Thank you to everyone who supported me." "Through the darkest moments, when I felt abandoned and alone, God has been my constant source of strength and comfort. His grace has helped me cope with the pain, giving me the courage to keep going, one day at a time. Thank you, Lord, for never leaving my side," she continued. "Thank you, Lord, for never leaving my side. And to my good son, thank you for not leaving me. And to my friends who also stood by me. God bless you all. Love you, Mama Mary... Love you, Lord," she added. According to an exclusive report by Pep.ph over the weekend, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approved delas Alas' request to revoke her petition on January 8, 2025. The decision, dated March 17, 2025, automatically invalidated Sibayan's green card application. Delas Alas originally filed the petition on July 15, 2021. The actress cited the involvement of a "third party" as the reason for her decision to rescind the petition. The USCIS ruling is final, and Sibayan cannot appeal unless delas Alas files a motion to reopen or reconsider the case. Besides terminating the green card petition, Pep.ph reported delas Alas is also seeking a divorce from Sibayan. Meanwhile, in a recent guest appearance on BB Gandanghari's YouTube talk show, she was asked if she believed that being in a relationship and eventually marrying Sibayan, who is 30 years younger than her was a mistake. She admitted, "Wrong decision." When asked if she felt this way from the beginning, she responded, "Yes." "At first, I just stood by my decision, and I wanted to show the world that age doesn't matter. But it matters," she continued. Moving forward, delas Alas shared that she would prefer a partner closer to her age. "Maybe not necessarily older, but not with such a big age gap. I think 10 years is okay," she said. Five months since their separation, delas Alas revealed that she is still in the process of healing. "I'm still in the recovery stage, but in God's time and by His grace, I'll be okay. I'm done grieving. I think it's just about acceptance now," she noted.
