Following tirades against her critics, Kris Aquino said on Monday that it's high time to put her words into action.
"I have had many enlightening conversations since yesterday…nakinig ako dun sa mga pinagkakatiwalaan ko dahil ramdam ko ang pagmamahal at tunay na malasakit nila… in the coming weeks and months the lessons i have learned will be put into very visible action.
"Nasabi ko, 'actions speak so much louder than mere words' .. so no more angry pronouncements - hindi si Taylor ang qu-quote ngayon - tagline na ng Nike: JUST DO IT," said Aquino on Instagram March 22.
Aquino made the statement after she got fed up with nasty and vicious attacks on her sons Joshua and Bimby. "Tama na. Sobra na. Lalaban na,” she warned critics, upon the release of her two-part video last March 21.
"OA sa pagka-malicious ang pag-target sa panganay at bunso ko. Inisip siguro kung mag imbento tungkol sa panganay at tawaging bakla ang bunso, titiklop na ang nanay,” she said.
“Bullying a 13-year-old dahil sa tingin nila na bakla siya, utang na loob naman, this is 2021. We are living in 2021. Bimb is tall, he is good-looking, he is well educated, he is intelligent. First honor siya ‘di ba? He is articulate, respectful, hindi sya palamura and he happens to be very mature.
"It’s simple. It’s how much I love my sons. Alam kasi ng lahat na ako lang ang mayroon sila. I am exhausted from reading comments na ‘ignore them’ or ‘choose your battles.’ Please, I ask you, I know you mean well but please do not decide for me because they are not your sons. Ako ang nanay nila. So I made my choice.
“Lahat naman tayo gusto natin ng mapayapa na buhay. Lahat tayo lalo na ngayon na pandemic, nag-iingat sa kalusugan natin. Pero pinagod niyo na ako. Napagod na ako magpaapak,” Aquino said.
Aquino also quoted lyrics from the song "Mad Woman" by Taylor Swift. "No one likes a mad woman. You made her like that. You’ll poke that bear till her claws come out and you find something to wrap your news around and there’s nothing like a mad woman. I am taking my time, taking my time because you took everything from me. Watching you climb, watching you climb over people like me.”

Also on March 22, Aquino also expressed concern over the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines.
"God bless the Philippines, more than 8,000 cases were announced today, more than 80,000 current active cases," she wrote.
"Mag-ingat po tayong lahat, wag magpabaya sa sarili, alagaan ang mga mahal sa buhay, ingatan ang mga ka-trabaho, mga kapitbahay, mga makakasabay sa byahe, at magmalasakit at ipagdasal ang lahat lalong lalo na ang lahat ng ating frontline workers na isang taon na tayong inililigtas," Kris said.
