Kris Aquino in a special The Buzz interview with best friend Boy Abunda explained how she was appointed as a honorary patron of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees and that her being President Aquino’s sister had no bearing in it. “Parang pagka-explain sa atin ng UN, si first-class, si Angelina Jolie because she’s been there for 10 years. So siya yung ambassador talaga, so the rest are patrons. Sabihin ko lang ha, Si P-noy had nothing to do with this, the appointment kasi meron mga nag-iisip na i-nappoint niya yung sarili niyang kapatid. Nanggaling talaga sa United Nations ‘to, meaning sa Switzerland mismo sila ang nagpasya, alam mo ang tagal-tagal ng prosesong pinagdaanan natin for this. Tapos we heard na nothing from them so tayong dalawa [referring to Boy and herself] nanahimik na lang.”

Boy mentioned that Kris had discussed this with him June of 2010 and she added that the UN preferred patrons with no political affiliations. “Yes, na-bring up ko yun. Sinabi ko where my brother is at right now and imposible naman na ‘di ka magpapakita ng political color. Pero ang tinanong lang nila is do you have an intention to run in 2013? Inisip ko naman, imposible na ‘di ko entertain ang thought ng politika sometime in the future. But sa 2013 categorical talaga because this appointment is two years so ‘di lang naman karangalan ko lang, kundi pati sa buong bansa na ayokong maliitin.

“Ang simula dito ay those who are displaced by acts of war and acts of violence and it is still happening sa Mindanao. Sana. Sinabi nila na aayusin nila, na in the next month or so makapunta ako, pipiliin nila yung lugar and sinabi ko without hesitation whatsoever, gusto ko talaga pumunta.”

When asked how she’s gonna handle this, her career and her family duties, Kris said all her spare time will definitely go to her kids, adding that this will be enough proof that she really doesn’t have a love life at the moment. The Queen of All Media also candidly admitted she’s scared of falling in love again. “Yes. ‘Di naman ako talaga sinwerte  doon [love.] Nakailang strikes na ako. ‘Di lang ako ‘yung takot. Kasi alam ko din na takot yung mga kapatid ko lalo na ang ate ko.”

Boy mentioned the men currently being linked to her like actor Diether Ocampo and Makati Mayor Jojo Binay and Kris answered, “Honestly, I have not seen Diet in about a month. We stopped talking, he knows this, I told him ‘di kumportable ang pamilya namin kasi sobrang gwapo ka. Mayor Binay? He’s my friend. That’s about it. Wala talaga.” She laughs though at the thought of finding a new love while working for the UN in the future. “Feeling ko lang dahil sa United Nations may makikilala ako. Honestly don’t you think? Lahat happens for a reason…siguro meron tayong makikilala diyan na makakacontribute sa kapayapaan ng buong mundo at tatamaan ang puso ko.”

As for the rumors she has problems with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Kris revealed she is very open regarding her finances. “Kung alam niyo lang po. ‘Di ko alam bakit nila i-accuse yan kasi kung mag-check sila, BIR makes it a public record. Tungkulin naman natin talaga ‘yan. Let my records speak for itself. Tinuro ng kapatid ko, 30% automatic is in a separate bank account and will go straight to the BIR.”
