A writer from Mindanao shared his thoughts on the issue between Kris Aquino and Presidential Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson that started because of a video uploaded by the latter on her social media page.

Karlo Antonio David believed that Kris Aquino’s recent move was a “big political mistake” that might endanger her future plans if she decided to enter the world of politics.

According to his explanation, Aquino destroyed her only chance to convince that she’s supporting the current government and attain the support from the millions of the Duterte supporter.

She shifted allegiance to the Duterte camp when she picked a fight with Korina Sanchez. That received mixed reactions.”

The Korean kiss was her chance to solidify her DDS cred

He believed that if Kris Aquino avoids being aggressive, the people might be convinced that she’s really now a supporter of the administration.

However, she released the wrong statement that resulted in another division and debate between the yellows and DDS.

‘There is nothing wrong with Duterte kissing consenting female supporters in a convivial and non-malicious context, just as there was nothing wrong with daddy or Noy doing so.’

That statement could have made her a crucial pro-Duterte figure: the catalyst for a pro-Duterte reading of the Aquino legacy (something which is very possible considering how Digong owes his political beginnings to EDSA). If she was trying to be a mole it would equally have worked better, as it would have worsened the already emerging divisions within the pro-Duterte camp.

But she instead chose to make it about her and her family being attacked by Mocha Uson, when Mocha was trying to say there was nothing wrong with what Duterte and Ninoy were doing (when Mocha Uson compares you to Duterte, you should be flattered). Kris Aquino could not resist playing the victim, and now she has made herself inconsistent.

She made it about her when, as Mocha’s soundbite now makes it abundantly clear, ‘this is not about her.’

This isn’t just about bad acting, this is about bad scriptwriting.

Two days ago, the word war between Uson and Aquino started when the actress posted a message on social media, saying that she got offended by what the communications assistant secretary posted.

Last week, Uson posted a video of Ninoy Aquino and President Rodrigo Duterte, receiving a kiss from their supporter to compare if there’s a difference between what the two leaders did.

However, Kris Aquino said that she was hurt by the video because the footage has been taken moments before her father was shot to death.

Despite of the pressure from the government and Aquino supporters, Uson chose not to apologize to the actress.

Kris Aquino offered her precious influence to help Special Assistant to President Christopher Bong Go if he decided to run for the senatorial elections in 2019.

Aquino sent a message to Bong Go to complain what Presidential Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson uploaded featuring her father Ninoy Aquino being kissed by her supporters before being assassinated.

When Go arrived in the Philippines, he was welcomed by the text messages from Kris Aquino.

““Bong, this is Kris Aquino. I am personally reaching out. We have been friends and my heart wants to believe you still have a soft spot for me. I will understand if you snub me because sino naman ako, pero sinaktan talaga ang puso ko sa ginawa ni Mocha.” Kris said in his text message to Bong Go.

“Alam mo, never ako nagsalita o nag-post ng anything against PRRD (President Rodrigo Roa Duterte) dahil marunong ako rumespeto. Sana huwag lang ang mom at dad ko dahil nananahimik na sila sa langit.” she added.

Aquino also told Go that she’s ready to campaign for the President’s right hand because she believes in his personality.

“Alam mo I will even campaign for you because I believe in you, but why leave the President? Why leave Malacañang?”

However, Aquino also gave the warning to Go that if he runs for public office, some people might use it as an opportunity to destroy the President.

She believes that its possible that a traitor might occupy the post of Go that he’s going to leave once won the senatorial elections.

“Why leave Malacañang? Baka ahas lang ang gustong kunin ang posisyon mo.” she said.

In response, Go insisted that he’s still not a candidate for the senatorial elections in 2019.

“Please ma’am hindi naman po ako kandidato, so maraming salamat sa tiwala mo at sa paniniwala mo sa amin ni Pangulong Duterte.” Go said during the press briefing at the Presidential Guest House in Malacañang.

Go also apologized to Kris for the incident.

The assistant of the President also said that he doesn’t have any authority to give punishment or sanctions for what Mocha Uson did.

He also shared to the press that he told Mocha to avoid adding more fuel to the fire.

