Kris malalim ang hugot: I am not a martyr, and I won’t be a victim!

NAGPASABOG na naman ng good vibes at positivity si Kris Aquino sa mundo ng social media. Nag-post ng mahabang mensahe ang Queen of Social Media sa kanyang official Facebook account tungkol sa masalimuot ngunit makulay niyang buhay nitong mga nakaraang taon.

Maraming hugot si Kris sa kanyang FB post, ngunit isa lang ang itinakbo ng tema nito, ang mapanatili ang malinis niyang pangalan at makapag-share ng inspiring stories para kapulutan ng aral ng mga Pinoy.

Sandamakmak na comments ang nabasa namin sa FB ni Kris at karamihan dito ay bumilib sa katatagan niya bilang isang ina na handang gawin ang lahat para sa kanyang mga anak, pati na rin sa kanyang pamilya. Pinuri rin ng mga netizen ang Queen of All Media sa pagiging totoo at palaban.

Narito ang ilang bahagi ng madamdaming mensahe ni Kris: “When I was down, I shut my mouth… I was afraid I’d say things that I’d later regret. But that self control also extracted a cost – there was a lot of left over angst that could suddenly come out in bursts.

“It was like having match sticks handed to me, and me unable to keep them inside their box then inadvertently lighting the fuse.

“This week when I was reviewing how many companies have really started putting money behind their faith in my vision – I realized I need to be worth every centavo. And that means a BIG NO to self-destruction,” ani Tetay.

Inisa-isa rin niya ang lahat ng kumpanyang patuloy na nagtitiwala sa kanya bilang endorser kanilang na riyan ang dalawang pharmaceutical companies, banko, bookstore chain, food conglomerate, biggest home internet provider and telecommunications company sa bansa, largest Philippine owned makeup brand, number one petroleum corporation, number one imported food marketer and distributor at maraming-marami pang iba.

Bukod diyan, napakarami pang naka-line up na product endorsements si Kris this year. Aniya, “This listing is not meant to brag… it is a REMINDER of my responsibility to rise above my normal human reaction for self-preservation, and in dignified silence just firmly defend my ground.

“That is HARD – to rise above when others choose to honor their crab mentality to drag me down. But I no longer need to be so vocal in defending myself and the honorable life I’m trying to live. I am not a martyr, and I won’t be a victim. BUT my work and the trust backed up by millions of pesos invested in me by so many are already my best answer to all forms of negativity.

“And I choose to be a BEAUTIFUL & UNIQUE DISRUPTOR. In a world enjoying catfights, trading insults and curse words, where posting rants and take downs have become common- I want to grow a COMMUNITY of fellow believers standing strong for hard work, trustworthiness, determination, authenticity, RESPECT, and celebrating generosity of HEART.

“Believe me when I say – I don’t prescribe to turning the other cheek nor allowing others to disrespect and humiliate me.

“Because this is the truth – you know me and you know most parts of my story, you’ve seen me stumble, fall, crumble, and fail… it’s weird but that’s an advantage because we all know with me, what you see is what you get… so unless the rebukes will come from people I’ve personally worked with, or those who know me intimately (and they are thankfully very few)- it’s really just noise I’m striving to filter out.

“After all this is MY STORY, one I’m still living one page at a time- and since I’m THE AUTHOR, I get to also edit out those who don’t belong while highlighting my loves and my heroes.”

Samantala, kagabi isa si Kris sa mga ginawaran ng People of the Year award ng Stargate People Asia magazine dahil na rin sa kanyang achievements nitong mga nakaraang taon at sa kanyang lumalawak na online empire.

Ang iba pang celebrity na nasa listahan ng 2017 People of the Year ay sina Bea Alonzo, Basil Valdez at ang PBA coach na si Tim Cone.
