‘Yung wedding ring, three times nawala. Pangatlong beses na niya akong binigyan,” she said. “I think ‘yun ay sign. Sabi niya, ‘Ito, last mo na ito. Kapag winala mo pa ito, hindi na kita ibibili.’”

Selling the rings, she said, was not about bitterness or regret. Instead, Ai Ai framed the moment as an act of release, choosing peace over pain and meaning over memory.

“Para may closure na rin kasi bukod sa ayaw ko na ring maalala, maganda ‘yung closure kasi may kapupuntahan siyang maganda,” she explained.

That “somewhere good” is Life Saver, an organization that supports cancer patients. Ai Ai shared that all proceeds from the sale would be donated to the group, turning something once painful into a source of hope for others.

“‘Yung pain, gagawin kong pag-asa. Part din ito ng closure. ‘Yung mabebentahan nito, itutulong ko sa Life Saver. Honorary member ako. Tumutulong ito sa cancer patients,” she said.

While the end of her marriage in October 2024 was undoubtedly difficult, Ai Ai spoke with emotional maturity and restraint, choosing understanding over resentment.

“Ayaw ko na rin maging bitter. Naiintindihan ko na bata pa siya at magbabago pa siya. Pero may isang bagay lang akong hindi nagustuhan kaya naghiwalay kami.”

Asked about her current love life, the comedienne was straightforward and unguarded.

“Wala na nga akong love life ngayon.”

Negotiations during the episode reflected the emotional weight of the moment. Ai Ai initially asked for ₱350,000 for both diamond rings, but Boss Toyo ultimately purchased them for ₱250,000, a price she accepted not as a loss, but as part of the closure she was seeking.

As the transaction ended, Ai Ai summed up the experience with finality and relief:

“Ito na talaga ang closure of all closures.”

In choosing to let go, Ai Ai delas Alas did more than sell jewelry. She transformed a personal ending into an act of compassion, proving once again that strength can be both quiet and generous, even after heartbreak.
