On her Instagram, Kris posted the following:
“There was a time this quote gave me the strength to stay strong despite the negativity. “Do not judge. You do not know the storm I have asked her to walk through.” It was a more than 3 hour roadtrip to get to my Bataan location for later’s morning shoot- i saw that the GILAS brawl against ?? was all over the news. I read some of the critical comments, and i felt compelled to make a stand… i don’t claim to be close to them, but @coachot has been kind to me, i’ve seen Coach Jong at the Meralco Chapel, but i’ve never met @tbvrome07… But we did watch what transpired over & over again, even in slow-mo… The team is suffering enough, and they have given so much effort for our country. Hindi ba natin sila pwedeng damayan at suportahan ngayon na kailangan nilang maramdaman na ang mga Pinoy hindi nang-iiwan ng kapwa Pinoy? Wag naman sanang mabura ng ilang minuto sa isang gabi ang lahat ng magagandang alaala nung mga panahon na dahil sa #GILAS naging taas noo tayo. (P.S. kung pipili lang ako ng coach & teammates sa kahit na anong mabigat na trabaho, sa nakita kong #unity & #bayanihan nila- sila ang pagdarasal kong maging kakampi.” ??”
