Kris Aquino denied wearing Imelda Marcos’ necklace, as what some online articles have been accusing her of doing.
These photos of her in a yellow dress and the glittering necklace have been used by online trolls as “proof” that she was wearing one of the former first lady’s necklaces seized by the government.
On October 9, Kris took to Instagram to post her statement about the necklace that she reportedly wore in one of the dinners in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) event last year.
“It seems that you don’t want me to stay quiet and your trolls want to keep perpetuating lies about me. My friend JC Buendia and my sister Viel both showed me this paulit ulit na FB post. The necklaces supposedly belonged to Mrs Marcos & I was brazen enough to wear them for the APEC DINNER. Duh? The necklace I wore was made from cubic zirconia & silver – hindi po DIAMONDS, in other words fake sila although Bottega Veneta naman. ENOUGH! And the TRUTH is on my side – including credit card receipts,” Kris wrote.

Despite her work commitments, Kris decided to wear the necklaces because she paid for them with her “hard earned, tax paid income.”
“Even if my necklaces aren’t appropriate for showing how you can remove more than 100 different types of stains- what the heck, isusuot ko sila, after all I paid for them w/ hard earned, tax paid income, and hindi ko na problema kung yung pagnanakaw ng iba trip nilang ibintang/pagtakpan using me – and to be perfectly clear, I’m not referring to Mrs. Marcos. So this is FAIR WARNING – stop lying about me if you don’t want your rotting skeletons unearthed. #IAMBACK,” Kris added.
Kris also made an Instagram video showing the necklaces in their Bottega Veneta boxes.
In June, we already busted this lie. We pointed out several details between Imelda’s and Kris’ necklaces that proved that they were two different necklaces. We also raised the statement from PCGG, the agency keeping the seized items from the Marcos family, that Kris, despite being a presidential sister, did not have access to the jewelry collection under their safekeeping.
