Kris gets defensive over brother

Kris Aquino is defensive about criticism of her brother President NoyNoy Aquino’s handling of the death of 44 police commandos in Mamapasano, Maguindanao last week.

Kris reportedly unfollowed Judy Anne Santos on Instagram when the latter posted a photo that expressed her opinion about the president’s no-show at the arrival honours for the slain police heroes.

Kris was quoted on Instagram saying: “I cannot stop myself from defending people I love.” She added, “Truth, I have friends who privately spoke to me about how they wished the president had done things differently, the word there is private & w respect. We listened to each other, we may not agree but at least we listened. I read the messages. I didn’t want to prolong the issue so I just exited.”
