Kris Aquino defends brother Noynoy's TV Patrol speech: “[He] has the right to defend himself & express his opinion.”

by Nerisa Almo posted on July 31, 2012  STATS: 51240 Views | 79 Comments

Kris Aquino posted this message on her Twitter account last night, July 30, to defend her brother, President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III: “[He] has the right to defend himself & express his opinion. Freedom of speech is a 2 way street right?”

PNoy was criticized by ABS-CBN stalwarts for taking Noli de Castro to task when the President delivered a “prangka” speech at the 25thanniversary celebration of TV Patrol last Friday, July 27.

Nagbigay ng pahayag ang TV host-actress na si Kris Aquino bilang depensa sa kanyang kapatid na si Pangulong Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III kaugnay ng “prangka” speech ni PNoy sa pagdiriwang ng ika-25 anibersaryo ng TV Patrol noong Biyernes, July 27.

Sa kanyang personal Twitter account ay sumagot si Kris sa isang Twitter post, kung saan naka-tag siya:

Sabi ng nag-tag kay Kris, dapat daw ay hindi inaatake ng Pangulo ang media.

Bilang depensa, sinabi naman ni Kapamilya TV host-actress na karapatan din ng kanyang kapatid ang magbigay ng sariling opinyon.

“@NinaBellatrix1 has the right to defend himself & express his opinion? Freedom of speech is a 2 way street right?” sabi ni Kris sa kanyang Twitter post kagabi, July 30.

Sabi pa ni Kris, “@NinaBellatrix1 PNoy is our president & I do believe the majority of our people feel he's doing a great job. Maybe he just like anybody else.”

Ilang araw rin bago nagbigay ng komento si Kris tungkol sa isyung ito. Nag-iingat lang daw kasi siya sa kanyang masasabi.

Kaya naman bago siya sumagot kagabi sa isang user, sinabi niya: “@NinaBellatrix1 hi Nina. Prayed be4 I replied to make sure I don't tweet the wrong thing. My issues r so trivial in comparison to PNoy.”

MALACAÑANG EXPLAINS. Samantala, nilinaw ng Malacañang na ang talumpati ng Pangulo sa pagdiriwang ng ika-25 anibersaryo ng TV Patrol ay hindi lamang ipinaparating sa ABS-CBN kundi sa lahat ng mga media outfit.

Ayon sa ulat ng ABS-CBN News, sinabi ni Presidential Communications Group Secretary Sonny Coloma: “Pinupunto lang ng Pangulo, maaaring maging instrumento sa pagbabago yung mass media sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay din ng mabuting balita, positibong mensahe, na siyang mag-e-encourage din sa ating mga kababayan.”

Ganito rin umano ang naging tema ng talumpati ni PNoy sa isang okasyon ng Philippine Press Institute (PPI).

At halos ganito rin ang naging tema ng kanyang talumpati nang dumalo siya sa pagdiriwang ng ika-25 anibersaryo naman ng pahayagang Business World kamakailan.

THE “PRANGKA” SPEECH. Nag-umpisa ang usap-usapan sa pagiging prangka ni PNoy nang magpasaring siya sa isang news anchor ng TV Patrol na hindi niya pinangalanan.

    let me repeat myself, if penoy was MAN enough, he wouldve mentioned Noli's name instead of making insinuations... still, he decided to ruin the whole situation by acting like a brat...

    Totoo namang puro negative ang comments ng ex VP na yan kay PNoy. Samantalang nung nasa puwesto sya at nangungurakot yung presidente nya eh quiet sya. Palibhasa siguro ang akala nya eh sya ang i-e-endorse na presidential candidate ng Lakas. Sorry na lang at may sariling agenda si Ate Glo kaya si Gibo ang in-endorse. Kaya ngayon gumagawa na naman ng ingay para bumango na naman ang pangalan at makapuwesto na naman sa gobyerno, palibhasa naudlot ang ambisyon maging presidente.

    Funny how people would think that it's ok for the media to attack the President's private and public persona and contend that it's wrong for the President to say his piece when he has the opportunity to do so. Kris is right in saying that the freedom of speech is a two-way street. The media abuse in the Philippines is rampant where news are delivered in a biased manner - who else will castigate the media better than the President of the Philippines. Grow up and be more sensible mga kababayang Pinoy.

    I totally agree with you manjo. I've noticed that most comments here are what you call coming from palengke, full of profanities and hatred. I hope they learn how to give subtle, objective and constructive criticisms. Just my two cents.

