Kris Aquino seemed to be on a reminiscent spree as she took to Instagram and shared with her fans and followers sentimental throwback pictures of her parents.
Her first post was a black and white photo of herself and her father, the late senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. It showed Ninoy carrying a baby Kris in his arms as they played and candidly laughed together.
The Queen of All Media accompanied the photo with a heartwarming caption: “The 1st man who ever called me beautiful, really believing i could soar, and always reminded me to stay confident in the pursuit of my dreams. #family.”

In a second post, Aquino shared a sepia-toned photo of her toddler self and her mother, former President Corazon Aquino.
She wrote, “The woman who loved me unconditionally, taught me to value my self worth, and reminded me to never forget to say THANK YOU. #family.”

These nostalgic photographs came a few days after Aquino posted a quote addressing her bashers. The quote, which was from Lebanese-Canadian author Najwa Zebian, read: “If you ever get the chance to treat them the way they treated you, no matter how painful it was, I hope that you choose to walk away and do better.”

She accompanied the quote with a note to her bashers. In it, she mentioned that the negativity of some is a small price to pay for her success, and that coming from a resilient family, she was never raised to be a loser and a coward.
“The point — di ako pinalaki para magpatalo, but I do know not all battles are worth fighting,” caps Aquino. “So bashers, negas, and trolls i shall refrain from engaging & put my block button to good use.”
While Aquino has been in hiatus from network television where she made her name, she has seen recent online and commercial success via her own YouTube lifestyle channel. Her channel called “The Aquinos”, established in November 2016, has tallied almost 20 million views. JB
