IPINAGTANGGOL ni Kris Aquino ang kanyang yumaong inang si dating Pangulong Cory Aquino laban sa mga trolls na nagpapakalat ng fake news sa social media.
Ani Kris, may mga taong nagtatangkang baguhin ang kasaysayan ng bansa, lalo na sa nagawa ng kanyang ina bilang dating pangulo ng bansa.
Sa kanyang Instagram account, nag-post ng mahabang mensahe si Kris para ipaalam sa buong mundo ang tangkang sirain ang legacy ni Tita Cory para pagtakpan ang mga nangyari noong panahon ni dating Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos.
Narito ang kumpletong IG post ni Kris: “So much of our history is trying to be rewritten & erased by those paying their trolls & fake news purveyors to whitewash their culpability for the killings & suffering they inflicted on our country during the years before our democracy from the dictatorship in 1986.
“I know our family is not perfect- but the woman standing beside me in this picture who is peacefully in heaven deserves her daughter to stand up for her legacy. I chose this picture taken during Time Magazine’s 80th anniversary celebration in 2006, commemorating when they first started awarding Persons of the Year because it is something that brings back so many happy & hopeful memories.
“I was in the early part of my 2nd trimester carrying Bimb in my tummy, Mom was more than a year away from her cancer diagnosis… Cory Aquino is the only Filipino to hold the distinct honor of having been chosen as Woman of the Year in 1986, to quote TIME ‘Whatever else happens in her rule, Aquino has already given her country a bright, and inviolate, memory. More important, she has also resuscitated its sense of identity and pride.’
“Until 1999 this award was either called Man or Woman of the Year. Paraphrasing portions of bustle.com- It is noteworthy that apart from my Mom, in the 91 Man, Woman, or Persons of the Year issues- Time has only awarded the title to an INDIVIDUAL woman 3 other times, Wallis Simpson in 1936, Queen Elizabeth II in 1952, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in 2015… YES- we live in a democracy, a large part of that is thanks to her.
“Kaya malaya kayong sabihin ang lahat ng paninirang gusto nyong itapon sa aming pagkatao. Pero hindi ako naging dugo at laman ng babaeng ito kung hindi ko sya ipagtatanggol at ipamumukha sa mga walang respeto sa sumakabilang buhay na, yung putik na pilit nyong ginagamit para yurakan ang pagkatao nya ay kailanman hindi didikit dahil kasinungalingan ang pinanggagalingan.
“As my Mom taught me so well- a lie no matter how beautifully produced will remain just that- an embarrassing lie. But the TRUTH will stand strong through the test of history. 🇵🇭#mymothersdaughter.”
