Kris Aquino maintained that she’s smart enough to determine the people she can call her true friends even during the lowest point of her life.
She gave this statement in response to a netizen warning her to be careful about “balimbing” friends once she makes a showbiz comeback.
In the comments thread of her Instagram, a netizen wrote: “nako lalabas na ung mga balimbing mong friends kuno Miss @krisaquino."
"kaya this time ingat ingat din pag may time and treasure mo ung mga taong ksama mo nung nasa lowest point ka ng career mo.”
Kris replied, “@mmaamaslove please don't underestimate my inteligence?”
COMEBACK PROJECT. This exchange of messages came after the 47-year-old TV host-actress announced via Instagram that “complicated negotiations” for her impending comeback project has been given the green light.
While Kris did not mention details about it, she alluded that she feels at “home” with the “production team” that she’s going to work with.
Her Instagram caption, posted last night, April 16, partly read: “now in Tokyo, i got the all systems GO confirmation...and this Friday... may nininerbyos na magbabalik... #home #family #lovelovelove ♥?♥?♥?”
In the comments section of her post, Kris further wrote that she doesn’t feel “bitter” despite the setbacks that she experienced in her showbiz career since mid-2016.
A netizen with the Instagram handle @ooyob2015 told Kris: “They will pick u up kasi mavango ka na uli hahhaha.
“eh tinapon ka na nga di ba? nung uncertain they dont even bother to offer you somethong but now u jave proven yourself sila ang nag reach out.. hahahha. kaloka.”
Kris replied: “@ooyob2015 but see i've learned- life is too short to be bitter.
“And that is the whole point- i proved myself on my own.
“So i'm going back to a project that was exciting because i dont have to do it but i want to do it.
“life lesson-stay humble or the world will do it for you.”
ON CAREER SETBACKS. It should be noted that her contract with ABS-CBN, her former home network for 20 years, expired on March 23, 2016.
Her last daily hosting stint was for Kapamilya network's morning talk show Kris TV, which concluded in April 2016.
Since then, the TV host-actress has encountered career roadblocks in several negotiations for her supposed TV comeback.
This prompted Kris to establish her presence on digital platform with the help of her own business team.
But most recently, Kris announced that she will soon return to the big screen, with two upcoming movies apart from the original production that she is expected to headline for an online streaming service.
She is is now co-managed by Cornerstone Entertainment, Inc. headed by Erickson Raymundo, and her KCAP business manager Nicko Falcis.
