SINGAPORE (The Adobo Chronicles) – Philippines’  “Queen of all Media” Kris Aquino wants to have her cake and eat it too.

The presidential sister and talk show host wants to be the first to interview ‘Asia’s Got Talent’ finalist Gerphil Flores — win or lose.

Flores is one of nine finalists who could be the grand winner in the mega-reality show being held in Singapore.  Four Filipino acts and five  others from Singapore, Japan, Thailand, China and Mongolia are competing for the title ‘Best Talent in Asia.’

“Let bygones be bygones,” Aquino said, referring to the incident in 2010 when she and fellow ‘Pilipinas Got Talent” judge Ai-Ai de las Alas, voted out Flores, then a teenager contestant in the show, because they thought the classical singer should be singing songs that the audience and her peers could relate to, like songs that Charice would sing.

Aquino left for Singapore early Monday morning and is desperately seeking to meet with Flores before Thursday’s announcement of the grand winner of the talent show. She is also reportedly trying to schedule an interview with internationally-acclaimed composer and producer David Foster who is head over heels for the talented Flores.  When informed about Aquino’s attempt to schedule an interview with him, Foster said, ‘Kris Aquino who?’

Aquino plans to be in Singapore all this week to tape segments of her show, “Aquino & Abunda Tonight.”

Will she score the exclusive interview with Flores?

  1. I don’t think it’s right to judge Ms. Kris Aquino’s competency as a person or as a judge for voting to eliminate Gerphil Flores in PGT a few years back. For me, her comment was valid because a lot of singers and auditioners fail in competition for choosing the wrong songs. While I understand that Gerphil is trying to make her own icon as a classical singer, maybe she could have picked a different classical song that the difficulty level is really really high. I listened to her sing and she has great potentials even back then at PGT. I happen to be a Christian and that song she sang Via Dolorosa was a great song and she did a perfect job and I like that she sings from the heart. What Kris said was not to insult her but just a suggestion to sing different songs that would capture your audience. You know what, if she sang that song in Europe/US it would have been a different story because its a different audience. Long story short, Gerphil is an excellent singer. She is blessed by God right now at Asia’s got talent because of her humble spirit and just pure talent. For Ms. Kris Aquino, I really don’t believe that she said what she said before to insult Gerphil or belittle her abilities that was just her personal opinion during PGT. In fact, Ai-Ai’s comments didn’t even makes sense and really no solid basis. More power to Gerphil Flores! I know she will win this! i believe it!

    1. Your very long comment still bias. To judge on the basis of heart is bias.Kris base her judgement on interest/ likes which totally showed her that her intellect got no talent in judging music talent.
