Kris Aquino: Danding innocent in Ninoy slay

Twenty years after her father died, Kris Aquino believes that her uncle Eduardo "Danding" Cojuangco was not in any way involved in the assassination of Sen. Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino.

"I don't believe he is capable of that [killing Ninoy]," Aquino said about his uncle, a business tycoon and ambassador during the Marcos presidency.

"Blood is thicker than politics," said Aquino at the press conference of movie Mano Po 2 on Monday.

The TV host said Cojuangco, long considered by many as a Marcos crony, was even helpful to her family when the senator was exiled in the United States, Kris said.

She recalled that Cojuangco helped in paying for the mortgage of their Boston house.

Aquino added that she is no longer interested in knowing the mastermind behind his dad's death.

"What for, patay na lahat sila!" said Aquino.

If the former senator were alive today, Aquino said she believes he would be proud of her achievements.

She, however, said he would also tell her to patch things up with her brother, Tarlac Rep. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III.

"[Maybe he'd tell me "Huwag mo nang dagdagan ang sakit ng ulo ng nanay mo at mag-ayos na kayo ni Noynoy," the youngest of the Aquino children said.
