Kris Aquino, May Inamin Tungkol Sa Kanyang Buhay Pag-ibig

Chika ni Charice Comuri

WHERE THERE are still legal factors to be considered, inamin ni Kris Aquino na sa puntong ito ng kanyang buhay ay hindi pa siya malayang umibig muli. But her former partner James Yap is free, although not legally as yet.

Ito ang nilinaw ni Kris as she faced the press para sa kanyang Metro Manila filmfest entry, ang Segunda Mano, which she co-produced with co-star Dingdong Dantes and Star Cinema.

Pero kambyo ni Kris, “Malay n’yo? Baka ‘yung makatabi ko sa eroplano, o kung nadapa ako at ‘yung lalaking pupulot sa akin from the ground ang magiging guy for me?” To us, parang lame excuse na lang ‘yon ni Kris, giving herself the ounce of hope that there’s still a guy out there na puwede siyang pagtiyagaan for all her idiosyncracies (read: kaluka-lukahan).

But if only for her festival entry, nagsilbi itong wake-up call kay Kris to realize how she could have made better decisions in her life. May isa kasing eksena roon with Dingdong to which Kris—who later broke down—was able to identify batay sa kanyang personal na karanasan sa buhay.

To make matters even more emotionally powerful, naikunek ni Kris ang tagpong ‘yon to her own family setup where one important member (the father being James Yap) is missing to make it solid. Du’n daw napagtanto ni Kris na ang nagbabayad ng mga pagkukulang ng mga magulang ay ang mismong anak.

As her way of making it up to Bimby, as well as to Joshua, Kris is willingly paying her dues. Over the filming period daw kasi of Segunda Mano ay apat na araw sa buong linggo niyang naipagkait sa kanyang mga anak ang kanyang panahon. Thus, she’s taking her kids to New York this Christmas time, at babalik siya sa bansa on January 7, 2012 to resume work two days later.

Samantala, Kris won’t settle for anything less than being the second top-grossing film next to Enteng Ng Ina Mo under Star Cinema. For sure, because of her, well, trademark tactlessness ay ano kaya ang nasa isip ng kanyang co-producer na si Dingdong lalo’t ang nobya nitong si Marian Rivera is cast in Panday 2 na isa ring hinuhulaang tatabo nang bonggang-bongga (from the root word “Bong”) sa takilya?
