COMMENTARY FRO MANILA STANDARD
That UNHCR post BY JOJO A. ROBLES (LOWDOWN -MANILA STANDARD)
Actress Angelina Jolie has nothing to fear. Kris Aquino will not take her position away from her.
But Kris, the presidential sister, was not “offered” the post of ambassadress of goodwill by the United Nations High Commission on Refugees.
She asked for the position and the Manila office of UNHCR, through its head Bernard Kerblat, decided to give her the post of “honorary patron” of the agency instead.
Kris has sought the position for some time, our sources say, but it was only recently that Kerblat’s office endorsed the offer to the Geneva head office of UNHCR.
The informants said the agency has a policy of not turning down anyone who seeks the title if they really want it and if they can prove that they have a genuine desire to do the work of aiding refugees.
Incidentally, Kerblat, a Frenchman, is married to a Filipina, Victoria Abad Kerblat. Abad-Kerblat, according to her blog, is a biologist by training who worked in refugee camps and who dabbles in art; she hails from the province of Batanes.
It was embattled presidential adviser for political affairs Ronald Llamas who on Monday reported that the executive committee of the UNHCR in Geneva had appointed Kris as goodwill ambassador.
Kris confirmed this later on, without mentioning that she was not exactly a goodwill ambassador like Jolie—or that it was she who sought the position

If you think it’s not enough that I deleted the said post, and that I have properly given Mr. Landicho what he wanted, wala na akong magagawa dun, it’s your opinion and you’re entitled to that.
If Mr. Landicho would not accept my apologies, or if his readers do not see the sincerity of my actions upon correcting my mistakes and properly making amends, it’s okay, because I don’t expect Mr. Landicho and the people to accept my apologies if they still have that feeling of disgust to what I did.
If that’s not manning up to what mess I made, then I don’t know what else should I do. Judge me all you want if it makes you happy. I don’t care anymore.

Whoa! Just a minute. I left a “THANK YOU VERY MUCH” note on your Facebook account after you posted your first apology. Did you hear me say anything after you said sorry? Did i talk about it on my blog after you tweeted me and asked for forgiveness?
NO.
So please.
Stop.
I need not announce to the world that i have accepted your apologies because i don’t have to.
Enough.
