President-elect Benigno “Noynoy†Aquino III’s controversial sister
Kris Aquino-Yap is promising committee chairmanships and other perks to senators who will support Sen. Francis “Kiko†Pangilinan’s bid for the Senate presidency.
This was bared on Monday by sources who declined to be identified. Efforts, however, to get the side of Kris proved futile. Her phone could not be reached while she did not respond to text queries.
Pangilinan, a Liberal Party stalwart, is up against LP colleague Senator-elect and former Senate President Franklin Drilon and Nacionalista Party president Sen. Manuel Villar Jr.
The celebrity actress is said to have firmed up the commitment of three senators – Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada, Senators Manuel “Lito†Lapid, and Ramon “Bong†Revilla Jr.
According to the source, Kris promised Lapid and Revilla that their committee chairmanships will be retained under Pangilinan’s watch.
Lapid is currently handling the Committee on Sports, Games, and Amusement, while Revilla is chairman of the Committees on Public Services and Public Works.
P.S. I told you so... before Noynoy was elected president.
