TV host-actress Kris Aquino will return to work on Aug.10, five days after her mother, former Pres. Corazon Aquino was laid to rest at the Manila Memorial Park.
Kris' "Showbiz News Ngayon" (SNN) co-host, Boy Abunda, made the announcement on Aug. 6 on their showbiz-oriented program. He said that according to Aquino, one of Pres. Cory's last wishes for her was to immediately get back to work.
Kris has been on leave from her hosting chores on "SNN" and "The Buzz" since July 19 to care round-the-clock for her mother who was then battling colon cancer.
On "SNN," Kris recalled to Boy that during Pres. Cory's last days, she often asked Kris why she wasn't taping for her shows, or why she wasn't shooting for her new movie. Kris had always been vocal about Pres. Cory being her biggest supporter.
This is also the reason Kris was at first wary to report to work right away. "I'm sad because I know that Mom is no longer around to watch my shows," she told Boy.
Kris added that her husband, cager James Yap has resumed playing for the RP team, which is now competing in the 25th FIBA-Asia men's basketball championship in Tianjin, China. She said that her mom would always tell Yap how important it is to play for the national team.
On the same episode, "SNN" reported that Kris personally requested for Korina Sanchez and Ted Failon to anchor ABS-CBN's coverage of Pres. Cory's funeral. Kris, Korina and Ted hosted the public affairs "Hoy Gising" back in 1992.
Korina said that she was honored to be asked by Kris even if it meant breaking the leave of absence she took from TV news program "Bandila" and radio commentary "Tambalang Failon-Sanchez" on DZMM beginning May 9. She and fiancé, Sen. Mar Roxas, were also supposed to have Pres. Cory as one of their godparents in their upcoming wedding.
Ted expressed his appreciation for Kris who told him in an interview during the funeral coverage last Aug. 5 that Pres. Cory instructed her to visit widower Ted and his children. "Na-touch ako dahil naisip pa n'ya 'yun," he said.
