We caught up with the live interview of Kris Aquino by Boy Abunda at La Salle Greenhills where the wake of the woman dubbed as “icon of democracy” is being held.
Too bad that Boy interrupted Kris at the point when she was relating the conversation with a Malacañang representative who offered a state funeral for the former president and Malacañang as venue of the wake, which the Aquino family declined.
Kris said the family decided that she be the one to meet with the Malacañang representative,because if it would be her brother, opposition senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, it would be difficult not have it mixed up with partisan politics.
Kris said the Malacañang representative was saying that they were in a damn-if-you-do, damn-if-you-don’t situation as far as official honors for her mother was concerned. She remarked, “Di ko problema ang problema ninyo, ang problema ko lang, Mom ko.”

Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III said personally, he “would not totally welcome Gloria Arroyo and Imelda Marcos” but if they come to the wake of his mother, former President Corazon Aquino,they would be treated with “civility.”
In an interview by David Celdran on ANC, Noynoy said he was expressing personal views and that the matter would have to be discussed by the family. “I would not totally welcome (Arroyo’s visit) but we have been taught civility, he said.
Asked if the same applies to Imelda Marcos, he replied “yes.”

Riddle of the day: What’s the difference between a fairytale and a state- of- the- nation address?
Answer, according a text message: A fairytale is fiction with dwarfs as characters.SONA has a dwarf relating fiction.
Gloria Arroyo was not even an engaging storyteller. Bitchy, catty and spiteful, she looked so ugly.
