“Don’t be shy” - Kris Aquino to Davide
CEBU, Philippines - Presidential sister and Queen of all Media Kris Aquino yesterday endorsed the tandem of Hilario “Junjun” Davide and acting governor Agnes Magpale in her visit to Cebu yesterday.
“Number one taxpayer ako kaya talagang malaki ang naaambag ko sa kaban ng bayan. Kaya may karapatan akong pumili kung sino yong pipiliin natin,” said Aquino who was recently named as the country’s number one tax payer by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
Aquino also asked Davide not to be shy.
“I know him well. The problem with him, he’s so shy. It’s your time to shine, this is your moment. Seize the moment, gov,” Aquino said.
Davide, after the presscon, said that he is no longer shy, to the delight of Aquino who also toured the countryside campaigning for Team PNoy senatorial candidates Grace Poe and re-electionist Senator Chiz Escudero.
Aquino said that she wants to go back to Cebu, hoping Davide will win as governor and give him a tour of Bantayan Island.
Aquino said she wants to feature the beauty of the island through her show, Kris TV.
“Kris TV has 11 million viewers. Pasikatin natin ang Bantayan nang bonggang bongga. Gawin natin yan as your Boracay. It is so beautiful kaso lang wala pang mga Shangri La doon and I want that to happen in your term,” Aquino said to Davide.
In 2010, Aquino also campaigned for Davide.
Aquino said that developing Bantayan as a tourist destination would mean additional jobs for the Cebuanos.
During the press conference, Poe and Escudero told the media their platform of government.
Poe talked about feeding the elementary school pupils nationwide with free meals while Escudero promised to provide more funds for Cebu especially the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center.
Davide said he is campaigning hard for Cebu to give Team PNoy a 12-0 in the senatorial slate, although his counterpart for LP in Cebu City, Rep. Tomas Osmeña, said he will not promise a 12-0 for LP because doing so would be presumptuous of him.
