It's Me, Gracee: Kris Aquino

This is why KRIS AQUINO is an ideal MOM of this generation: She is overflowing with unconditional LOVE

Entertainment Tuesday, April 13, 2021

If you were to ask your friends who their biggest inspiration is, chances are you’re going to get a lot of them saying it’s their mother. Mothers definitely play a huge part in our lives. They’re the ones who brought us into this world and they’re the ones who are going to see us through all the unforgiving calamities that life has to throw at us.

But, we take them for granted at times and we forget to show them how much we appreciate them. This pandemic taught us how to appreciate more our loved ones because time is fleeting. It also made me appreciate my Mom more because aside from the fact that she is my hero, she is also a very cool Mom.

Aside from my Mom, I also know a few cool Moms out there and one of them is no less than Ms. Kris Aquino. All these years I've been a big fan of her simply because she's the most witty, outspoken, transparent person you can ever think of and the bonus part is that she is the coolest Mom to Josh and Bimby.

Kris Aquino grew up in front of everyone's eyes, although she really doesn't need to give her best because everyone's watching, she simply shines on her own. She has been the source of inspiration and strength for Josh and Bimby, she is their shield and source of protection from the harsh world we live in and nobody has the right to turn a blind eye to those people who try to crush the innocent world of her children.

Aside from Josh and Bimby, many people look up to Kris Aquino as a Mother who would go to any lengths just to make Josh and Bimby secured and happy for the rest of their lives.

A lot of netizens shared their comments on how they idolized Kris as a wonderful Mom and they follow her footsteps for being such a cool mother to Josh and Bimby. At this time and age, we all need the support, acceptance and unconditional love of our family and that is what Kris is giving to her sons.

Kris has been very vocal in her past interviews and videos that she's been working really hard so that she can provide for her sons and that they can live comfortably for the rest of their lives, she is a single mom at that but still manages to be the best provider. She wishes nothing but the best for them, so, what more can you ask for a Mom?

In return, Josh and Bimby showcased nothing but love for their Mom, Bimby has been very vocal that he wants his Mom to find her true happiness and they know how Kris Aquino can be so giving that in everything she does, she gives her 100%.

In her latest video, uploaded to her official Facebook page, Kris mentioned how excited she is to celebrate Bimby's 14th birthday. According to Kris, she is blessed to have a very intelligent and brave son like Bimby. Bimby actually takes it from her Mom, he is witty, brave, confident, full of life and never selfish. This is why Bimby's birthday celebration will also be a day of gift-giving for everyone. This pandemic also gave Kris the perfect time to bond more with her family, because time is truly essential nowadays and she wouldn't spend it with anyone else other than her boys.

Truly, no matter what people say about Kris Aquino, nobody can tear her down. She is like a wine who ages gracefully. She also shared that she recently watched the film, "Me Before You", starring Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke, and her favorite movie quote is, "Just Live..". That is her main goal now, to live the best of her life, live well and live happy.

Not everyone is as tough as Kris Aquino, she has been through a lot and through it all, her love for her family will always be her main priority, not love life or anything else.

Kris will always be the 'Queen of all Media', her social media posts will always be one of the most followed, awaited and talked about but nevertheless, Kris will always be the only Queen of Josh and Bimby, the Queen who will never run out of LOVE to give. 💗

Kris Aquino on Rising Above Negative Stains

#AhonPinay’s advocacy Saturday, March 10, 2018

Ariel’s #AhonPinayadvocacy celebrates progressive women this National Women’s Month

Society often places great demands on women, expecting them to live up to standards that are often not asked of men. Our communityis often harsh on those women who fail to live up to expectations –“kababaengtao”, accusers would say, as they are judged, or even ridiculed or bashed in social media, for breaking traditional expectations.

As the countryobserves National Women’s Month on March 2018, Ariel#AhonPinayjoins in to celebrateprogressive women—especially those who have been stained by controversies, let-downs, and difficulties, but have bounced back and have emerged stronger. Regardless of their economic status, occupation, educational attainment, religious belief, and upbringing—Ariel#AhonPinayfocuses on each woman’s uniqueness and ability to rise above every challenge.Ariel #AhonPinaybrings to life the brand’sgoal to celebrate progressive and empoweredwomen, as it seeks to inspire them to rise up and reach their goals.

This year, Ariel marks NationalWomen’s Month with an inspirational video featuring Kris Aquino, a woman who has endured numerous challenges and stains in her life, but has still managed to succeed and rise above it all.

The video is part of Ariel #AhonPinay’s advocacy to uplift women and remind them, using Kris Aquino’s life and words, that “Walangparatang that stains so deeply that the truth cannot wash away.Walangbahona ‘di naglalahosapag-asa ng bawa’tumaga. Kayakahitpaulit-ulit pa tayongmadapa atmamantsahan,tayongmgakababaihan, we will keep rising.” (Because there’s no accusation that stains so deeply, that the truth can’t wash away.

There’s no stench so intense that won’t vanish with the hope of a new day. And even if we fall and get stained over and over again, we, women, we will keep on rising.)

