(8 Jul 1995) English/Nat • • Former President of the Philippines Corazon Aquino has snubbed the baptism of her grandson. • • She refused to attend the ceremony because the child's mother - her daughter Kris - is living with a married actor nearly twice her age. • • The relative calm outside the Santuario de San Antonio Church in Forbes Park, a wealthy enclave in suburban Makati City belied the media circus inside. • • Hordes of reporters, photographers and television crews flocked to see Kris Aquino cradle her month-old son, Joshua Phillip Anthony Joseph, as she tried to keep the harsh camera lights away from him. • • SOUNDBITE: • • He's very healthy. But, you know, the lights are going to bother him. • • SUPER CAPTION:Kris Aquino, daughter of former President Aquino • • An elder sister, Viel, was the only one of Kris' four siblings to attend the service. • • Mrs. Aquino accepts her new grandson, but she refuses to acknowledge the father - Salvador. • • He's trying to get a divorce from his Filipino wife and is much older than Mrs. Aquino's daughter. • • Kris the youngest child, left the family home in November last year already three months pregnant. • • It created a scandal for Mrs. Aquino, a devout Catholic who has stressed the sanctity of marriage and made no secret of her dislike for her daughter's lover. • • Kris Aquino went back home for the first time shortly after she delivered the baby in June to show him to the other members of her family. • • Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork • Twitter: / ap_archive • Facebook: / aparchives • Instagram: / apnews • • • You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
