His father’s sister, Justa Delas Alas, became the adoptive mother of Aiai Delas Alas . Aiai’s story, Justa wants to have her own child even though she is an old woman. When he found out that Aiai was a girl, he persuaded the father to give the baby to him instead. At first, the biological mother, Gloria Hernandez, did not agree, but in the end, the two reconciled and agreed to Justa’s request. Aiai also mentioned that Gloria apologized to him and explained the whole story about her adoption.
Orphan
It is said that Aiai Delas Alas did not find it difficult to accept the news that he was just adopted by his adoptive mother, Justa Delas Alas. She learned the truth when Justa’s colleagues questioned her about how she became a mother even though she was single. As a child, Aiai also wondered and immediately asked her mother, who admitted that she was adopted. Even though he accepts the truth and loves Justa, sometimes Aiai is still hurt by the truth whenever his adoptive mother scolds him. “It’s like I accept (that I’m adopted) but I can’t accept it when he scolds me and that’s when he beats me, when he hurts me. It comes to the back of my mind, “Maybe if it’s my mother I’m me, I won’t be beaten,’ ” he said.
Strict
Aiai Delas Alas’ story is that his adoptive mother, Justa Delas Alas, is strict. It’s also bad to get angry because it hurts to say words and hit Aiai hard.
