“…I AM PROUD of my brother. I AM PROUD OF MY PRESIDENT”, a cut from the post Kris Aquino made on Instagram earlier noting that she is proud of her brother who has been working hard to reprieve Mary Jane Veloso from the Indonesian death row.

Amidst criticisms over PNoy Administration, the sister said that she prayed hard for her brother and for Veloso.
“I kept quiet & just prayed. Left & right paulit ulit na walang ginawa, walang effort, walang malasakit, patalsikin, walang nagawa si Noynoy. (Thank You Manila Bulletin for the accurate front page.) 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,” Kris posted.
Been reminded by Pres.Aquino, Kris held silence over distracters and harsh statements against her brother but this time took the chance to vent her stand.
She disclosed in her post, “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.”
