Kris Aquino, as a nepo baby, received these comments
Prominent celebrity Kris Aquino was featured in this post, which was connected to the recent issue about “nepo babies.”
Nepotism is the term used to describe a practice among influential people, using their power to give favor to a relative, friend, or person associated with them, especially by giving a job or a position. This gave birth to the term “nepo baby,” which refers to the child of an influential parent.
This term somehow has a negative connotation, as some people refer to these children who get what they want and the privileges they are receiving just because of their parents’ influence or wealth.
In recent weeks, the term “nepo baby” became a trending topic on social media, as netizens were referring to the children of wealthy contractors, who were allegedly involved in the government’s anomalous flood control projects.
These nepo babies’ lavish lifestyles were criticized by the online community. However, there were netizens who praised some nepo babies, and one of them was Kris Aquino.
She is the daughter of former Senator Ninoy Aquino and former President Cory Aquino, and the sister of former President Noynoy Aquino. With her family background in politics, Kris made a name in the entertainment industry.
In a Reddit post by @Acustia, Kris was praised for being a nepo baby, but she never used her parents’ influence for her own gain. The netizen highlighted how Kris fulfilled her responsibility as a Filipino by paying the right amount of taxes. During the height of her career, the celebrity was so visible, and projects came left and right.
“Kris Aquino is probably the only nepo baby I admire when it comes to transparency with her paid taxes,” the netizen wrote. The post included the breakdown of the taxes that Kris paid from 2008 to 2015.
In the comment section of the post, many netizens also praised the prominent celebrity, who has been battling her disease for several years now. Here are some comments.
