She also thanked the President. “Thank you for acknowledging our family’s loss, and who was behind it. Salamat, Mr. President,” Kris said. The former presidential daughter/sister included in her IG post a short video showing the photos of her mother.
On the othet hand, President Duterte also mentioned a statement against Cory. The Chief Executive of the Philippines that the first woman who became the president of the Philippines spared the property of her family, the Hacienda Luisita, from being subjected to the land reform program of the government during her term.
Apparently, Kris Aquino did not tackle this statement from PRRD on her post. However, netizens also noticed this. A netizen commented this on the popular showbiz site, “Narinig din siguro ni Kris nung sinabi ni DU30 na, Cory declared the Land Reform but exempted Hacienda Luisita. Any comment?”
