Although she quashed numerous times rumors she will run for public office, Kris Aquino said she is still open to enter politics—that is, if it is her destiny.
The Queen of All Media admitted that she is not entirely closing her doors to the option, through an Instagram post on Thursday.
Aquino first sent her love to makeup artist RB Chanco, whom she considers part of her family. “[U]ndeniably RB is beautiful but it is the GENEROUS LOVE & GENUINE CARING that has made kuya Josh, Bimb, and me adopt RB as our own,” she said of Chanco.
One netizen named @gigiboosh5639 suddenly brought up the topic of politics, saying s/he was hopeful Kris would enter politics, since it would give her parents “the ultimate dream and fight they wished for our beloved Philippines.”
Aquino saw the comment and thought it deserved an answer. According to her, entering politics and winning an election “is really a part of God’s plan for a person’s best life,” adding that it is a matter of destiny.
Because of her mother’s (the late former President Cory Aquino) “reminder and strongly held principle,” she believes that by entering public service, she has to embrace a life of simplicity.

“For me to reach that—I have some more growing up to do,” she said. “I refuse to disappoint my mom, so if it’s God’s plan it will be part of His timing, not mine.”
In the past, Aquino dismissed several times rumors that she would be running for senator. Her cousin Sen. Bam Aquino thinks she will win if she does aspire for a seat in the Senate. But in one instance, when her generosity was questioned, the television personality threatened to run for mayor of Quezon City. /ra
