Quezon City, Philippines – Kris Aquino, sister of Philippine President NoyNoy Aquino, has denied rumors that she is planning to run for vice president in 2016. The television host  made the denial during her show where co-host Boy Abunda asked her to categorically state, under oath and with her hand resting on a bible, whether or not she has intentions to become the country’s next vice president.

“Postively, not true.  Walang basis for lahat ng (all the) rumors about this,” Aquino responded in her trademark Taglish (Tagalog-English).

“You know me well, Boy,” she added, “I come from a very religious pamilya (family), and I cannot lie under oath or with my hand on top of this bible. I am not planning, and will not run para sa (for) position of VP.” But I am running for president!”

Minutes after she made the statement on her TV show, a  Facebook page was established by her fans and supporters –   ‘Kris Aquino For President’ – and received 1,000 “likes” in the first five minutes.

Aquino has reportedly sent messages under the Philippine presidential letterhead to Lopez, asking that she be considered as his date to this weekend’s Oscar Awards show.

Lopez’s wife, also named Kris (Kristen Anderson Lopez) was apparently unhappy with the Aquinos’ lobbying and has asked her husband to ignore and not to respond to Kris’ messages.

ANOTHER COUP IN THE PHILIPPINES?

Leave a comment

imageManila, Philippines – Reliable sources within the Philippine military seem to confirm that a coup has been handed to NoyNoy Aquino on Christmas eve, but no one knows the whereabouts of the president.

Coups in the Phlippines – both successful and unsuccessful – have been staged against every Philippine president since the late Ferdinand Marcos fled to Hawaii following the EDSA People Power Revolution.

What’s different about this latest coup is that the instigator is no less than Kris Aquino, the president’s sister, who, in addition to her career in television, reportedly has her own political ambitions.

Upon further investigation of the report, military officials confirmed that they did intercept a cell phone message from Kris to NoyNoy. Apparently, the message said, “Mr. President, tomorrow morning, I will hand you a coup as my Christmas present to you. Please meet me at our hacienda in Tarlac.”

What the static-ridden message actually said was, “Mr. President, tomorrow morning, I will hand you the keys to a 2014 Nissan Sports Coupe as my Christmas present to you. Please meet me at our hacienda in Tarlac.”
