“Breaking her silence on the revelations made by the wife of Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile, Jessica Lucilla ‘Gigi’ Reyes yesterday said the statements were ‘half-truths and half-lies as well,'” reports The Philippine Star.
Reyes, who was once the chief of staff of Enrile, said Cristina Ponce Enrile just muddled the facts and seemed to be “laying the blame on the women who supposedly ‘offered themselves’ to her husband.”
Reyes reportedly told GMA News, “Excuse me, I certainly did not offer myself to him. So does it mean the women were to blame and the senator cannot be faulted because he is a man after all, is that it?”
This latest installment of this melodrama was started when Mrs. Enrile told Winnie Monsod on GMA News TV’s Bawal ang Pasaway that she wanted to divorce her husband after learning he was having an affair with Reyes. For his part, Enrile dismissed his wife’s statements as mere “suspicions.”
