Kris AquinoKristina Bernadette Cojuangco Aquino (born February 14, 1971) is a television and movie personality in the Philippines. She is the fifth and youngest child of Corazon Aquino, former President of the Philippines and Benigno Aquino, Jr., a popular opposition senator during the administration of Ferdinand Marcos. Aquino started out as a precocious presence in rallies against the Marcos government, becoming even more famous as her mother started to gain political clout. After the 1986 expulsion of President Ferdinand Marcos, the teenaged Kris stepped into the limelight, starting with guest spots on television dramas and comedies, as well as talk shows. Finally, she made her film debut with actor Rene Requiestas in the comedy Pido Dida, a comedy considered by some as "puerile". Aquino afterwards had a commercially steady, though critically panned career and managed to score an acting nomination for The Fatima Buen Story. She also starred in a film based on a true-life murder, The Vizconde Massacre. Its financial success and successive crime films of the same vein in which she starred in gained her the nickname "Massacre Queen" by title-happy showbiz wags. With her movie career slowing, Aquino shifted her sights on a television career as an Oprah-style talk show host. While her first two efforts - a showbiz talk show and a late-afternoon Phil Donahue-type program - withered in the ratings, media conglomerate ABS-CBN pirated her and launched Today with Kris Aquino, one of the most successful talk shows of the 1990s. As of 2004, she also hosts Morning Girls and The Buzz for the same network, as well as Game Ka Na Ba?, a game show similar in format to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Aquino is also known for her troublesome relationships. Over the past decade, she has been linked to two married men. Her latest relationship became a cause celebre in 2003 after it ended in gunplay and Aquino accused her lover, former Paraaque mayor and actor Joey Marquez, on live television, of giving her venereal disease.
