Netizens on Erap's daughter calling Kris Aquino bully: ‘Look who’s talking’
Netizens' sentiments were mostly negative when Jerika Ejercito, daughter of Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada with former actress Laarni Enriquez, called Kris Aquino a “bully” who “cannot handle the truth herself.”
The partner of actor Bernard Palanca's post was in response to an article on Kris defending her brother, President Benigno Aquino III, from criticisms on the way the government handled the deadly Maguindanao raid that killed 44 PNP Special Action Force troops.

STFU Jerika Ejercito. Remind yourself you're from a thieving clan. At least Kris Aquino is a good taxpayer. Tingin tingin din sa salamin.

Jerika's father serves as mayor of Philippine capital Manila. His presidency was cut short in 2001 when he was thrown out of office after a popular revolt in Edsa, of which Kris' late mother Cory Aquino supported. He was found guilty of the crime of plunder, but was later granted executive clemency by then President Gloria Arroyo. Estrada lost to Kris' brother in the 2010 presidential elections.
While Jerika's comment didn't sit well with netizens, Kris' defensive stance on her brother wasn't popular among social media users either.
The presidential sister has pledged to keep silence amidst growing criticisms aimed at her brother.
