Binalahura mo na ang buong pagkatao ng pamilya namin&#8230; Mapapansin mo si <\/em>Noy [former President Benigno \u201cNoynoy\u201d Aquino III]<em> hindi parte ng <\/em>video<em> ko dahil BUHAY sya. Kaya nyang depensahan ang sarili nya <\/em>(I have let many instances slide. You disrespected the entire character of my family. You will notice that Noy is not part of the video because he is still alive and can defend himself)<em>.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Pero nung napanuod ko yung in<\/em>upload <em>mo para depensahan si presidente <\/em>Duterte <em>(na ni minsan hindi ko pinakitaan ng hindi maganda) alam mo ba kung ano ang ginawa mo? Sinariwa mo ang sugat sa puso ng isang batang<\/em> 12 years old <em>nung pinaslang ng walang kalaban laban ang kanyang ama <\/em>(But when I watched the video you uploaded to defend President Duterte \u2014 whom I have never shown ill will to \u2014 did you know what you did? You opened the wounds in the heart of a 12-year-old girl when her father was defenselessly killed)<em>,&#8221;<\/em> she stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Kris, who is the youngest daughter of Ninoy and former President Corazon &#8220;Cory&#8221; Aquino, shared that she even cried when she saw the video of her father being kissed by the two women because that last kiss was the gift which was not given to her late mother.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Nangako akong hindi kita papatulan<\/em> (I promised not to hit back at you)- but this time you crossed the line,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Kris added that Mocha rekindled the hurts she felt from her then strained relationship with her mother and her past romantic relationship.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Na<\/em> disown <em>ako pero nung<\/em> 1 month <em>si kuya <\/em>[Josh]<em>&#8211; naglakas loob akong pumunta sa<\/em> Times Street and once <em>kinarga nya yung apo nya &#8211; sya na yung pinaka nagmahal sa anak kong may<\/em> autism (I was disowned [by my mother] but when Josh was one-month old \u2013 I dared to go to the Times Street and once she held her grandson in her arms \u2013 she was the one who loved my son, who has autism, the most),&#8221; Kris recalled.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Pinaalala mo na nung issue namin ni<\/em> Joey [actor Joey Marquez], <em>nung umamin ako sa<\/em> STD [Sexually Transmitted Disease], <em>niyakap lang ako ng nanay ko <\/em>(You have reminded me of my issue with Joey, when I admitted that I have STD, my mom just hugged me)<em>,&#8221; <\/em>she continued.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Kris&#8217;s shortcomings in life, she stressed that she never covered up someone&#8217;s misdeeds and has never used anyone for personal gain.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Inako ko lahat ng mali ko at dahil nga minahal ako ng nanay ko at gusto kong maging mabuting ina &#8211; sinisikap kong ayusin ang buhay ko <\/em>(I took all the blame and because my mother loved me and I want to become a better mom \u2013 I\u2019m doing my best to fix my life)<em>,&#8221;<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n<p>Kris then asked Mocha to direct criticisms towards her, not to her family.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Kaya ngayon hihiramin ko ang salita nya: TAMA NA.

It can be recalled that Kris, last February, slammed purveyors of fake news about her late mother&#8217;s legacy, saying that a lot of Philippine history is being rewritten and erased because of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former entertainer and now Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Assistant Secretary Esther Margaux &#8220;Mocha&#8221; Uson drew the ire of the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":166234,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,46],"tags":[1575,13092],"class_list":["post-166232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","category-entertainment-ph","tag-kris-aquino","tag-mocha-uson","mauthors-joanna-belle-deala","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166234"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
