"We are not MTRCB. We are not ABS-CBN. We are not KBP. But we are the Aquino family. And for our family, we take Willie's apology for what it is—an apology. And we accept the apology," says Kris Aquino about Wilie Revillame (inset).

Limang araw pagkatapos mailibing ang mga labi ni dating Pangulong Corazon Aquino ay muling nagbalik sa trabaho ang bunsong anak niya na si Kris Aquino sa SNN (Showbiz News Ngayon) kagabi, Agosto 10.  Ang SNN ang late night showbiz-oriented show ng ABS-CBN na hinu-host ni Kris kasama si Boy Abunda.

Bukod sa pagpapahayag ni Kris ng kanyang saloobin at pagsisiwalat ng kanyang mga susunod na hakbang ngayong wala na ang kanyang pinakamamahal na ina, nagsalita rin ang TV host-actress tungkol sa kapwa niya Kapamilya na si Willie Revillame.

Muli na naman kasing nasa gitna ng kontrobersiya si Willie. Ito ay nag-ugat sa pagpapatanggal niya ng live feed ng procession ng paglilipat ng mga labi ni Pangulong Aquino mula sa La Salle Greenhills patungo sa Manila Cathedral sa Intramuros, Manila, noong Agosto 3.  Marami ang hindi nagkagusto sa paraan ng pagsasabi ni Willie na tanggalin ang live feed ng cortege habang umeere ang hinu-host niyang noontime show na Wowowee. (Click here to read related story.)

Maging ang chairperson ng Movie and Television Review and Classification Board na si Ms. Consoliza Laguardia ay hindi nagustuhan ang ginawa ni Willie. Ayon sa MTRCB Chair, nilabag ni Willie ang broadcast code of ethics ng Kapisanan ng Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) at ang Sec. 3 ng Presidential Decree 1986—"being objectionable and contrary to good customs and tradition."

Ilang grupo rin ng mga mamamahayag—National Press Club at Alyansa ng Filipinong Mamahayag (Afima)—ang kumondena sa naging pahayag ni Willie. Samantalang may mga online petition na rin sa Internet upang i-ban ang TV host sa telebisyon. (Click here to read related story.)

Subalit para sa pamilya Aquino, ayon kay Kris, pinapatawad nila si Willie sa ginawa niya.

Narito ang buong pahayag ni Kris sa SNN kagabi tungkol kay Willie:


THE AQUINO FAMILY SPEAKS UP. "First of all, Friday [August 7] ko lang nalaman lahat," simula ni Kris. "Hindi natin alam kung ano ang mga nagaganap, kasi nandun ka sa sitwasyon na 'yon [pagyao ni President Aquino]. Friday, it so happened na mag-aayos kami ng mga gamit ng Mom sa Times [Street, tahanan ng mga Aquino]. So si Ate Ballsy [panganay sa magkakapatid] at Pinky [pangalawa sa pinakamatanda] went to the house.

"So I said... Thursday night [August 6] kasi nakausap ko si Willie. Pero vague, I mean, hindi klaro. So, Friday namin pinanood sabay-sabay sa YouTube [yung statement ni Willie sa Wowowee]... We didn't really get to talk about it much kasi nagpunta na kami ng Times at nag-ayos na kami ng mga things ni Mom.

"But on our way—so this is Friday—Willie asked, 'Puwede ko bang makausap yung mga kapatid mo?' So, kinausap niya si Pinky. Si Pinky yung una niyang nakausap. And then, sinabi ni Willie sa kanya na nagsu-sorry siya talaga. What Pinky said was, 'Alam mo, napanood namin at nakikita naman namin na hindi yung intensiyon ang masama. Yung pamamaraan ng pagsabi no'n ang puwedeng maka-offend sa ilan. Pero Willie, naiintindihan ka namin.'

"Sorry siya nang sorry kay Pinky, and Pinky said, 'As far as I am concerned Willie, it's finished, let's move on. Okay, we accept your apology.'

"Sunday [August 9], nagla-lunch kami, nag-text si Willie and he said, 'Puwede bang makausap ko kayong lahat?' So, feeling ko naman, in our family, si Ate ang dapat makausap niya talaga. So, I gave Ate the phone. Again, Willie explained and said he was sorry.

"TINATANGGAP NAMIN ANG APOLOGY MO." "This is the part I would like to share with everybody," patuloy ni Kris, "I got certain text messages before coming here na kung ide-defend ko daw si Willie, parang binastos ko na ang Mom. Gusto ko lang pong sabihin sa inyo na Willie can very well defend himself. Pero ito po ang namagitan between him and our family.