“Kris Aquino exemplifies resilience and inner strength. Since her childhood, the nation has seen her go through different setbacks, yet she has risen above each one. In the process, she has become a source of hope and inspiration for those women who need to be encouraged so that they, too, can rise above their challenges, and know that these stains do not define them. That is precisely what Ariel #AhonPinay wants each fearlessFilipina to know, and we believethat Kris Aquino can strongly drive that message home,” said Louie Morante, Regional Brand Communications, P&G Asia Fabric and Home Care.

Through the years, Ariel has proudly stood behind and advocated for the empowerment of women across the Philippines, working alongside women advocacy groups through the Ariel #AhonPinay program. One groundbreaking Ariel#AhonPinay initiative is a training program, held in partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority(TESDA), to train women in male-dominated fields such as welding, auto mechanics, plumbing, as well as electrical and installation maintenance. Ariel also recently launched the #JuanWash campaign, which for the first time encouraged men all over the country to do their share of laundry duties with the aim of highlighting equality of men and women in doing household chores.

The Ariel #AhonPinay campaign is the Philippine leg of P&G’s #WeSeeEqualglobal campaign, which embodies the company’s commitment to empower women in order to create an equal world for all, including those women who have struggled and have risen.P&G believes that gender equality is a journey, not a destination, and works hard to ensure that it is part of its corporate culture. This focus extends to its female consumers who are at the heart of its brands and products around the world.

“At P&G, we have a sustained focus on women empowerment with our #WeSeeEqual global campaign which strives to create a world that is free from gender bias with equal representation and an equal voice for women and men,” said Mr. Morante.

With the inspiring message fromAriel #AhonPinay, more Filipinas will hopefully realize that there is no setback or failure so huge to stop themfrom soaring high and achieving their dreams. The video’s message is loud and clear:Ariel #AhonPinay salutes women who keep rising against all odds, vanquishing stains with their inner strength, determination, and goodness.

My Little Bossings brings Fun and Love at MMFF 2013

Bimby Aquino Sunday, December 15, 2013

Not every generation produces a child star but this year, we have not just one but two of them who are set to show people that like Christmas, the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) is all about children even in making the tills sing.

“My Little Bossings” is a movie whose time has come. Ever since the project was bared, the public has been counting months, waiting with bated breath how the precocious Ryzza Mae Dizon will jive with the decorous James “Bimby” Aquino Yap, Both charming and intelligent, but one street smart and the other “socially elite,” it’s an intriguing pairing indeed.

As shooting progressed and as the two kids warmed up to each other and established rapport on and off screen, it became clear that “My Little Bossings” is more than mere curious case. It’s a casting dynamo bound to shakeup the MMFF and steal thunder from anything that crosses its path. “Nakakatuwa talaga yung dalawang bata. They complement each other so well. You can see that when you watch the movie. Nagtuturuan, nagtatawanan, sabay napapagod, sabay nagugutom. Masaya lang kami sa set. Para lang kaming laging naglalaro,” said “My Little Bossings” lead star and co-producer, Vic Sotto.

That is another thing going for the film: the sure success of “My Little Bossings” doesn’t rest just on the shoulders of Ryzza Mae and Bimby, but those of giants. One of the MMFF Box-office King’s co-stars is also royalty, none other than Queen of All Media and MMFF Box-office Queen Kris Aquino. It is said that one of Kris’ reasons in accepting the film is that she wanted her son Bimby’s first experience in making movies to be with someone of Vic’s stature and humility.

For years, the MMFF doesn’t seem to be complete without a starrer from either Vic or Kris or both. This time they join hands; matching stellar power with stellar power, showbiz might with showbiz might, midas touch with midas touch. How can “My Little Bossings” not turn to gold?
As most things come in threes, the power of the dream project doesn’t end there. “My Little Bossings” is produced by OctoArts Films, M-Zet Films, APT Entertainment and Kris Aquino Productions all of which have brought out their guns to ensure that it is a heartwarming, quality movie through and through. More than the big names attached to the film, “My Little Bossings” is a family film packed with lessons wrapped in humor, wit and laughter---exactly what we need in times like these.

Vic plays the role Torky Villanueva who works as a bookeeper for the millionaire cash management specialist Baba Atienza (Kris). Because of some conflict in her business, Baba entrusts her son Justin (Bimby) to Torky’s care for fear of her life. In the meantime, Torky’s niece Ice (Aiza) who lives in the same house with him, is involved in an advocacy for street children where street kid Ching (Ryzza ) becomes her special ward. Ice brings Ching home when the orphanage closed down. The fun begins when all these people start living in one roof while they each tackle his respective personal dilemma.

“My Little Bossings” also stars Aiza Seguerra, Jaclyn Jose, Jose Manalo, Paolo Ballesteros, Barbie Forteza, Neil Coleta, and Neil Sese from the direction of Marlon Rivera. Story and screenplay by Bibeth Orteza.

“My Little Bossings” starts showing on Christmas Day as an entry to the 2013 MMFF.
