MANILA, Philippines – Kris Aquino forewarned her bashers that they might have to deal with her for four more decades.
The Queen of All Media has been bashed because of her post about the sunburn she had after walking under the heat of the sun, touring some of the delegates’ spouses around Manila while wearing a lacy Filipiniana.
Kris and her sisters Ballsy Aquino-Cruz, Pinky Aquino-Abellada and Viel Aquino-Dee hosted an event during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) for the delegates’ spouses.
On Friday, Kris said her blood pressure went to 140/90 after receiving negative comments and reactions about her sunburn post.
On first thought, she said that maybe her bashers “won't have to put up w/ me for much longer” because of her condition.
Yet her conversation with former president Fidel V. Ramos changed her mind.
“When I was conversing [with] Former President Ramos [and] asked about his good health [and] long life the other night (a strong [and] robust 87) he said ‘matibay ang masamang damo,'” she recalled.
“So OMG baka I'll be around for 40+ more years!” she added.
She then joked that if her bashers really want her to be gone for good, “pray that Datin Rosmah of Malaysia or Madame Lee of Singapore will be successful in matching me [with] 1 of their countrymen - both said they'd be looking.”
In the end, Kris told her bashers that she’ll survive despite their criticisms, citing how she survived some disheartening events in her life like the assassination of her father Benigno Aquino Jr.
“I survived all the venom thrown at me on social media throughout the campaign [and] PNoy's presidency, but I remain 1 of our country's top taxpayers, I still endorse [and] represent so many top brands [and] institutions, I've donated [and] built homes, schools, and Churches, and I've given numerous educational assistance to students [and] seminarians,” she said.
“In other words, I'M GREAT AT SURVIVING, been doing it my whole life,” she concluded.
