Rhodora Pascual Morales, aka Doray Morales, the ‘Trip Ni Kris’ producer and businesswoman breaks her silence about the allegations Kris Aquino has of her and her son Renan.
When PEP.ph asked her why she didn’t file a case against Kris, she said: “Hindi, pinabayaan ko na lang. Ikaw naman, e, nanghingi yung tao sa akin. Sabi ko nga, sana hiningi na lang yung mahigit P20 million, ibinigay ko na lang, di ba? For that very short (travel special), gagawin ko sana every day, every other day. Wala. Nawalan ako ng gana. Alam mo, hindi sukatan ang pera sa tao na maging kaibigan mo. Just be natural and you be honest, yun lang.”

According to Doray she just recently have courage to speak out about the controversies that surrounded the project and the issues between her and Kris. “Nagtago nga ako. Ngayon na lang ako nagsalita, e.”
Since then, they never had a chance to settle things down and end their feud. According to her, there’s no need to do it and she and her family just wanted to be silent about it.
“Hindi, ayoko na. Hindi na kailangan. Ako, I kept quiet. I kept silent and my family,” said Doray.
She also clarified the issues about Kris and her son, who was allegedly hitting up on Kris.
“Hindi naman humahabol yung anak ko sa kanya. Excuse me, napakaguwapo nun at moneyed. Kasi crush niya yung anak ko. Guwapong bata, nakita niya naka-Lamborghini, naka-jet, naka-helicopter.”
Doray pointed out that Kris was a nightmare to her, she also shared that she used to turn off the television whenever she saw Kris on TV. She also added that she’s not afraid of Aquino and the possible threats towards her.
“Hindi na, hindi na. Nightmare siya sa akin! ‘Pag nakita ko nga sa TV, pinapatay ko. Ano naman gagawin niya sa akin, malapit na ako mamatay?”
On the fact that Kris’ fans might bash her on social media, she bravely responded: “E, di i-bash nila. E, wala naman ako pakialam dun, wala namang sisiraing kinabukasan, sira na ako. Nagpo-produce lang ako ng kuryente, tumutulong naman ako sa karamihan. Hindi. Come and get me,” said Doray, when the reporters asked her if she’s not threatened about her safety and security.
It was recalled that in April 9, 2017, GMA Network aired the travel show special titled ‘Trip Ni Kris.’ After the show was aired, Kris had revelations about the former councilor of San Antonio, Nueva Ecija, Renan and her producer, Doray. In April 2017, during the interview of Kris with PEP.ph, she accused Doray and Renan of using her, “super nagamit,” said Kris.
Kris also said that the payment of her talent fee for the TV special was delayed: “Super na-delay.”
Doray owns 16 companies in Nueva Ecija, pharmaceuticals, brokerage, forwarding and logistics companies, consultancy, aviation, land development, and travel industry. While her son Renan is a professional car racer who won in the Ferrari Challenge Cup Asia 2005.
During the 35th anniversary of Filipino Hairdressers Association (FilHair) on February 21, entertainment media had a chance to interview the businesswoman who’s also an avid supporter of the beauty guru, Ricky Reyes. During the interview, she detailed how they started the negotiations for the Kris travel special. According to her, an influential personality approached her to seek help in mounting the show.
“Ang nanghingi ng tulong nun si— na bigyan siya ng trabaho at that time. Nag-request kasi wala siyang (Kris Aquino) ginagawa that time, so pinagbigyan ko. I really liked Kris.”
She also clarified the issues about the delayed payments of Kris for the said show, which made her shocked about the allegations.
“The thing is, nung bandang huli, bakit siya nagsinungaling na hindi ako nagbayad, e, advance yung bayad ko sa kanya?”
It also came to her attention that she paid higher fees compared to what was the usual payment that Kris received.

“And nalaman ko, sobrang malaki yung hiningi niyang bayad sa akin. More than sa iba na ibinayad sa kanya. Sa kanya, mga six-million plus lang naman. Two million lang yung ibinayad sa kanya ng iba. Well, umoo na ako, ano ang magagawa natin? Ako ay may palabra de honor. Kung nasabi ko ‘yan, mamatay ako o mabuhay, gagawin ko. Marami akong ebidensiya na bayad siya,” says Doray, in case Kris will deny everything that she shared.
According to Doray, she paid Php 20 million to GMA Network to be able to air the said travel special.
