MANILA – With presidential sister Kris Aquino earlier slammed for calling it quits with commuters who experienced heavy traffic during the APEC week, the actress-host has again been criticized this time for being ‘Imeldific.’

In her post on Instagram over the weekend, Kris shared an exchange of comments between her and user @justpeteclyde. In the conversation, she was accused of behaving like ‘APEC is all about her’ and being ‘Imeldific’ despite being a critic of the Marcoses.

“APEC is good for Filipinos. We are thankful… If Kris messed it up a bit due to her KSP (kulang sa pansin) behavior and attitude… Well, let’s not give Kris too much credit when she behaves like APEC is all about her,” @justpeteclyde wrote.

“Kris Aquino, you have no relevant impact on APEC except the selfies and attentions KSP stuff just made it cheaper… Classy na sana… Until she does that thing she always does… Tapos ‘pag tinira mo, iiyak–iyak sa TV… San ka ba nagmana, hija? Nakakahiya sa magulang mo,” his comment continued.

(Kris Aquino, you have no relevant impact on APEC except the selfies and attentions KSP stuff just made it cheaper… It should’ve been classy… Until she does that thing she always does… Then when you criticize her, she’ll cry on TV… Whom have you gotten those traits, dear? It’s embarrassing to your parents.)

“Plus you criticize the Marcoses for their lifestyle, ikaw din pala Imeldific… Sa nakikita ko, hindi sila naiiba. Mala-Marcos din pati ‘yung pagtago ng mahihirap. Wearing an evening gown in broad daylight and that body-hugging yellow dress in front of Jose Rizal’s statue.”

(Plus you criticize the Marcoses for their lifestyle, you’re also Imeldific… From what I see, they don’t differ. Also like Marcos, including the hiding of the poor. Wearing an evening gown in broad daylight and that body-hugging yellow dress in front of Jose Rizal’s statue.)

Defending herself, Kris stressed that she was the one who paid for the entertainment and decoration at the APEC spouses’ lunch, using money she earned from working with SM &SMarkets. She also reminded the commenter, who reportedly worked as a sales agent for SM, that she was a ‘textmate’ of Tessie Sy-Coson.

User @justpeteclyde tried to explain his side but eventually apologized for his comments and referred to the actress-host as ‘soft, adorable, lovely and humane.’ Kris, for her part, was quick to accept the apology.
