QUEZON CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Kris Aquino, sister of ex-President NoyNoy Aquino is attending today’s State of the Nation Address (SONA), the first by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

Aquino, in a recent television appearance on actress Marian Rivera’s morning show on  GMA 7, gave the “thumbs up” to Duterte, saying, “I think we live in a democracy and siya ang pinili ng tao. In the same way na not everybody voted for Noy in 2010, but a lot of people gave him a chance.”

The youngest of the Aquino siblings will be wearing a deep red ultra-glam long gown with criss-cross fabric that traces the body’s contour. It is a creation by Cebuano designer Cary Santiago. 

Apparently, Aquino did not get the memo from the president scrapping the SONA red carpet and requiring attendees to wear business attire.

Oh, well…