"Nung nagsu-sorry si Willie kay Ate, I didn't even know this, Boy... Sinabi ni Ate sa kanya, 'Alam mo Willie, nung time na nagkaroon ng problema yung puso mo, we were here—in Ate's house dun sa lanai—kakakain namin ng dinner, naka-on yung TV sa TV Patrol. Niyayaya na namin si Mom na pumasok sa kuwarto kasi time na para mag-rosaryo.' Kasi every night, sabay-sabay silang nagpe-pray. And then Mom said, 'Wait, I want to know kung kumusta si Willie.' And then, Ate told Willie, 'Alam mo, Mom really loved you. She really appreciated the fact na ang bait mo sa mga anak ni Kris.' And sinabi ni Ate sa kanya, 'Willie, as far is our family is concerned, nag-sorry ka na, tinatanggap namin ang apology mo.'

"We are not MTRCB. We are not ABS-CBN. We are not KBP. But we are the Aquino family. And for our family, we take Willie's apology for what it is—an apology. And we accept the apology.

"Wala po sa kamay namin ang mangyayari in the future. Pero I can speak on behalf of myself, my sisters, and my brother, we accept his apology."

    the fact na sinabi ni kris ito means nakakatatal na sa utak nya ito... sorry to say willie, hindi nya sisirain ang family nya nang dahil lang sa iyo. as simple as that.

    If ABS CBN and TFC management is without balls in dealing with Willie Revillame, I believe the Filipino people, especially those watching should boycott this program. If nothing drastic is done by the management to Willie Revillame, I think the public should also boycott and stop buying the products of the companies advertising in the program. Hit them where it really hurts. And for the advertisers, it is time for them to use their common sense listen to public clamor by withdrawing their advertising contracts with ABS CBN and TFC particularly, advertising support for this program. If the Filipino people will be united and act together by not watching Wowowee, boycotting and stop buying products of the advertisers, then they would have no recourse but to withdraw their advertising commitments from ABS CBN and TFC, and the management will be forced to discipline Willie Revillame. I am sure they can find a better host with more talent and sensibilities and unlike this unpatriotic and arrogant host.

    it was classy of kris to say what she said and i think kung di nya accept apology ni willie it will go against the teachings of her parents pero from what i understand,acknowledged ni pinky na inappropriate ang pagkasabi ni willie pero move on na lang for them, they have more impt things to do.at kung me penalty labas na sina kris.after that incident never na akong nanuod ng wowowee and it's time a harsher punishment be given to him.

    Going through this article, I imagine Willie was mukhang MAAMONG TUPA sa pag hingi ng sorry sa Aquino family, pero kapag nasa TV siya, kung umasta at magsalita, parang napakalaking tao niya? Sabi ni Mr. M. perfectionist siya. Wala kayang mirror si Willie para makita niya ang sarili niya? Kita niya ang pagkakamali ng iba at ganoon na lang kung paano niya hiyain on public TV pero sarili niya hindi niya nakikita? I love the show but not the host, specifically Willie. One more thing, and sorry to say this. Feel ko lang, si Marielle, may tendency rin. Watch out Marielle! You guys are responsible for the consequences of your actions. Hindi kaya responsible din ang director ng show sa gulong ito? Sino ba director nito?

    yabang mo naman, to each his own. kanya-kanyang gusto lang yan. if watching wowoweee makes people happy, so be it. if it annoys you so much, then don't! don't be judgmental as to who is walang asenso o mas asenso porke nasa US ka. don't judge people by the shows they watch! sana asensado kang tunay dyan sa US!

    disenteng pamilya ang mga Aquino, natural patatawarin nila si willie, pero deep inside nasaktan din ang mga yon, lalo na si kris. aamin din yan after mahatulan ng mtrcb. basta kami boycott na sa wowowee, matagal na matagal na. imagine almost 15 years na kaming subscriber, ngayon lang kami nabwisit sa show. kaya dapat tanggalin na si willie sa show. mas marami pang magaling na talents ang abs. bakit di ibalik si amy perez at roderick paulate. magaling na may breeding pa.

    Im not seeing any talent with Willie at all. So maybe that's why I hate him. I dont even care if he will stay as the wowowe host, I dont watch the show anyway. But if they will replace him, I might give it a try.

    Kung si wowowee lang naman, mas gugustuhin ko pa manood na lang ng disney pictures. Mas may sense pa. Mataas kamo rating ng wowowee??? Sige matulog ka ulit and continue dreaming. Kayong mga supporters lang ng aroganteng willie ang nagsasabi nyan.
