MANILA, Philippines \u2014 Media personality Kris Aquino on Monday, April 23, apologized to politicians whose names she mentioned in a tirade launched on social media over the weekend.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Queen of All Media\u2019 on Saturday let out a virtual tongue-lashing on Instagram against broadcaster Korina Sanchez-Roxas and her husband, 2016 presidential candidate Mar Roxas, over Sanchez-Roxas\u2019s feature on Aquino\u2019s ex-husband, James Yap, on her magazine show Rated K.<\/p>\n

In her effort to \u201cforgive regardless of the fact no remorse has ever been shown,\u201d Aquino apologized for \u201cincluding politics\u201d in her attacks, in which she mentioned the names of President Rodrigo Duterte, her brother and former president Benigno \u201cNoynoy\u201d Aquino III, and Roxas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do sincerely apologize to my brother. And I apologize to President Duterte. And Mar, to you I am sorry,\u201d Aquino wrote in an Instagram post.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy anger comes from the heart of a mother who has been unnecessarily stepped on by someone who has been blessed w\/ a loving & devoted husband & does not know the hardship of having to go it alone,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

She also admitted guilt in dragging Roxas into an issue where he did not actively participated in, to begin with.<\/p>\n

Aquino\u2019s tirade stemmed from an April 22 episode of Rated K that featured celebrity kids, including Michael James, Yap\u2019s son with his Italian girlfriend, Michela Cazzola.<\/p>\n

Michael James was born in 2016, nine years after his elder brother, Yap\u2019s firstborn and namesake James \u201cBimby\u201d Aquino-Yap, was born.<\/p>\n

Aquino and Yap are estranged and the former had criticized the latter multiple times in the past for allegedly being an absentee father.<\/p>\n

The feature angered Aquino who said that Sanchez-Roxas, who\u2019s also a producer of the show, \u201cdeliberately\u201d aired it to hurt her.<\/p>\n

She also recalled the favors she did for Roxas in his 2016 electoral campaign, and called out Sanchez-Roxas\u2019s manner of returning those favors.<\/p>\n

\u201cSimple lang- minsan lang akong pinakiusapan ng kapatid ko- never para sa sarili nya pero para sa kandidatong inendorso nya. Dahil mahal ko sya ginawa ko<\/em>. Lahat ng batikos ng dahil sa pagtulong na yon tinaggap ko<\/em> (It\u2019s simple \u2014 my brother seldom urges me \u2014 never for himself but for the candidates he endorsed. Because I love him, I did it. I accepted all the criticisms that stemmed from that help),\u201d Kris said, referring to former president Aquino<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, pinepersonal ko dahil binuwis ko ang kinabukasan namin ng mga anak ko ng walang inasahang kapalit <\/em>(Yes, I took it personally because I sacrificed the future my children and I without expecting anything in return),\u201d she added. \u201cAt ang ganti sa kin at sa mga anak ko ngayon ay binida pa ang<\/em> deadbeat na tatay<\/em> (And what she reciprocated to my children and I is she featured the deadbeat father).\u201d<\/p>\n

While Kris threw sharp words at Sanchez-Roxas, she, on the other hand, was all praises with Roxas\u2019s rival in the 2016 presidential election, then Davao City mayor Duterte.<\/p>\n

\u201cTatlong beses akong nagpunta sa<\/em> Davao- sa kampanya nung<\/em> 2010, kampanya<\/em> 2013 para kay<\/em> Sen Chiz & Sen Grace at nung na<\/em>g Kris Tv. Si<\/em> PRRD lahat nung pagkakataon na nagkaharap kami<\/em>, mabuti ang pinakita sa kin<\/em>. (I went to Davao thrice\u2014during the 2010 campaign, 2013 campaign for Sen. Chiz and Sen. Grace, and when [we] did Kris TV. PPRD, in all the instances that we met, showed me kindness),\u201d Aquino said.<\/p>\n

\u201cKlarong klaro sa kin kung bakit ang nanalong Pangulo ay si<\/em> DUTERTE (It\u2019s very clear to me why Duterte won for president),\u201d she added, ending her post with a fist bump emoticon, the signature hand gesture of Duterte and his allies.<\/p>\n

As of writing, the camp of the Roxases has not responded to Aquino\u2019s statements.<\/p>\n

\u2018Welcome on board\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque Jr. in a Monday press briefing welcomed Aquino\u2019s positive feedback on the president.<\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome on board, Kris Aquino,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Roque also affirmed Aquino\u2019s testimonial of the president\u2019s kindness towards her which is attributed to the Dutertes\u2019s support for the Aquinos.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt alam mo yun din ang sinabi sa akin ni Presidente, ah. Kasi si Presidente nung \u201986 revolution nag-suporta kay Cory, at lahat ng kampanya ng pamilyang Aquino suportado ni Presidente Duterte sa Davao (And you know, that\u2019s what the president told me as well. Because the president in the 1986 revolution supported Cory, and all the campaigns of the Aquino family are supported by President Duterte in Davao). And the mother of course of the President,\u201d Roque said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
