In the controversial Facebook post, Uson warned Robredo that they will be watching over her. <br /><br />Uson also threatened the incoming vice president that Duterte Die Hard supporters (DDS) will be forced to remove her from the office if she will not support President-elect Rodrigo Duterte.<br /><br /><center><iframe allowtransparency="“true" frameborder="0" height="726" scrolling="no" src="https://web.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.facebook.com%2FMochablogger%2Fposts%2F10154268519826522&width=500" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="500"></iframe></center><br />Because Uson was widely criticized for her statement about Robredo, the celebrity supporter of the Duterte-Cayetano tandem clarified some issues concerning her post.<br /><br />“Never ko sinabing nandaya si VP Leni. (I didn’t say that VP Leni cheated.) As a matter of fact I even said I respect the results of this election,” Uson wrote.<br /><br />Uson, who claims she doesn’t support Robredo nor her closest rival Sen. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, repeatedly said her loyalty is with losing vice presidential aspirant Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano. She also denied mentioning plan B in her statement.<br /><br />“I am not a supporter of BBM nor Leni because I still believe that Cayetano is the best VP for Pres. Duterte.”<br /><br />Although Uson respects the results of the elections, she said DDS will be watching over Robredo, who is a member of the Liberal Party.<br /><br />“Her loyalty should no longer be with Aquino, Roxas or to her Party. Her loyalty should be to our President Duterte and since you are the VP of our country, dapat ang katapatan mo ay sa bayan din (your loyalty should be to our nation).<br /><br />Towards the end of her post, Uson said that they will support Robredo if she will support Duterte.<br /><br /><center><iframe allowtransparency="“true" frameborder="0" height="689" scrolling="no" src="https://web.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.facebook.com%2FMochablogger%2Fposts%2F10154271510111522&width=500" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="500"></iframe></center><br /><b>--Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>

Kris and her family were accused of using government resources in campaigning for administration bets former DILG Chief Mar Roxas and Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo.<br /><br />On Saturday, April 23, the 41-year-old celebrity shared data from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) which revealed the amount of her tax payments and her ranking as top taxpayer since 2008. Kris captioned the controversial post with the hashtags ‘truth’ and ‘honest taxpayer’.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Jdn2oXKm_gAFld29NK0Y2kM4H8URFNfxQHiycSIZ1P6CSoaRx3kcVEtm2sxQHhHsLbuClgdwscwxdKV7sjmlynC6p8jo2EmJD1mtGF4IzfGSYM5lMzkE_rCE_VuCXmmjuXVVQajtJdKT/s1600/kris-aquino-instagram.JPG" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Kris Aquino Instagram posts" border="0" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Jdn2oXKm_gAFld29NK0Y2kM4H8URFNfxQHiycSIZ1P6CSoaRx3kcVEtm2sxQHhHsLbuClgdwscwxdKV7sjmlynC6p8jo2EmJD1mtGF4IzfGSYM5lMzkE_rCE_VuCXmmjuXVVQajtJdKT/s640/kris-aquino-instagram.JPG" title="Kris Aquino Instagram posts" width="600" /></a></div><br />In a separate post, the presidential sister shared a photo of her and sons Joshua and Bimby with brother President Benigno Aquino III with the caption “Because we are #FAMILY.”<br /><br />The former Kapamilya actress’s post appears to have angered netizens who pointed out that Kris didn’t need to brag about the amount of money she pays for tax. According to them, Kris has a higher wage so it would only be logical that she pays higher tax. <br /><br />“My tax is as important as yours. Your tax is important as hers. Tax is not a payment, it's a contribution. In essence, no tax is small or big,” netizen karlothegreat commented on her Instagram post. <br /><br />Earlier, President Aquino defended his younger sister from critics and stressed that Kris is among the country’s top taxpayers.<br /><br />“Whether it is an individual taxpayer or someone who is very close to me who shared all of the burdens, I think it is just proper to share the successes. Share kami sa hirap, share kami sa successes,” Aquino said in a statement.<br /><br />While Communications Secretary Sonny Coloma earlier claimed that Kris has the privilege to ride official government vehicles with President Aquino, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) announced that it will investigate her use of government property in campaigning.<br /><br /><b>--Mini, The Summit Express</b></div>
