Kris Aquino: Filipinos deserve healthy public servants

-


Movie and television personality Kris Aquino said she is having second thoughts about pursuing a career in politics, saying she is unfit to run because of her health.

"What I have is not curable. I have accepted that. It has no cure. You have to deal with all the symptoms and you can deal with everything that goes with it," said Kris, during a press conference in support of the candidacy of Sen. Bam Aquino who is seeking Senate re-election during a press conference held in Quezon City April 22. 

Timi Aquino, wife of Bam, also expressed the candidacy of her husband.

In October 2018, Kris was diagnosed with Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU), which, according to novartis.co.uk "is a serious, chronic and distressing skin condition that is difficult to diagnose and manage."

Kris added: "You cannot control it but it will be forever be there."

The daughter of former President Cory Aquino said that public servants should be healthy.

"How can you serve the people if you are not sure of your health?Parang bumili ka lang niyan ng TV or cellphone na may one-year warranty. E hindi ko kayo ma-a-assure ng warranty. So nakakahiya di ba?"

"So gusto ko munang i-assure kayo na maganda ang kalusugan ko bago ako mag-serve," said Kris, who was earlier vocal about seeking a political career in the future.

Kris also said that it does not jibe to be a big-spender if you are a public servant.

"Magastos pa rin po ako eh. Kasi hindi ibig sabihin pag pinaghirapan po, dapat ka ng gumastos. Mahirap na bansa ang Pilipinas so dapat gagastos ka ng ayon sa lipunan," she added.

Kris, 48, is also sister of former Philippine President Benigno S. Aquino III.

Asked when she's coming back to television, Kris said: "Ayaw nila sa akin eh. But TV is so stressful." - Robert R. Requintina

"Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh.

Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
