Kris Aquino reflects ahead of Noynoy Aquino's 40th Day After Death

By Racquel Quieta

August 2, Monday, will be the 40th Day After Death of former Philippine President Noynoy Aquino, or whom most fondly call PNoy.

On Sunday, August 1, one day ahead of PNoy's 40th Day After Death, his sister, actress-TV host Kris Aquino reflected on his death.

It seemed to be an auspicious time for Kris to reflect on her brother's death as August 1 also happens to be the 12th death anniversary of their mother, Corazon Aquino, also a former president of our country.

Kris noted this at the beginning of her Instagram caption.

She said, “ Mom i am sure won't mind that we are posting this at 2 AM (the hour she died), on the day of her 12th death anniversary, because on August 2, it will be the 40th day since Noy's death.”

Kris is known to be outspoken and almost never shies away when asked about her personal life.

However, the former TV host-actress seemed to have kept mum and kept a low profile ever since the death of their brother Noynoy.

So, in her IG post, Kris talked about why she hasn't spoken in length about their brother Noynoy's death.

“Maraming nilalaman ang puso ko na gusto kong ibahagi sa inyong lahat… sure ako marami ang nagtatataka bakit wala kayong nakitang post, napanuod na interview, o nakitang moment na ako ang nagsalita on behalf of our family.

“But, now is still not the right time for me… naghihintay pa ko ng “go signal” from him- i know my brother will find a way to let “bunso” know when it's time for all of you to hear the story from me of our journey- simply because all of you are a very special part of our journey, one i believe is a continuing one.”

Kris then went on to thank the supporters of their family who have shown them so much love throughout the decades, through all the highs and lows that their family goes through.

“Sa inyo pong lahat, maraming salamat dahil pinaramdam nyo sa aming apat, kay Ate, Pinky, Viel, at sa 'kin na hindi kami nag-iisa sa aming paniniwala that we were truly blessed to have Noy as our brother- na habang buhay naming IPAGMAMALAKI, PASASALAMATAN, HAHANAP HANAPIN, at MAMAHALIN.

“Though still so painful, we know how blessed we were to have been born as the children of Ninoy and Cory, and the sisters of Noynoy Aquino.”
