They have since become friends with Bautista guesting in Aquino’s morning show “Kris TV” and teaming up for a movie directed by Antoinette Jadaone.

Meanwhile, when asked if she will support the presidential bid of Interior Secretary Mar Roxas, the “Queen of All Media” said that President Benigno Aquino III will not impose on his sisters to back Roxas.

She further said that Senator Grace Poe is a friend and that that if she will support candidates other than Roxas, she will just keep mum.
