Sen. Bam on online campaigns against Ninoy Aquino
(Transcript of Sen. Bam's ANC interview)

Q: Ito very, final na talaga ito, very briefly. What do you say to this online campaign against your late uncle, si former Senator Benigno Aquino Jr.? Basically nag-away si Kris Aquino and Mocha Uson because of that, pero you see that there is this viral video showing him getting a kiss from a woman, getting compared to what Duterte did in South Korea.

Sen. Bam: Alam mo unang-una napakalayo naman ng mga pangyayaring iyan. These are the last moments of his life, in fact if you look at that clip, there is one shot there pagtayo niya I think he starts to recognize that he might be shot, so this is a clip of somebody who is about to die for the country. Hindi naman yata tama na ikukumpara mo iyan sa mga tinatawag na gimmick at sa isang bagay na kinasukalaman ng napakaraming mga tao. This is a person's last two minutes of his life, how can you compare that to a so-called gimmick na pampatawa lang sa mga tao na of course marami ring umalma.

Now, clearly there's a move to change history and malign legacy of Tito Ninoy and Tita Cory, and hindi siya tama, and it shows a lack of context, a lack of appreciation of our history, a lack of appreciation for the people who have died for our country. So I'm totally with #LabanKris. Ate Kris kung kailangan pa niyang lumaban pa diyan kay Mocha labanan niya yan, i-correct niya iyan, and I think people are starting to realize and recognize ang mag estratehiya at estilo ng mga mastermind ni Asec. Mocha Uson. It may have worked in the past but it's not working anymore.

Q: Thank you Senator Bam Aquino, thank you for joining us.

Sen. Bam: Thank you.
