“NEVER wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pigs like it.”

Ito ang picture quote ni George Bernard Shaw na ipinost sa Instagram ni Kris Aquino bandang 1AM kahapon na agad umani ng likes at komento na binasa namin isa-isa naming para malaman kung para saan ito.

Ayon kay @simply_lanymercado, “Nabasa ko yun, di ako makatulog, di maka-get over at di maka-move on kasi nanggigigil ako sa matandang bastos na ‘yun. I really admire your patience and how you handle things. Kakaiba ka talaga, you’re not one in a million, I guess you’re one in a lifetime.”

Isa pang hindi nakapagpigil ng sasabihin si @guadajucal, “ @Glad that you don’t go down to his level. I just don’t get it how an adult like him have the guts to bully a child. Maintindihan ko pa kung adult ang inaaway nia, but bata?”

Saka lang namin napagtagni-tagni na ang pinag-uusapan ay tungkol sa foul na mga komento sa Facebook post ng isang dating TV host tungkol sa pagkakadulas ni Bimby Aquino Yap sa swimming pool. Hindi na namin ilalabas dito dahil below the belt talaga.

Bukod sa quotation ay inisa-isa ni Kris ang mga dahilan kung bakit ayaw niyang bumaba sa level ng dating TV host at mananatili siya sa advocacy niyang magpalaganap ng positivity.

“Regardless of the fact that Ariel just renewed my endorsement until after elections in 2019 & I’m shooting for Safeguard next week -- ayokong sayangin ‘yung deeper clean for better freshness & anti-bacterial protection na dulot nu’ng dalawa sa higit na kuwarentang produktong pinagkakatiwalaan ako.

“Oops, good I remembered sa Saturday (ngayong araw) ‘yung contract signing for the Philippines’ largest home grown make-up brand & on Monday I’m signing an endorsement for 1 of the biggest water providers of our country.

“Omg, sayang kung masira ‘yung magandang make-up & ayoko talagang mag-aksaya ng tubig na sure akong pang-Healthy Family.”

Binanggit din ng hardworking and proud mama nina Joshua at Bimby na pinalaki siya ng magulang niya bilang matinong tao, responsible sa lahat ng bagay at higit sa lahat patuloy siyang tutulong sa maraming tao.

“Pasensya na pero hindi ako pinalaki para makipagsapalaran sa kabastusan. I strive to earn an honest living, pay my 35% in income tax as a responsible citizen, share my blessings by opening more food outlets that will provide more jobs, continue supporting feeding & outreach programs under the missions of my Catholic Faith, and above all else be the best mother I can be.

“My Mom didn’t raise me to just be a survivor, she raised me to be a deserving winner. Kick me down, and time has taught me -- someone in heaven just makes sure to strengthen my wings. #positivitywins.”

Samantala, dinalaw ng magkakapatid na Aquino ang libingan ng kanilang inang si Presidente Corazon C. Aquino sa kaarawan nito noong Huwebes sa Manila Memorial Park.

Ang gandang tingnan ang mga nakapalibot na dilaw na bulaklak na may iba’t ibang uri sa museleo nina Pangulong Cory at Senator Ninoy Aquino.

Nag-post si Kris ng mensahe niya para sa namayapang ina.

“A birthday is a happy occasion, and my choice of #BTS MAMA felt perfect. Sharing w/ you the English translation of my favorite lyrics:

On the phone

My mother’s voice was clear

What I remember is

My mom’s tenacity was a curveball to me

I swore

That I must become successful

And with that single promise

I became the son I am today

Hey mama

You can now lean on me, I’ll be always next to you

Hey mama

Because you generously gave me and you were my support

Hey mama

Now you can believe in your son, you can smile

Hey mama

Hey mama

Hey mama

I’m sorry mama

Now I know your boundless kiindness mama

HAPPY 85th birthday in heaven Mom! #family”
