- Kris Aquino brought warm food and relief goods to Marikina flood victims.
- She did this despite doctor’s warnings for her to bed-rest.
- She revealed that Angel Locsin suggested she bring warm meals.
Kris Aquino recently went to H. Bautista Elementary School in Marikina City to give warm food and relief goods to the victims of the recent flood. She, however, was warned by her doctor to bed-rest due to low blood pressure. Despite said warnings, she still went ahead and did what she could to help.
Instagram post
Kris started her Instagram post, noting the similarities between the name of the school in Marikina and the name of her ex-boyfriend, Quezon City mayor Herbert Bautista. She also shared why she chose to give back to the said community.
“Kalurx- tadhana nga naman (yung name ng school 😅)… I am from the 3rd district of QC. Nagtanong po ako sa mayor namin kung meron pang matutulungan- no need na daw. Called my friend, Cong Bolet Banal- he said: “Kris, si Cong Miro ng Marikina ang nagulpi ang area- kapitbahay natin.””
Kris revealed the efforts of Alvin Gagui and Yaya Bincai Luntayao to collect products to give away.
“We communicated, inubos ni Alvin & Bincai ang Ariel, Pantene, Safeguard, Cheez Whiz, and Lucky Me from both Pure Gold & SM Hypermart. Sinabi kong try namin magdala ng mainit na hapunan- malayo ang branches ko ng Chowking so dun sa malapit na branch ako nakapag bulk order. May ready stock kami sa house na Unipak & Healthy Family.”
Kris admitted that she was told not to personally hand out the donations. She, however, remembered her mother teaching her about personal effort. She also didn’t need a political position to help others.
“Sinabihan akong pahatid na lang kasi di pa malakas ang katawan. Pero turo ng mom, sa gitna ng sakuna, mahalaga ang personal na effort. Worth it po kasi naparamdam ko sa kanila- hindi kailangang naka posisyon para magbigay ng tulong at maki-simpatya sa mga kapwa Pilipino.
“It was my honor to give back to my country. And w/ no political agenda (bawal po sa endorsement contracts)- itutuloy ko po ang mag-share ng blessings na tinatanggap namin ni kuya josh & bimb. God bless you all. #lovelovelove 🇵🇭 (Song credit: i will be here by Gail Blanco from my Universal Records album My Heart’s Journey)”