    It's Noynoy who should grow up.

    typical of Pinoys to magnify and see fault and wrongdoings but can never address the problem objectively. Pnoy brought some integrity back to the Philippines when he "cleaned" his "backyard" ... tingnan nyo na lang ang GDP figures for the last two years and compare that to Gloria's 6-year term - we're on the right track. Di yan nararamdaman ng mga Pinoy dahil coz they're busy complaining about everything in their lives instead of contributing to the upliftment of Pnoy's program. Sa dami ng namihasang mangurakot during the past administration, it is a big feat for Pnoy to clean-up - common sense na lang.

    Ganito Lang yan! Kapag totoo masakit tanggapin... Di ako mkPnoy pero agree ako sa pagkaprangka Nya, walang wrong and right timing, pag may opportunity, grab it! Mabuti nga yan, para malaman ng tao, hanggang satsat Lang si noli, kahit ppaano may ipinakita ng galing si Pnoy... Kaya kayong mga nega, MOVE ON!

    Coming from a family with great education and reputation when it comes to decorum, it's a disappointment. Mr. President, focus on positive! I'm not a big fan of Noli Boy but to ruin the 25th anniversary with "pasaring" to one person who pissed you off, is uncalled for. I guess being "tacklesa" runs in the family.

    Pnoy has all the right to feel offended. His mother Cory gave back abs cbn and meralco back to the lopezes. Hindi sapat na tinulungan nila si Pnoy para wasakin si Manny Villar at Erap Estrada noong nakaraang election.

    have you tried reading the transcript of his speech?... im not a yellow ribbon army but looking at both sides, i think it was not intended to bash, it is straightforward which the filipinos are not accustomed to..

    07/31/2012 | 11:51 PM
    it WAS intended to bash... let's be realistic about that...
    pepper_salt
    08/01/2012 | 01:37 PM
    well, i would have to disagree with you. He stated facts, it'll probably be considered bashing because again, filipinos are not acquainted with straight talks!.. just dont sweat on it too much and would appreciate if you show a little respect by calling him with his name, you yourself would prefe to be called by your name wont you and not with some trashy ones?

    Pnoy's speech may have been inappropriate but I guess just for this one time his frank speech might make ABS news dept. to ask itself if it was really a wise move to hire Noli back. It's definitely uncomfortable for a former politician from the past admin to make any commentaries on the present admin. It makes him less credible considering that during his time, there's nothing much that he has done for the progress of our country. This is just what I can say - the nerve.

    BAKIT warla ngayon ang ABS v.s. Pnoy? diba bata nila ito at puspusan noon ang mind conditioning machine ng Dos para manalo ang kuya ni Kris? Ano kayang kahihinatnan ng issue na ito? Mawala kaya ang SPECIAL PREFERENCE ng mga Aquino sa estasyon ni Gabby Lopez? Naku baka patalsikin si KABAYAN at mapunta sa TV5?

    Kung galit pala siya sa media at sa TV Patrol, particularly Noli de Castro, sana di na lang siya nagpunta dun! That was not the right time and place to insult someone who was one of the forces behind the show that was being honored. Kung masama pala loob niya, di sana tinanggihan niya ang imbitasyon. BRAT talaga. BRAT to the core. Arrogant, condescending, disrespectful, sorry excuse for a president. No wonder he was voted online as the WORLD'S WORST Leader. Nakakahiya!

    Sure. Meron siyang freedom of speech, pero meron din si Noli DE Castro. Just because he once was the VP does not mean na wala na siyang karapatan magtrabaho as a news anchor. Besides, freedom of speech just like every other freedom is NEVER absolute. It is relative. Limited by the respect for other's freedom as well. We, as citizens of a free country can basically do whatever we want, but our actions should not be contrary to LAW, MORALS, GOOD CUSTOMS, PUBLIC POLICY and PUBLIC ORDER. Nasa batas yan. Wala ba talagang alam yang si Noynoy? Yung ginawa niya, obvious na contrary to good customs. That was not the time and place to b1tch about Noli. Ilagay sa lugar and tantrums niya. Kaloka siya. The party was to honor TV Patrol, hindi political rally. Walang modo talaga.

    agree...sa mga sinabi mo. imbes na maging balat sibuyas sa critism ng media dapat pinagtutuunan nya ng pansin ang gahamang chinese na binubullyyy ang pinas ah d nya kaya magsalita ng masama against sa chinese kasi kadugo nya yun and or else bombahin ang malakanyang masyadong sissy ang presidente ng pinas.
