Kris Aquino to her haters: 'I am still standing.'

By Cara Emmeline Garcia

“I am not blind, and I am not stupid,” pens Queen of All Media Kris Aquino as she defends her sons, Josh and Bimby, against bullies on Instagram.

On Monday, March 8, the mother of two penned a lengthy post on the social media site to tell her detractors that she will not be silenced against the many false allegations that hounded her and her sons in the past week.

“In a span of a week, my children have been used to trigger me,” she said.

“Kuya Josh, with zero factual basis, was said to have impregnated a girl.

"Bimb has been repeatedly targeted with bullying because people are insisting he is gay.”

Kris added, “Regarding Kuya Josh, name us and show us the girl. About Bimb, he is 13 years old. I know my son doesn't identify as being gay, BUT in the event he ever does, he will still be my son.

“The bullying you are doing is a reflection of your homophobic attitudes that are no longer welcome in 2021.”

The 50-year-old television personality went on to say that she will not tolerate these kinds of attitudes in her personal life.

She added, “What is very clear to me is that some people cannot stand the fact that despite all their efforts to bury me, I am still standing.

“And they must be cringing at a time when our country is hungry and struggling.

"As a private citizen, I am doing my part with my hard-earned money to share with those in need.”

In the latter part of her post, she warned her detractors to stay away from her children because she will continue to protect them and fight back when needed.

“You picked the wrong children to harass and bully because this mother knows your motives,” she said.

“What does a lioness do when her cubs are threatened? She attacks. Google and see what else she is capable of. This isn't a threat. I am merely stating a fact.”

Kris concluded, “Leave my children alone, and I will remain a private citizen. Continue messing with them, then you are pushing me in the direction you are so obviously afraid I will take.

“The yellow brick road is starting to look very inviting now.”

Just last week, Kris Aquino commented on the fake news regarding her firstborn son, Joshua Aquino, becoming a father.

She said on Instagram, dated March 5, “Like any parent, initially nung pinakita sa 'kin 'yung YouTube fake news about Kuya [Josh], nagalit ako.

“Because he is in the autism spectrum, he was made a punching bag on social media just because it was convenient when people wanted to play dirty politics.

Kris relayed, “Tanggap namin na malabong mangyari for Josh to have a wife and children, pero marunong talaga ang langit.

“Binubuhusan s'ya ng sobra sobrang pagmamahal ng lahat ng mga pinsan ko at kapitbahay n'ya ngayon sa Tarlac because his HEART is pure and his affection is real.”
