Following the controversial kiss made by the Philippine president, Mocha posted an old video of the late Aquino being kissed by women in a plane moments before he was shot dead. And Kris took to Instagram and Facebook to cry foul of Mocha’s action for maligning the memory and legacy of her parents.
“Pinaslang ang tatay ko at ‘yung dalawang babaeng ‘yun, nahalikan siya bago siya bumaba at bago siya na-assassinate. Hindi mo alam ‘yung sakit na pinaramdam mo doon sa post na ‘yun, kasi naisip ko, sana nabigay ‘yung karapatan na ‘yun sa mom ko. My mom deserved that because my mom gave her entire life to my dad,” Kris said referring to Mocha’s post.
According to the Queen of All Media, she was speaking as a daughter and a mom in her video as she felt the need to defend her deceased parents.

“If I allow those mistakes and those lies about my parents to continue, I am not worthy to carry their name. So, I just want to say, I’m ready for you and this is a direct challenge to you. Face me, face me anywhere. Text me, you can find my number. Ang dali. Name the place, name the location. Let’s carry it live. Bring all your followers, I can stand alone. But, stop it. Stop doing this to two people who have never hurt you. Hindi ka nila binastos dahil patay na sila,” she stated.
“Hindi ka rin binastos ng kapatid ko pero labas siya sa usapan na ‘to. Buhay siya, kaya niya ipagtanggol ang sarili niya. Pero hindi kaya ng nanay at tatay ko. Pero ako buhay na buhay. So ako, balahura rin ako eh, ganyan eh. Ganyan ang labanan eh, kailangan ka talagang lumaban,” she also added.
Kris further expressed her hurt saying she can stoop down to Mocha’s level in order to spare her parents.
She said, “Kung gusto mo ng kalaban, kung gusto mo ng punching bag, kung gusto mong taong sasampal-sampalin, kung gusto mo ng taong sasabunutan, nandito ako. I’m ready. I’m ready for you. I don’t know if you’re ready for me."
“Galit na galit po ako. Pero napansin niyo ni minsan, hindi po ako nagmura. Hindi po ako pinalaki ng ganyan. Hindi po ako pinalaki para mambastos. Pero pag binabastos na ang mga magulang ko, kaya ko talaga. Wala akong uurungan, at hindi kita uurungan,” she continued.
