Kris "selfish" re Noynoy request
Some netizens responded negatively to celebrity host Kris Aquino’s request for her brother Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III to prolong his bachelorship.
“It's very selfish for Kris Aquino to ask that kind of request. Her brother, like everybody, deserves to be happy. How old na ba si Noynoy? Nasa 40’s na. Kelan niya gustong mag-asawa ang kapatid niya? 50?” read one of many such comments circulating on the web.
Another comment made a swipe at Kris’ controversial past: “She with all her scandalous relationships should be the last person on planet Earth to judge someone else's relations. If she was trying to be funny, well...she wasn't.”
Still another shared: “Maybe she doesn’t want (Noy's marriage plans) to be like the Korina-Mar spectacle — showbiz na showbiz.”
In an interview on ABS-CBN's “Showbiz News Ngayon,” Kris said she is giving a hundred percent support to the presidential bid of her brother.
She, however, has one request -- that her brother remain a bachelor.
"He has so many decisions to make na, so I told Noy: 'I only have one request. Whatever is it that you decide, please stay single. I wish you won't complicate life even further."
Kris said Noynoy simply laughed off her request responding only with a curt: “'Ayaw mo talaga akong tantanan diyan,'" she revealed.
During Cory's funeral service held August 5, Kris twitted Noynoy about her son, Josh’s supposed request, telling Noynoy: “Noy, remember what Josh told you in the hospital, 'Please Tito Noy, never get married.'”
Noynoy is currently dating Shalani "Lani" Soledad, a councilor of Valenzuela's 2nd district.
There are talks that Kris and the rest of the Aquino siblings are not in favor of the young politician, owing to their “big age gap” (Noynoy is 49 while Soledad is only 28).
The camp of Soledad, however, belied the rumors. “Completely untrue,” says a close friend of the lady councilor.
Soledad’s friend said the lady councilor’s critics should not give malice to what Kris has said.
“Lani and Kris and the three other sisters of Noynoy are getting along fine. They like Lani. Kris even admitted that she, Lani, and Noynoy had a long lunch recently and that her sons Joshua and Baby James love her,” the same source said.
