Queen of Talk Kris Aquino made good with her promise to return to Tarlac to help indigent school children when she distributed school supplies and slippers Thursday, June 10 at the Aquino Center in Hacienda Luisita.
Kris gave away 2,000 packs of school supplies to 500 kids from three districts of Tarlac.
Aquino said in an interview aired on "Showbiz News Ngayon" June 11 that it was a promise she made to Tarlaqueno when she was still campaigning for her brother, President Noynoy Aquino.
"Nag-speech ako dito noong nangangampanya. Sinabi ko, 'Ang Tarlac ang unang lugar na nagbigay ng tiwala hindi lamang kay Noynoy kundi pati sa daddy ko dahil dito nagsimula ang political career ng mga Aquino,'" Kris said.
Kris is hopeful that she could reach out to more children in the future.
"This year, we are targeting 15,000 children na matutulungan. Hopefully, next year, maging 30,000 na 'yan," she said.
Half of the packs came from Mongol. Kris was given a special (discounted) price by Sterling for the rest.
Reizel Jamito, one of the beneficiaries of Kris' school supplies was thankful to the TV host.
"Maraming-maraming salamat po kay Tita Kris na binigyan po niya kami ng school supplies," she said.
Kris shared on "SNN" that generous souls also donated 2,000 pairs of slippers for the kids' parents.
"Meron ding mga mababait na Tarlaqueno na kusang nagbigay sa akin ng 2,000 pairs of slippers para naman daw 'yung mga magulang ng mga bata meron ding mauwi," Kris shared.
Kris' next stop is Cebu on June 22.
