“I Love You, Hater” star Kris Aquino has revealed a rift with her brother, former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, saying her two sons have also been affected by the strained relationship.
On Instagram Wednesday, Kris shared a photo of Noynoy with her eldest son, Josh, in a hospital bed. Also seen in the photo is Kris’ younger son, Bimby.
In its caption, she wrote: “i chose to live my life openly – kaya nga maraming pwedeng humusga, pero na bless kasi marami rin ang nagmamahal… with true HUMILITY i will share our story & hope that some of you will learn from our journey.
“my brother & i have had a complicated relationship, siguro po kasi only son & middle child sya, bunso ako. Siguro rin kasi aminadong opposites talaga kami- tahimik sya, pribado, iniisip mabuti ang bawat galaw. Alam nyo na kung ano ako. Dahil #satruelang, 3 months po kaming hindi okay.”
She then admitted she is at fault for having caused the rift between her and Noynoy. Kris, however, did not elaborate on the reason behind their misunderstanding.
As a result Kris shared that her two children, with whom the former president has close relationships, have likewise suffered.
She said: “Naipit yung 2 boys ko – alam nilang di okay kaya pinili na wag dumalaw at wag iwan si mama… Ang pinaka nag suffer si kuya josh. Sa bawat pag ospital – si tito Noy was always there.
“Kinapalan ko po ang mukha ko today – nag text ako. Umamin na alam kong na hurt ko sya pero nakiusap – KAILANGAN sya ni kuya josh. My son needed him- the ONLY constant male figure in his life. From afar, i took this picture.”
Explaining why she posted the photo on Instagram, where she has more than three million followers, Kris said it was a glimpse of how they’re just like any other family, with misunderstandings and compromises.
“Ito kami – PAMILYA na kagaya nyong lahat. Kayang isantabi lahat ng tampuhan dahil hindi mag iiwanan – gagawin ang lahat sa oras ng pangangailangan – dahil may isang ‘special’ na batang inosente na kukuha ng lakas sa pagmamahal ng tito Noy at mama nya,” she said.
Kris went on to share what she told Noynoy when they finally got to speak after three months.
“My brother is not active on social media, pero uulitin ko dito yung nasabi ko sa kanya – THANK YOU for LOVING JOSH ENOUGH to be here when he really needed you.
“This is for all of you to get to know the real man, the true NOY AQUINO who is so deserving of RESPECT & ADMIRATION, galing po sa hindi perpekto pero totoong bunsong kapatid, na si kris aquino. (thank you Mom, from heaven i know you made this possible),” Kris wrote.
Kris and Noynoy are the children of former President Corazon Aquino and slain former senator Ninoy Aquino. They have three other siblings, Ballsy, Pinky and Viel. (ABS-CBN News)
