PROUD na proud si Kris Aquino kay Pangulong Noynoy sa naging papel nito sa kaso ng Pinay overseas worker na si Mary Jane Veloso sa Indonesia.
Ayon kay Kris, naniniwala siya na malaki ang nagawa ng pakikipag-usap ng kanyang kuya kay Indonesian President Joko Widodo para huwag munang matuloy ang pagbitay kay Mary Jane by firing squad.
Narito ang mahabang pahayag ni Kris sa kanyang Instagram account: “And I kept quiet w/ the endless attacks against PNoy because that was his reminder to me, but today it is my right & my privilege to say, I AM PROUD of my brother. I AM PROUD OF MY PRESIDENT.”
“I kept quiet & just prayed. Left & right paulit ulit na walang ginawa, walang effort, walang malasakit, patalsikin, walang nagawa si Noynoy.
“Our whole family prayed, of course for Mary Jane and her family, but I prayed deeply for the Holy Spirit to guide my brother & his government to find a way to spare the life of a fellow Filipino.
“To find a reason compelling enough for the Indonesian govt to give Mary Jane Veloso a reprieve, and it came because of testimony regarding the greater problem of HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
“I prayed for God to bless our relations w/ Indonesia… Australia, Brazil, Nigeria, and even an Indonesian died by firing squad.
“From the New York Times I quote: ‘Saying Indonesia had a right to exercise its drug laws, Mr Joko’s govt. rejected international pleas to cancel the executions, including from Ban Ki Moon, Secretary General of the United Nation.’
“I firmly believe that we must respect the laws of each country, and as Filipinos we will take offense when other countries will dictate upon us… “But we are a God fearing, faithful nation. And He heard our collective prayer.”
