Cory Aquino labelled as slut in US-based entertainment show (7 p.m.)
MANILA -- The photo of former President Cory Aquino appeared in The Daily show by Jon Stuart, a US-based entertainment show, and was branded "slut."
This called the attention of the ex-President's family and officials in the government.
Kris Aquino, Cory's daughter and television host, said Friday over ABS-CBN TV Patrol that the Americans are not in the position to say those things as they are not the ones who elected her mother as president.
Senator Mirriam Defensor Santiago also expressed dismay as she calls for the labelling of Filipinos to stop. Just recently, a character in "Desperate Housewives" questions Filipino doctor's capacity.
Meanwhile, Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III called for a public apology, saying pictures of her mother Cory are in bad taste.(Sunnex) |
