When asked last Sunday in the THE BUZZ about who’s better looking between the two members of the F4, Kris Aquino answered that Joey Marquez looks better than anybody. She delivered this with a smile and a twinkle in her eyes…clearly a sign of a romantic love, if not sexual. I laughed at her and called her blind. Since in my opinion, those members of the F4 were much, much better looking than Joey Marquez.
And then… I saw Kris Aquino being interviewed yesterday in TV Patrol.
I do not know what really happened between the two of them in that room. No body knows since they were the only ones inside and who can say what really took place. We could only speculate, and hear their sides of the story, their realness and their fabrications. But for whatever it is worth, I pity her.
Imagine Kris Aquino, not being “Kris Aquino” and Joey Marquez, not being “Joey Marquez”. Without fame and fortune. Imagine her being a simple woman, whom you can brush elbows with in the streets. The same goes with him. And then suddenly you hear the same predicament. Would you still like/love him? I won’t. With what happened to them, the boundary goes beyond show business, it goes straight to the gate of human rights, particularly Women's Human Rights.
As a person, it is normal to be in love, to get jealous, to be angry, and to feel pain. But as far as I know, it is not normal to degrade a person up to the point that he/she will lose his/her self-respect. And beyond doubt it is not normal to point a gun, a loaded gun, to anybody just because you are angry, for next time (and I quote) “It would be easier for him (her) to pull the trigger...”
