What is your advice for Kris and Joey?

It’s over as far as the Kris and Joey story goes – and it seems that there has been too much said by both parties and very little done to remedy the situaion. When they aired their reasons for the breakup on national TV, they captured the attention of Filipinos from all walks of life, not just because both are celebrities but perhaps because Filipinos love a good drama, especially if it’s real life drama. But now it’s all over and they have promised not to talk about the matter any more. I guess this means that we can go on with our lives in the hope that Kris and Joey have learned from their mistakes.

Atty. SP SUMULONG: Less talk, less mistake. I advise them to move on and try to forgive and forget. Avoid lawyers, reconcile whatever differences they have, go on a spiritual recollection. There are a lot of bigger and more difficult things in life we have to face. Kris is a role model, being among the highest paid ABS CBN talents and having a lot of endorsements. Joey is a public official and he makes people laugh on TV. Therefore a lot of people look up to both of them.

Father ROBERT REYES: Crisis is healthy for both human and spiritual growth. Embrace it. Sustain it with lots of prayers and penance. In the end enjoy deep peace and liberation. Start living your separate lives with greater honesty, honor and dignity.

MARY PRIETO, advice columnist: Well, I would advise both of them to keep quiet, give no more interviews and settle it out of court.

KATRINA PONCE ENRILE, chief operating officer, Jaka group of companies: It is rather unfortunate because of the public stature of Kris and Joey that this matter in their relationship has become of public knowledge. I hope that they will not be swayed by public opinion and pray that they will find it in their hearts to forgive one another. I do not wish to point fingers at anyone. For the benefit of their respective families, both Kris and Joey should step back, quietly reflect on the cause of their problem, resolve it between the two of them and move on with their lives. They both have a promising future and I hope that they will soon find the strength to accept their situation.

MILA DRILON: (To Kris) I have always respected your mother’s good judgement and spirituality. Just follow what she tells you.

ANTON RODRIGUEZ MENDOZA, architect: In life everything a person does teaches him something about himself and learning a lesson is good if it is accepted with humility and honesty.

JOHNNY LITTON, columnist/businessman: With the present state of events... sobriety! Complete honesty and prayers, lots of prayers!
