I think I have seen Ms. Aquino monopolizing the screen while crying her heart out on TV one time too many. Her most recent one made me say "That's it!What does she take the Filipino viewers for?A sucker for cry-babies?!" NOT!
She may be smart,rich and famous but I was never impressed with most of the things that come out of her mouth especially when it is accompanied with a pool of tears. I was never impressed with how she treats her co-hosts,guests and the players of her game shows.She's fond of interrupting without excusing herself and sometimes to the point that the person talking wouldn't be able to finish her sentence at all.It's also a habit of hers to eye her game show players from head to foot like measuring them up and then she would make comments that are totally uncalled for.
The whole time that I was watching the YouTube video of her most recent tearful drama (Please click on the title of this post to go to the said video), I was cringing and rolling my eyes half the time. Let me count the ways:
00:36 - "Tao lang ako talaga." No one accused her of being not.Yes, she's tao lang also but the questions is - what kind of tao is she projecting herself in front of the camera and the watchful eyes of the crowd around her?The Filipino people doesn't know what kind of tao she is when she's with her family or in the privacy of her own home. What the madlang people is seeing in front of the camera is how she will mostly be perceived as and,so far, she has a lot of haters already.
01:24 - "People always say I'm a brat..but I'm not a brat when it comes to my family" So she does admit that with an exception of her family, she acts like a brat to everyone else.
01:50-02:02 - Again, she just admitted that her apology to Ruffa and her family was all for Noynoy's campaign and was against her will. It is indeed hard to pretend to be someone YOU AREN'T. She isn't humble and she thinks that she need not apologize for her actions whether or not it's hurting a lot of people.That's why she went crying on TV because she can't fake it any longer.
02:10 - "Hindi ko ininvolve si Noy sa desisyon na to because Noy is not part of this show.Hindi artista si Noy2." ...but your 3 sisters are? That's why you involved them with your decision-making and consistently mentioned their names during your "boo-hoo-hoo" speech?
02:26 - "Dahil alam ko ang sinakripisyo ng nanay ko para magkaroon tayo ng demokrasya." She doesn't have to rub it in to get the people's sympathy.We all know what her parents did for our country, but she shouldn't have used that line because, after all, Pres.Cory (God rest her soul),like Noy2, IS ALSO NOT part of The Buzz and not an actress either.
03:03 - "E nagbago naman po ako eh." Please elaborate.
03:15-03:27 - You wanna talk about loneliness,suffering and hardships? Talk to the street children. Those children who've never known their parents. Talk to those who can only eat once a day. Talk to those who can already afford a year of food supply from the amount of money you spend for a single bottle of perfume or a pair of stilettos you buy in one day.
03:39 - "Dalawang buwan na lang naman eh" Yeah, that's right -It's just 2 months for you, Kris. Meaning, you cannot oblige or simply ask people to be sorry for you when, unlike you, they have a lifetime of hunger, hopelessness or financial hardships ahead of them.
04:56 - "It's a lesson.You just really have to be so careful about everything that escapes your mouth." Someone should have told her that years ago OR maybe someone already did but then,again, Noy2, at that time, wasn't running for Presidency yet anyway so why would she care.
06:43 - "Pero pwede ko pong ipagmalaki.Mabuti po ang pamilya namin.Nagmamahalan po ang pamilya namin." For the nth time, they aren't part of the Buzz so why did she have to drag the whole family in to her speech? As an average observer, the current issue came to be because of her own tactlessness and lack of respect for other people's feelings.She was always in trouble because of her own actions and she's the one who perennially drags her family on this. Not Anabelle Rama. Not the "kontra partidos".
07:17 - At least she's not reluctant to admit that at her age and level of intelligence and a number of achievements, she still needs her 3 sisters and brother to babysit her and scrub her off whenever she falls down.
Yes, Kris Aquino is not the worst person in the world. I personally know someone who's much worse and is closer to home. Anywho, I just dislike how Kris always makes it to the point of mentioning how heroic her parents are and how much their family sacrificed so much for our country in every opportunity she gets; may it be in The Buzz or in Pilipinas Got Talent. There was one time when she even let a particular PGT contestant with a mediocre singing talent go through to the next round for the sole reason that the contestant's father is currently in prison and that she can totally relate with his situation. So she let him through. Ugh! They should have changed the title from Pilipinas Got Talent to Pilipinas Got A Story To Tell!
I admit that I have second thoughts in voting for Noynoy because of Kris but I am not the only one. I just hope that whoever would read this would also realize that it is the campaign period of all campaign periods. Anyone would do anything to a great extent just to win. Kris needs to stop all the drama and just be more sensitive so she'll never be involved into another "intriga" fiasco again.
My 2 cents.
