The Queen of All Media, Kris Aquino finally provided an explanation why her popular lifestyle morning talk show on ABS-CBN, Kris TV was only showing the replays of the episode for two weeks.
Kris revealed that they have to fix some issues and settle them in a more mature approach.
She has been quiet for two weeks on her Instagram without posting anything to her followers. The last time that the Queen of All Media posted on her Instagram account was in Bangkok, Thailand during one of her endorsement shoot. On her Instagram account Kris Aquino said: “From my room service dinner last night: Yam Som O (pomelo salad), Khao Phad Kai Dao (fried rice w/ chicken) & Por Pia Goong (fried prawn spring rolls)… Headed to the airport. I regret not having taken a picture during the shoot of lunch- the steamed fish na gusto kong matutunan how to prepare, and how pretty they presented the fresh fruit platter, the pineapple was super small & exceptionally sweet, the cantaloupe & the watermelon were both so vibrant in color & made me wonder if they were injected w/ sugar syrup to make them that juicy…”
Yesterday, February 8, she finally posted again on her Instagram account to greet her older brother, President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III on his 56th birthday.
Eventually, the Kapamilya TV host-actress provided the reason for her silence through her blog www.withlovekrisaquino.com with an inscription that read “What SILENCE Taught Me” which she released yesterday, February 8.
In her blog, she said, that she decided to remain silent for the meantime to ponder on her thoughts. She wrote:
“I purposely stayed away from social media (and yes, Kris TV went on Best Of for 8 episodes) because there were professional issues we needed to resolve, and Thank You, Lord—natuto na ko that by being outspoken and sharing details with all of you, mas hahaba ang proseso at mas malabong maayos sa mahinahon at mature na paraan.
That doesn’t mean that you are unimportant to me. The truth is I would never have become me had you not given me consistent support.
BUT life has taught me that I should share with you my work, the process that goes hand in hand with my work, the ‘paying it forward’ aspect of sharing my blessings, and certain snippets of our family life that will hopefully inspire you.
The rest of my life, I owe to my siblings and sons to keep among us. Alam nyo na pinaka sensitive ako when it comes to my family, somehow pag silang tinira, no matter how much I want to ignore the bashers and haters, the part of me that needs to stand up and defend my loved ones is unleashed, and bahala na si Batman, lalaban ako.
This time was different, I knew that by containing the situation—there was a very big chance that I would have a much stronger opportunity of fixing everything where everybody would feel blessed, and there won’t be anything that I would need to later on clean up.
My cue came from one of Boy Abunda’s favorite sayings, ‘Pag emosyonal at hindi muna magsasalita, mas kaunti ang kakailanging walisin at bawiin kapag bumalik na sa normal ang sitwasyon.’
Guess what? The girl who relished living 30 years of her life in the public eye actually felt peaceful keeping to herself.
I mostly stayed home, except for going to Church to pray in total surrender and to give my thanksgiving. I was sick for 3 days with fever and then I had a bout of hypertension (158/105) from all my stress.
This compelled me to stay in bed, eat very healthy, decompress, and sleep.”
In the meantime, her level of maturity is under scrutiny as she shared her story about being a mom to her two sons, Joshua and Bimby and her previous relationship with estranged husband, James Yap.
Kris further said: “Looking back, there were many moments in my life that would probably have taken a different direction had I done what I did now—kept things to myself…
A relationship is hard enough to maintain, there are enough conflicts between the partners and those closest to them, how much more difficult it is to sustain the love and the desire to hold on when everybody who can see my IG feed will feel free to comment, because I wasn’t cautious enough and laid bare my heart? YES, kasalanan ko yun…
Co-parenting is exceptionally difficult, but in this case I believe Bimb’s father and I are equally to blame because we have been influenced by the opinion of our followers, and we have used social media to be our mediator.
We recently had a misunderstanding, but neither of us shared the details, and we managed to reach a certain level of pacification that we both realize is for Bimb’s benefit.
Fingers crossed that we can maintain this level of maturity.”
Subsequently in her blog, Kris also apologized to her viewers for not airing the new episodes of her talk show, Kris TV for the meanwhile.
Kris Aquino will be celebrating her 45th birthday on February 14, also a Valentine’s Day for lovers to celebrate.
As her birthday draws near, she casts doubt and uncertainty of life in the future considering of her status right now. Kris said on a final note:
“Yes, I will continue to have missteps, but I am praying that they will be fewer and will occur as rarely as possible.
On February 14, I shall turn 45 years old.
You have known me, watched me, listened to me, and judged me for 30 years, that is exactly 2/3 of my entire life.
Yes, I wanted to be an actress, a host, an endorser—a celebrity.
And I felt that opening up your life, getting the million peso contracts meant that you are surrendering your right to a private life.
Yet the past few weeks educated me that the ability to have a private life comes from the calibrated mix of keeping quiet, lying low, not calling attention to myself, and trusting very few people who have proven time and again that they will keep my confidences because they unequivocally care for me.
The challenge now is to stay fascinating while keeping a little of myself for me…
I used to not believe the sayings ‘Magtira ka para sa sarili mo’ as well as ‘Don’t give too much, don’t love too much, don’t trust too much, don’t hope too much—because the too much can hurt you so much.’ Now, I see the wisdom of those words.
Taping from Batangas to Mindoro showed me that I owe you my 100% when it comes to the episodes we air (wag lang buwis buhay ang segments because Kuya Josh and Bimb need me healthy and alive) because you gave me the precious gift of your time, and our advertisers and TFC subscribers gave good money for us to produce an excellent product.
The time I took for myself illuminated in me that peace is priceless. And that it is possible.
Thank you for taking time to read this, for those who are experiencing life’s crossroads, I hope that what you read will give you insight and strength.
For those of you who wanted to hear from me (in this case read my thoughts) THANK YOU, just thank you for all we have shared and experienced, for the encouragement you give me for today, and the motivation you give me to keep striving for tomorrow.”
