Kris Aquino blasts rumor alleging that she stole Imelda Marcos’ jewelry

She’s baaaaaaack!

Kris Aquino returns to social media after two weeks of online silence — but not to finally answer where and when she’s make her much-awaited television comeback.

In an Instagram post on Sun, Oct 8, the so-called Queen of Media answered a long-circulating meme claiming she wore former First Lady Imelda Marcos’ diamond-studded necklace during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders’ Summit last Nov 2015.

The meme, which has been online since late year, claimed Kris had access to the Imelda’s sequestered jewelry when her brother Benigno Aquino III was president. 

A number of Imelda’s jewelry collections have been seized by the Philippine government and are stored at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). 

“It seems you don’t want me to stay quiet and your trolls want to keep perpetuating lies about me,” Kris wrote, explaining how her friend JC Buendia and sister Viel told her about the online rumor.

“Duh? The necklace I wore was made from cubic zirconia & silver — hindi po DIAMONDS, in other words fake sila although Bottega Veneta naman,” she explained.

In other words: the neklace she wore was not diamond-studded as rumored, and hence not formerly Imelda’s.

Kris added the truth is on her side — and she has the credit card receipts to prove it. 

She ends her missive with a message addressed to an unnamed individual. “Stop lying about me if you don’t want your rotting skeletons unearthed.”

Who could this be? Juicy. 

 

It seems you don’t want me to stay quiet and your trolls want to keep perpetuating lies about me. My friend JC Buendia & my sister Viel both showed me this paulit ulit na FB post. The necklaces supposedly belonged to Mrs Marcos & I was brazen enough to wear them for the APEC DINNER. Duh? The necklace I wore was made from cubic zirconia & silver- hindi po DIAMONDS, in other words fake sila although Bottega Veneta naman.ENOUGH! And the TRUTH is on my side- including credit card receipts. P.S. I have a long standing event for #ARIEL on Tuesday, even if my necklaces aren’t appropriate for showing how you can remove more than 100 different types of stains- what the heck, isusuot ko na sila, after all I paid for them w/ hard earned, tax paid income, and hindi ko na problema kung yung pagnanakaw ng iba trip nilang ibintang/pagtakpan using me- and to be perfectly clear, I’m not referring to Mrs. Marcos. So this is FAIR WARNING- stop lying about me if you don’t want your rotting skeletons unearthed. #IAMBACK

The Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) actually issued a statement denying rumors that Kris wore Imelda’s jewelry last year. 

In December 2015 interview with The Philippine Star, PCGG commissioner Andrew de Castro said the jewelry was stored at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas vault. Four keys, he added, were needed to access the vault, where Imelda’s jewelry collections was stored.
