Chloe San Jose took a swipe at Ai-Ai delas Alas amid the latter’s separation from her husband, with the former stressing that “what you do to others will come right back at you 10x.”
It can be recalled that Delas Alas chimed in on the public rift between San Jose and her Olympic gold medalist boyfriend Carlos Yulo, on the one hand, and his mom Angelica Yulo, on the other, in September.
Delas Alas expressed her support for Angelica at the time and advised San Jose, “Kung wala ‘yung nanay niya, wala kang darling ngayon. Kaya girl, huwag mo siyang aawayin. At tsaka hindi ka pa asawa, girl. Girlfriend ka pa lang.”
(If it weren’t for his mom, you wouldn’t have a darling now. So girl, do not quarrel with her. Also, you’re not his wife yet. You’re just his girlfriend.)
Months later in November, after Delas Alas confirmed her separation from Gerald Sibayan, San Jose shared a social media card on Facebook about the veteran comedian’s advice to her.
“Back to you, mamang,” San Jose said in the caption. “Not to make fun of your situation but what you do to others will come right back at you 10x. It’s just the universe’s law.”
The post cannot be immediately seen on San Jose’s Facebook page, but screenshots of it have already been re-uploaded on social media.

San Jose then confirmed that she indeed made the post, although she clarified that it was only shared privately. She issued the confirmation in response to several netizens bombarding her comments section.
“Why didn’t I make the post public? Because I do not involve myself in other people’s private lives publicly (especially without understanding and knowing the full story) and contribute to you all’s clown and fake entertainment,” she said.
“It’s beyond my control that someone took a screenshot of what was intended as a ‘private’ post,” she continued. “Now, let’s consider if I had posted it publicly. My caption was neither derogatory nor offensive in any way. So, why the outrage?”
The social media personality further noted that it is “more cowardly” to talk about other people publicly without addressing them directly in private.
“The true courage, ‘matapang’ and meaningful discussions take place offline, not on the internet,” she added.

Meanwhile, a private Facebook account under Delas Alas’ daughter, Sophia, left a comment on San Jose’s recent Facebook post.
“Matapang ka? Public mo naman post mo regarding my mom,” Sophia said. “Kita tayo sa Manila? Matapang ka eh.”
(Are you brave? Make your post about my mom public. Let’s meet in Manila? You’re brave, anyway.)
San Jose replied and said, “Messaged you, love,” adding a smiling face with hearts emoji.
