Kris Aquino asks Paolo Duterte out for coffee

Kris Aquino invited presidential son and former Davao City Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte out to coffee or beer.

In an Instagram post, Aquino tagged Duterte and expressed her interest in getting to know the presidential son as they have never been formally introduced to each other personally.

“May I invite you to have coffee or we can have a San Mig if that is your preference…you have my word hindi ako mag da-drama pag nagkaharap na tayo,” a line from her invite read.

This is a message to @pd375 on IG, @vicemayorpulongduterteofficial on FB… you mentioned me in your post by name & i feel it is only proper to reply. Sorry Paolo (you called me Krissy so i’m taking the liberty of calling you Paolo)- i don’t know how to play PS4.? But in this instance i’m not my mother’s daughter, but instead my father’s- who believed that everything could be worked out through face to face dialogue… So here goes: May i invite you to have coffee (i endorse Nespresso) or we can have a San Mig (i’ve endorsed them too & i’m cool w/ the lemon flavored) if that is your preference… you have my word hindi ako “mag da-drama” pag nagkaharap na tayo… To the best of my knowledge we have never actually met or been personally introduced. It is actually only Kitty your Dad, our president, had introduced me to, way back 8 years ago when i was just campaigning for my brother… i have no agenda other than the desire for you to personally get to know me & vice versa… Too much bad blood has already been manufactured between our families… We have the chance to hear each other out. Para sa mga nagtataka kung bakit ko ‘to ginagawa- because i’d rather have tried & reached out & possibly be rejected than regret not making a move when i saw an opportunity to open communication lines. Kung tanggihan mo ko, Paolo- i shall respect that. Nasa pamilya nyo ang kapangyarihan at ang buong lakas ng gubyerno at kapulisan ng Pilipinas- kaya sino naman nga ba ako? Hihiram ako ng linya kay Julia Roberts from Notting Hill (but of course rewriting it to suit our particular situation): i’m just a girl, unfortunately not standing in front of a boy, but doing it via social media- asking him to give getting to know her personally a chance… I shall await your decision & pray that my effort won’t be snubbed. ??

The invitation was a response to Duterte’s post on Facebook last Tuesday, February 20, calling Aquino “madrama”.

“I have no agenda other than the desire for you to personally get to know me and vice versa…too much bad blood has already been manufactured between our families… we have the chance to hear each other out,” Kris said.

“Para sa mga nagtataka kung bakit ko ‘to ginagawa – because I’d rather have tried and reached out and possibly be rejected than regret not making a move when I saw an opportunity to open communication lines,” her post further reads.

Aquino ended the post by saying that she will respect Duterte’s decision if he decides to decline, however, she also expressed that she hopes that her invitation would not be snubbed.
