While in line at an airport Wednesday, a “stressful” incident took place which Kris Aquino narrated on Instagram the same evening.
The host-actress posted an image with the quote, “It’s nice to be important but it’s more important to be nice,” pertaining how she handle an encounter with two irate men who told her “get out of my f*** way” at the Suvarnabhumu Airport in Bangkok.
Aquino with her sons were on their way home to Manila when the men, who were ahead of her in line to check in at a Philippine Airlines counter, allegedly berated her.
“[I was] respectful of [their] space…na-shock ako when as they were exiting I was told, ‘Get out of my f***ing way because I want to get out of this f***ing country.’ Di ko sila hinarangan, nakapila kami properly. I chose to keep my dignity and didn’t reply”, she narrated.
Surprised, “sobrang stressful that when my sons and I got to the plane, they were seated near us. I just prayed that sana hindi na sila magpaka bastos my sons and I just get back to Manila safely.”
On her post, Aquino pointed out that she could have answered back, but chose not to, considering her detractors.
“I was actually within my rights if you think about it na makipagmurahan, since unprovoked yung pagmura nila directed at me… But what for? Sobrang daling mabaliktad ang kwento and the ‘haters’ will find a way to make it appear na ako ‘yung masama,” she said.
After the incident, she also shared a lesson from her mother.
“People in public life live under a magnifying glass… And it’s something I trained myself to live with. My mom always reminded me ‘to whom much is given, much is expected in return.”
