MANILA, Philippines — Kris Aquino on Wednesday apologized to her late brother former President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III for letting him down.
In a video posted on Instagram Wednesday, captioned with an open letter addressed to Noynoy, Kris expressed regret for failing to vocalize her love “enough times.”
“[I] love you so much. [I’m] so sorry na hindi ko nasabi enough times when you were still here. [I’m] sorry for letting you down- but [I] know nakita mo how much your death has profoundly changed me,” she told Noynoy as he celebrated his 62nd birthday.
(I’m so sorry I have not said it enough times when you were still here. I’m sorry for letting you down — but I know you saw how much your death has profoundly changed me.)
The Queen of All Media likewise said sorry for failing to abide by her brother’s teachings.
“[I] know you wanted to teach me how to practice humility and not to post anything that later on [I] may regret,” she said.
“[S]orry sumablay lang kay Mel, kasi pumatol ako and nag comment (Sorry, I failed because I commented) when [I] should’ve just shut up. After [I] post this [I’ll] message him na all is forgiven & forgotten,” added Kris, referring to her former fiancé Mel Sarmiento.
Kris also assured that she will try her best to be more like her brother.
“Bunso will try her best to be more like you, and yung inako kong mga binilin mong wag pababayaan- ginagawa talaga,” she said.
(The youngest will try her best to be more like you, and the things I took responsibility for, I am doing it.)
Noynoy passed away on June 24 last year.
