HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles, Los Angeles Bureau) – It’s here! The official trailer of the Hollywood film, ‘Crazy Rich Asians.’
The film, based on a novel by Kevin Kwan, features an all-Asian cast, including — supposedly — Kris Aquino.
Aquino herself had been hinting about a major Hollywood project and when she was photographed at NAIA with huge multiple luggages on a trip to Singapore, many believed it was because she’d be joining the cast of ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ as a princess.

Because of what she called a ‘non-disclosure’ agreement, Aquino could not confirm or deny her role in ‘Crazy Rich Asians.’ But in a check with imdb, the authoritative database of all film projects, Aquino is not mentioned as a member of the cast.
In the official trailer, there is no sight of Aquino, certainly not the princess that her fans were expecting.
A netizen who watched the trailer frame-by-frame told The Adobo Chronicles that he saw Aquino in the trailer at 1:04. We took a screenshot of that trailer moment but all we saw was a lady-in-waiting (politically-correct term for maid or domestic help), not a princess.
OUR FACT CHECK VERDICT: Kris Aquino’s ‘role’ in the film is UNVERIFIABLE at this point.
Let’s see if fact-checkers Rappler and Vera Files would have a different take on all this.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila bureau) – For the longest time since Cory Aquino became President of the Philippines, the color yellow has been made to represent courage and opposition to the establishment. 
QUEZON CITY (The Adobo Chronicles, Quezon City Bureau) – Blood is always thicker than water. And the big brother is to be followed at all times, whether or not he used to be the President of the Philippines.
