Kris Aquino is back to being a talk show host through Kris TV, which is aired daily on ABS-CBN at 9:30 a.m.
The energetic host opened the show by making carrot-apple juice, which was sampled by several audience members. She revealed that drinking carrot-apple juice is part of her morning routine.
Gracing the premiere of Kris TV as her guest is none other than Senator Francis "Chiz" Escudero. Quite popular among the youth, the active senator regularly gives interviews to radio stations.
On Kris TV, the senator bared his other "personal side." Senator Chiz admits that he likes to tinker with things and considers a popular hardware store as one of his hangouts. As such, Kris requested him to "assemble" a stool, which he gamely did.
COOKING ADOBO RICE. The senator was also given the opportunity to showcase his culinary skills by cooking one of his favorite dishes, Adobo Rice.
Kris asked him: "You do like the kitchen talaga?"
He revealed, "Nag-aral ako last year under a foreign chef."
But since the foreign chef taught him complicated dishes, Senator Chiz decided to learn to cook adobo from his friend Reggie Aspiras.
While in the process of cooking, the senator asked Kris: "Gusto mo mas maitim?" pertaining to the soy sauce ingredient. His statement playfully alluded to Makati Mayor Jun-Jun Binay who is being romantically linked to Kris. The audience laughed at Senator Chiz's teasing.
"Di ko sasagutin 'yon...was Kris' answer as she added: "Pinagpawisan ako dun ha!"
She mentioned though, "Alam niya kung saan ako nakatira...kaya sinamahan ako..."
ON TREE PLANTING. Earlier, Kris went on a tree-planting session with the senator at the La Mesa Eco Park. He revealed that tree-planting is one of his hobbies.
Kris disclosed that she isn't a fan of the outdoors but the activity opened her eyes to the joy of communing with Nature.
"Masaya yung feeling to be one with the earth," was her comment.
The senator thoughtfully stated, "Pagkatapos mong magtanim, pakiramdam mo, may nagawa kang kabutihan."
ON LEADING A SIMPLE LIFE. Senator Chiz spent his growing up years in Sorsogon, which is famous for the whale shark or "butanding."