“Kung pwede ay wag na natin palakihin and she agreed naman na mag apologize nalang,” Go while quoting what he said to Mocha.

However, several hours after the press briefing, Mocha Uson didn’t apologize and contradicted what Go said to the media.

“This is not about Kris Aquino, tungkol ito sa paglalagay malisya sa isang halik. Itinumbas lang sa gawain ng ibang lider tulad ng tatay niya. Ms. Aquino this is not about you,” Mocha Uson said in her live video.

“With all due respect to everyone involved, I decline to apologize for the truth,” she said in another post.

Kris Aquino is saddened by the latest statement of Mocha, saying that his boss already apologize, but she still refused to do the same.

(DEVELOPING)

Presidential Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson refused to apologize to Kris Aquino over the video that she posted comparing the kiss of President Rodrigo Duterte to an OFW in South Korea with the kiss received by Ninoy Aquino from his supporters moments before he assassinated.

Yesterday, Kris Aquino posted two social media message addressed to Uson, saying that she utterly hurt and offended by the video posted by Mocha.

Mocha said in her live video that the real issue is about the criticisms received by President Rodrigo Duterte after kissing a married OFW in South Korea.

She also told Aquino that the issue is not about her and she only compared what Duterte did to what Ninoy also committed

“This is not about Kris Aquino, tungkol ito sa paglalagay malisya sa isang halik. Itinumbas lang sa gawain ng ibang lider tulad ng tatay niya. Ms. Aquino this is not about you,” Mocha Uson said in her live video.

“With all due respect to everyone involved, I decline to apologize for the truth,” she said in another post.

Meanwhile, Kris Aquino quickly responded on the live video released by Mocha.

“Sino ang humalik? Ganoon kasimple,” Kris Aquino said.

She also rebutted the statement of Mocha, insisting that she’s also involved in the issue.

“if it is about my father or mother, this is also about me,” she said.

Kris also pointed out that Christopher “Bong” Go already apologized to them, however, she was saddened because despite what the presidential assistant did, Mocha still refused to apologize.

“Boss niya na po ang nagsasalita, sinasabi kong boss niya kasi nag ta-trabaho siya sa Malacanang, at yung pinakamalapit at yung pinagkakatiwalaan ng Presidente, siya nagawa niyang mag sorry sakin.” she said.

“Pero si Miss Uson, galit pa, okay.” she added.

She also insisted that they’re not already members of the Liberal Party that being criticized by the supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Kris is also hoping that Bong Go is going to stand by his statement that they’re also expressing their sympathy to the Aquino family.

Kris in the last part of her video said that this issue made her realize that many people still respect Ninoy and Cory Aquino.

“Mocha, you’re right this is not about Kris Aquino. This is a reminder that Filipinos still love and respect and Cory and Ninoy Aquino.” she said.

Despite the mass support received by Kris Aquino after she criticized Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson, one netizen stood up and defended the latter from the criticisms of the queen of all media.

Mark Lopez, a staunch supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte wrote an open letter on Facebook addressed to Kris Aquino on Wednesday.

He believes that Kris only wanted to make a sympathy from her supporters.

Kris, according to Lopez was trying to overact again from a simple post of Uson, trying to compare the kiss received by Ninoy from his supporters and recent action of Duterte to an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) during his visit in South Korea on Monday.

Lopez also explained that Mocha didn’t insult Kris’ parents by putting Ninoy and Rody in the same video.

He told Kris that the one who started the fire are the opposition that also the loyalist of the Aquino family.

The supporter of Duterte said that Kris is trying to spin the issue and also using Mocha for her publicity.

Lopez even suspected that Kris’ sudden attack against Mocha Uson is another move by a PR machine to boost the popularity of the opposition’s senatorial bets in 2019.

However, he’s confident that people are not going to believe Kris’ drama anymore.

Aquino even brought back the biggest issues that she faced during her showbiz career, saying that her mother is the only one who comforted her during her difficult times.

“Ako nalang, hindi nila deserve ang kabastusan mo, dahil binigay nila ang buhay nila para sa mga Pilipino,” Kris said in her live video.

As of writing, Uson is still not yet responding to the message of Kris.
