Queen of All Media Kris Aquino apologized to the senatorial candidate Joel Villanueva for questioning the latter’s sincerity to the late Pres. Noynoy Aquino.
On March 6, via an Instagram post, Aquino admitted she and Villanueva had an exchange of private messages, where the former doubted the latter’s sincerity to former Pres. Noynoy Aquino.
“P.S. Last week, I know I hurt Sen @joelvillanueva’s feelings. Although it was a private exchange of texts, publicly I’d like to sincerely apologize. Sobrang napahiya ako dahil sa isang “program” that listed speakers & guests. I’m sorry Sen @joelvillanueva, maling mali ako for questioning your sincerity regarding my brother.
“Noy- pasensya ka na very protective of his memory- bumabawi kasi sa mga pagka-brat ko sa kanya… Para sa kay Noy? I’m really trying my best to learn #humility na matagal nyang wish for me,” she captioned.

Villanueva has not yet issued an official statement regarding Aquino’s public apology.
The senatorial candidate was the former director-general of Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) during Aquino’s administration.
Despite being endorsed by Vice Presidential aspirant Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte Carpio in the proclamation rally on Bulacan, Villanueva is included in the senatorial slate of Presidential aspirant VP Leni Robredo and Sen. Kiko Pangilinan tandem.
