- SAP Bong Go promised that Asec. Mocha Uson will apologize to Kris Aquino.
- However, Mocha declined ever apologizing to Kris.
- Then, Kris went on an Instagram and Facebook Live, telling Mocha she won.
President Rodrigo Duterte recently kissed an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW). Although he got a hefty amount of cheers, many netizens slammed him for asserting the normalization of misogyny and sexual harassment.
As a response to hate comments towards the President, Asec. Mocha Uson decided to involve the late Senator Ninoy Aquino. She posted a video of him receiving a kiss from two different women inside a plane.
This happened a few minutes before he received fatal shots that caused his death. Kris Aquino, the Senator’s youngest child, responded to her father’s involvement in the issue.
Although SAP Bong Go promised that Mocha will apologize, Kris received a strike instead. In response to this, Kris went on an Instagram and Facebook Live to address Mocha’s response.
In the most latest Instagram Live, Kris agreed with Mocha that the issue isn’t about her. However, it is about her deceased father. She also added that she has the right to speak for the late Senator.
“You have a point. It is not about me. It is about my father. But, you have to accept this fact: laman at dugo niya ako at karapatan ko na magsalita para sa kanya.”
Kris acknowledged what Mocha had said in striking against her. She also compared President Rodrigo Duterte’s kiss with her own father’s.
“Sinabi mo, gawain lang ito ng isang lider… Itinumbas sa gawain ng isang lider. Sinong humalik? Ganun kasimple. I will not add further to that. Dahil hindi ko ka-galit si Presidente Duterte, hindi po ako nakisawsaw sa kahit anong issue na bumabatikos sa kanya. Ang sasabihin ko lang, uulitin ko ‘yung words mo: gawain ng isang lider. Ibabalik ko ang words sa’yo, sino ang humalik? End of issue doon.”
Kris added that SAP Bong Go had a press conference where he said that Mocha will apologize.
“Si… Bong Go, nag-press con kanina… ‘yung boss niya na po ang nagsasalita. Sinasabi kong boss niya dahil nagtatrabaho siya sa Malacañang. ‘Yung pinakamalapit, sabihin na nating ‘yung kanang kamay talaga at pinakapinagkakatiwalaan ng Presidente. Siya nagawa niyang mag-sorry sa akin pero si Miss Uson, galit pa. Okay.”
Kris explained her side why she was hurt at Mocha, having involved her dead father. She also added that Mocha chose the video a few minutes before her father was killed.
“I’m offering this… This is for my mom who told me be the better person. This is also for my dad. Alam niyo po kung bakit talaga ako nasaktan. It was the choice of the video. You chose the video taken how many minutes before he was killed, how many minutes before walang kadepe-depensa ang tatay kong pinatay. You say it is not about me. It will always be about me dahil anak ako.”
Kris also wrote that she spoke out for her dead parents. She only wanted to be alright and everyone to go along. However, she kept on getting hurt from their hits.
“Nagsasalita ako bilang anak. Bilang anak na pinalaki para mahalin ang Pilipinas. I am speaking as a daughter and I tried my best. I think, I’ve done my share. I tried to reach out. I humbled myself. Alam mo yung feeling na ikaw na yung binato pero ikaw pa yung nag-aabot ng kamay dahil gusto mong maayos ito? Isa lang naman ang gusto nating lahat, eh. Ang mapabuti ang Pilipinas, mapabuti ang buhay ng bawat Pilipino.”
Kris also addressed Bong in his statement regarding Mocha apologizing to her. Then, she added that she would campaign for Bong.
“Sir Bong, sana… Sana hindi pang-presscon lang. Sana totoo yung sinabi nating intindihin natin si Kris… I have known you for eight years and I said this to you. Binasa mo ‘yung text ko, diba? Hindi mo lang tinuloy. Sinabi ko, you’re a good man and I respect you and I would even campaign for you…”
Kris also surrendered to Mocha as she had already hurt her. Then, she would always receive negative and harsh criticisms whenever she would do something good.
“I want to end this just by saying, ‘Mocha, you win.’ You win because you hurt me and I think that’s what you wanted to do. Nanalo ka dahil patuloy mong inapak-apakan ang pagkatao, ang ala-ala ng dalawang tao na pinakamamahal ko. ‘Yung sinabi kong hindi kita uurungan, nagdasal ako at narealize ko: bakit pa? Kahit anong kabutihan ang ipakita ko sa inyo. Kahit anong pagsubok na maayos natin ito, ayaw niyong ayusin, eh.”
Kris also expressed her gratitude towards people who supported her.
“To everybody who showed us support and love. Again, I thank you. To everybody, sa lahat ng nakaintindi, sa lahat ng umunawa, maraming maraming salamat po.”
Kris continued that people had given her a voice. She then explained why she thinks her voice matters.
“Yung sinabi ko kagabi na may boses ako, na binigyan niyo ako ng boses, totoo naman yun eh. Nagiisip po talaga ako ngayon, sincere ito: Paano ko ba magagamit yung boses na yan? Dahil nakikinig kayo sa akin. Ang Facebook alone, I was told that live has had more than 5 million views. So maybe my voice matters.”
Kris also revealed why she couldn’t run for Senate. She would pray for what would be best for her to do.
“I have contracts that prevent me from running, contracts I just signed. But maybe you need a voice. I’ll pray. I will pray about what is best for me to do. Pero baka mas maganda na hindi nga ako humingi ng posisyon, hindi ako maging elected official para patuloy niyo akong pakinggan. Kasi, kapag naging parte na ako ng Senado, sasabihin niyo, naging ka-gaya lang ako nila.”
Kris also continued that with her social media, everyone remains equal. Everybody had experienced being stepped on.
“Eh ngayon, pantay pantay tayong lahat. Siguro ‘yun, eh. Doon ko tatapusin heto: pantay-pantay tayong lahat. Lahat tayo naranasan na nating maapakan, lahat tayo naranasan nang bastusin ang dignidad natin. Pero hindi ako pinalaki para sumuko kahit gaano ka-pagod pero hindi rin ako pinalaki para mambastos.”
Kris also pleaded SAP Bong as she had already put her hope in him. She didn’t insult President Rodrigo on the whole talk she had.
“Nananawagan nalang ako sa isang taong nakinig sa akin. Sir Bong Go, alam kong aabot ito sa’yo. ‘Yung hiningi ko sa’yo, ‘yung sinabi ko na ikaw lang ang may kapangyarihan para mangyari ‘yun, sana gawin mo. Dahil umaasa ako sayo. Sana po pansinin niyo sa buong salitang ito ni minsan wala akong batikos kayong narinig. Hindi ‘yan ang pagpapalaki sa akin.”
Kris also expressed her gratitude to people who had loved her parents.
“I just want to say thank you. Thank you for loving my parents.”
Kris ended the Facebook and Instagram Live with agreeing with Mocha.
“Mocha, I’ll end this. You’re right, this is not about Kris Aquino. This was a reminder that Filipinos still love and respect Cory and Ninoy Aquino.”
