Queen of all media Kris Aquino aired her sentiments over the issue about her alleged disagreement with her brother Noynoy Aquino over the relocation of the statue of their father Ninoy Aquino which was recently removed from the corner of Timog Avenue and Quezon Avenue where it was erected in 2009.
In an Instagram post, Kris clarified that the relocation of her dad’s statue has never been an issue between her and Noynoy, as well as among their family members.

She wrote alongside a photo of her dad and soon Bimby: “Speaking of my dad, to clarify HINDI po naging issue sa family where our his statue would be relocated.
“Ate had messaged all of us after Mayor Joy Belmonte had communicated with her that MMDA had requested a change of venue. 2 options were given, Parks & Wildlife or the area near Trinoma/Vertis North where @iloveayalamalls is doing a lot of expansions. Hindi po issue na Noy chose DENR’s Parks & Wildlife and i wanted the mall development area… obvious naman na magkaiba talaga kami, and clear din na we practice freedom of choice in our family. My vote had gone to the area nearer malls because i had felt mas mataas ang “foot traffic” and more of our youth would see my dad’s likeness on a regular basis and maybe have some curiosity about Ninoy Aquino & his contribution to Philippine democracy as we know it today.”
She then talked about how she and her brother are still rebuilding their relationship after they faced issues in the past.
“Hindi naman secret sa inyo, rebuilding our relationship as brother and sister remains a work in progress for us BUT hindi ibig sabihin na wala na kong pagmamahal at respeto sa “kuya” ko na naging napaka mahalagang bahagi ng magandang pagpapalaki ko kay kuya josh. So kung trip nyong gawing teleserye ang buhay pamilya namin, ma bo-bored lang kayo kasi walang matinding di pagkakaunawaan na nagaganap. Hindi ko rin kayo pa-plasticin at sasabihan na very close kami, we’re not- last time kaming nagkita was more than 4 months ago.
“But really? Location ng statue ng dad namin ang gustong gamitin na issue to widen our gap? Trust me we’ve had more disagreements of substance than that. It’s just that we respect our mom’s memory so much that whatever differences we may have, we choose to keep them private in the hope that TIME will help heal & resolve all of them. #familyfirst 💛,” Kris wrote.
