Naglabas ng mensahe si Kris Aquino para kay former Quezon City Mayor and Senatoriable Herbert Bautista kaugnay ng deleted post ng huli na may kaugnayan sa kanya.
Sa kanyang Instagram page kahapon, ipinost ni Kris ang screenshot ng isang artikulo sa broadsheet kung saan ay nakasaad na kinompronta si Bistek ng fiancé niyang si dating DILG Secretary Mel Sarmiento.
Sa nasabing artikulo ay nakasaad din na nag-issue si Sarmiento ng statement at mensahe para kay Bistek.
“Although Mayor Herbert Bautista has already taken down his post which obviously referred to Kris, I just wish that this would serve as a reminder that talking about past flames in public is improper and ungentlemanlike.
“As a former public servant now seeking a seat in the Senate, he should know better than dragging other people to get public attention,” ang bahagi ng statement ni Sarmiento.
Apparently, ang pinagmulan ng statement na ito ay ang naunang tweet ni Bistek na deleted na ngayon.
“@iampinglacson Mr. President Ping, na-inspire din tuloy akong mag-propose. Kaso, sayang…
may napili na siya,” ang tweet ni Bistek with 3 broken hearts emoji at nilagyan ng hashtags na #TOTGA at #KungMaibabalikKoLang.
Bagama't walang binanggit na pangalan, hinuhulaang si Kris ang tinutukoy ni HB na kanyang TOTGA (the one that got away).
Binawi rin naman agad ito ni Bistek at naglabas ng apology tweet para kay Kris.
“I've already taken down a post on Twitter of which my loose remark unjustifiably hurt feelings. It was certainly inappropriate and a mistake. My profuse apologies to Kris,” ang tweet ni Bistek na deleted na rin ngayon.
Sa Instagram post ni Kris kahapon, sinimulan niya ito by giving an update sa relasyon nila ni Mel. Ibinalita niya ring may date na ang kanilang kasal.
“I’ve often been accused na mahilig magpapansin… But I do hope you’ve noticed the changes in me. My last post was on November 8, and today is November 20. My reason is simple- Mel is still adjusting to life w/ me and I’ve learned my lessons the hard way - the less you share, the better. Kung huhusgahan ka, kasalanan mo na 'yan kasi puwede naman mamili kung ano ang para sa inyo lang. At the end of this Manila Bulletin article, it stated that no wedding date has been set. Actually one has, but we’re keeping that for ourselves… Sobrang simpleng event na magugulat talaga kayo. Definitely, walang “Princess Intan” moment.
“Ours isn’t a perfect relationship, but Mel & I really had a great matchmaker na I’m sure is smiling right now in heaven saying- 'Si Mel lang pala ang kinailangan para matuto si bunso kung kailan dapat tumahimik'," simula ni Kris.
Pagkatapos nito ay nagbigay na siya ng mensahe para kay HB. Dito ay ini-reveal niya na nagsabi pala siya kay Bistek nu'ng time na nagkakamabutihan na sila ni Sarmiento.
“To the man Mel confronted, mahaba ang pinagsamahan natin. Sana 'wag mo na lang baguhin pa ang kwento?
“July 21, bilang respeto- sana naman natatandaan mo 'yung isinulat ko sa birthday/goodbye gift letter na personal kong inabot sa 'yo nu'ng May 12, 2021- nasabi ko du'n “We both deserve our versions of ME AFTER YOU” kaya nu'ng alam na ng puso ko that it was Mel, I messaged you to ask if we could talk. Right away, ikaw ang tumawag. Magaan ang usapan BUT I did tell you, BEFORE I told anybody else, that my version of ME AFTER YOU had already begun,” lahat ni Kris.
Ini-reveal din niya na may bago nang girlfriend ngayon si HB.
“It’s common knowledge that you’re now in a new relationship with a beautiful girlfriend… so if you need to talk about your love life, please talk about your present, not your past,” ani Kris.
“After 7 years of trying but not succeeding, siguro naman kilala mo na ang ugali ko. Kaya kong dumedma kung ako ang ginagamit o naaapakan BUT foul when it’s someone I love & value (in this instance my very soon to be husband na hindi ka naman ginulo o inagrabyado) then papalag ako. I totally agree with what he said especially because sa survey na nakita ko, within striking distance ka na sa Magic 12 - so there’s no need to use our past to gain attention.
“Trust in yourself, that your track record is more than enough to get you elected and have enough faith in the wisdom of the Filipino voters,” mensahe pa ni Kris kay Bistek.
In fairness naman to HB, nang makatsikahan namin siya recently over lunch kasama ang ilang entertainment press, naitanong namin sa kanya kung ano ang masasabi niya sa fiancé ni Kris, and he has nothing but praises to the man.
Nakakasama raw niya dati si Sarmiento noong administrasyon ni former President Noynoy Aquino at mabuti raw itong tao.
“Kilala ko siya, he’s a good person,” sabi ni Bistek.
