SUPORTADO ng dalawang lady solon ang posibilidad na maging ambassador of goodwill ng United Nations High Commission for Refugees ang TV host/actress na si Kris Aquino, ang bunsong kapatid ni Pangulong Aquino.
Sa magkahiwalay na panayam, sinabi nina Cavite Rep. Lani Mercado at Gabriela Rep. Luz Ilagan na kuwalipikado si Kris sa naturang posisyon, na nauna ng hinawakan nina Princess Diana at Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie.
“Why not? If the UN believes she qualifies, then she can do us proud,” ani Ilagan.
Sinabi ni Presidential Adviser for Political Affairs Ronald Llamas na kasama ang pangalan ni Kris sa mga pinagpipilian ng UNHCR.
Ayon kay Mercado, asawa ni Sen. Ramon Bong Revilla Jr., karangalan na mapabilang ang isang Pinay sa pinagpipilian.
“I think we should be proud that a Filipino is being considered as an ambassador of goodwill of the UNCHR, Kris Aquino’s status, background, experience, commitment and advocacies of goodwill are enough for the position,” ani Mercado.
“I believe that she can make a difference in the lives of refugees not only here in the country but also in the world because she herself experienced being uprooted in her own country when she was young.”
