Despite of too much criticism from the media, Kris Aquino remains firm in defending her brother President Noynoy. PNoy was criticized after a 'scolding spree' at the recent anniversary celebration of ABS-CBN TV Patrol.
Like most of celebrities, Kris pours out her sentiments via twitter (
kris aquino twitter) when a follower commented that PNoy “would give media freedom” similar to what their father, Benigno Aquino, Jr., “would’ve wanted,” noting that the former senator himself was part of the press (he worked as a war correspondent for the Manila Times).
Kris replied by tweeting:
“@NinaBellatrix1 hi Nina. Prayed be4 I replied to make sure I don't tweet the wrong thing. My issues r so trivial in comparison to PNoy. PNoy is our president & I do believe the majority of our people feel he's doing a great job. Maybe he just like anybody else has the right to defend himself & express his opinion? Freedom of speech is a 2 way street right?”
However, another netizen commented that though PNoy has a right to defend himself, “it was just inappropriate for the occasion. It was uncalled for.”
To which Kris responded, “that's y we live in a DEMOCRACY. Our president is free to express himself & so r u. Good night.”
PNoy was the guest of honor at the of the long-running Kapamilya news program. Although he did not directly name his subject, PNoy did refer to him as a government official who served for six years. He also quoted Noli’s famous line, “Magandang gabi, bayan” at one point.
Noli De Castro serves as the vice-president of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo from 2004 to 2010.
