Unang natutunan ni Kris kay Tita Cory: Wag na wag uutang!

KRIS AQUINO

“HUWAG umutang hangga’t maaari!” Yan ang unang-unang lesson in life na natutunan ng Queen of all Media na si Kris Aquino mula sa yumaong inang si dating Pangulong Cory Aquino.

Ayon kay Tetay, mas magaan at mas masaya ang buhay kapag walang iniisip o pinoproblemang utang ang isang tao.

“Everything that I have, every business I have or home and all have all been paid for in hard-earned cash. That was my mom’s lesson. I have no debts because there is shelf life for my job.

“It is really dependent on the goodwill of the people. Puwede kong pagsawaan, puwedeng merong isang false move and you’re gone,” pahayag ni Kris nang makachikahan ng ilang miyembro ng entertainment press. Tinanong kasi siya kung anu-ano ang mga aral na natutunan niya kay Tita Cory noong nabubuhay pa ito.

“Secondly, everything is temporary. By saying that it is temporary, that’s both good and bad na when the times are tough, you know na dadaan ‘yan. But when the times are good also, savor every minute of it because it’s not gonna really last forever.

“Third lesson is that, your children come first. Kasi parang it’s really hard to balance, to become a big success and yet have the time to really focus on the kids, especially if you’re a single parent. I think that you really make time for what matters to you. You learn what to prioritize,” sey pa ng Queen of Social Media.

Isa pa sa hinding-hindi niya makakalimutang payo ng ina ay ang tamang trato at pakikisama sa kapwa. Dito niya sinabi na bukod sa mga anak niyang sina Joshua at Bimby ay more than 20 pang staff ang nakatira sa bahay nila.

“The fourth I think is, to really be good to the people who work for you and who support you. Treat your people well so that there will be loyalty. Give the due respect because it is a relationship that is based on trust,” aniya.

“And the fifth is, I think that my mom taught me the power of prayer. There were so many moments na talagang, okay, tuloy na sana, mangyayari na and then mauudlot. I went through so much of that in late 2016 all the way up to the second quarter of 2017.

“So, gusto mo nang sumuko talaga, eh. Actually my sisters are telling me, ‘You’re rich enough, you don’t need to do anything anymore. You could just live off your income.’ And I said ‘No, I still feel I have to prove something. So what I did was talagang I did not stop praying.

“My mom always said that anytime anything good happens in your life make sure, one mag-thank you ka kay God. Two, i-share mo ‘yung blessings na ’yan,” chika pa ni Tetay saka inisa-isa ang mga bagong endorsements na dumating sa kanya kabilang na nga ang Pinoy cosmetic brand na Ever Bilena at ang Healthy Family Purified Water.

Pahabol pa ni Tetay, “I guess there’s one more that’s really super important. My mom really taught me to choose my battles wisely. So I think I have also proven that.”

Samantala, may isang netizen naman ang nagtanong kay Kris kung bakit hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin siya nakakabalik sa TV sayang naman daw ang talento niya sa pagiging host.

Ayon kay @jonaldojmanalo1565, “Bakit po walang kumukuhang network sa iyo Miss Kris, eh ang galing galing nyo po…every Filipino wants you to see in television.”

Tugon naman ni Kris, “@jonaldojmanalo1565 political reality.” Na sinagot naman ng netizen ng, “Exactly po Mam Kris, political reality…you have nothing to prove to anyone, you have proven long time and above all you are not just kind, you are a good person as well…basta we always support you. God bless po and we missed you on TV.”

Hindi na sumagot pa uli si Tetay sa komento ng kanyang follower. May mga nagsabing mukhang matatagalan pa bago siya makabalik sa telebisyon dahil sa isyu ng politika sa bansa. Posibleng may koneksyon pa rin ito sa pagiging pangulo ng kanyang Kuya Noy.

Kaya nga sa ngayon, mas tutok si Kris sa social media dahil naniniwala siya na milyun-milyon din ang napapasaya at nai-inspire niya sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga video at “talkshow” sa makapangyarihang mundo ng socmed.
