MANILA, Philippines — As the so-called “Queen of Talk,” Kris Aquino hinted that a talk show that she will be hosting is on its way — not in a TV network like ABS-CBN but in the online world.

During a Monday press conference for her movie “I Love You, Hater” in ABS-CBN, Kris admitted that she misses working in ABS-CBN, but said that the Kapamilya network has not yet offered her new shows because she knows the network will not risk it given her family’s ties to the Liberal Party.

“I know that their (ABS-CBN’s) franchise is at stake. I’m being so honest, diretsahan na ‘yan so why do they risk it by giving me a show especially na kahit wala naman kaming isyu ni president (Duterte), hindi naman ako type ng supporters niya. So naiintindihan ko kung bakit wala,” the multimedia queen said.

Kris told her fans that if they want to see her, she just needs to log in to social media for a Facebook or Instagram live.

“Pero they can see me every night if they want to, I’m online and I have 53 brands supporting me.”

When asked to divulge more details about her talk show, Kris refused as she is afraid to violate non-disclosure agreements.

“I was forbidden to say more, I’m sorry. Sinabi ko nga eh, normally wala akong kinakatakutan pero ang kontrata at non-disclosure agreement kinakatakutan ko. Ang gusto n’yo namang mangyari, mangyayari pero sa tamang panahon pa raw pwede sabihin kung kailan.”
