Nicko Falcis’ mom to Kris Aquino: ‘You started with lies,
we’ll end it with truths’
Nicko Falcis’ mother, Dr.
Carol Falcis has entered the fray
in defending her son against Kris
Aquino’s allegations.
Nicko Falcis, Aquino’s former
financial adviser and project
manager, is accused of qualified
theft for stealing funds from
Kristina C. Aquino Productions
(KCAP), Aquino’s production
company. Nicko has denied her
claims.
In Instagram posts today,
Feb. 6, Nicko revealed that his
mother was breaking her silence
to support him. His siblings,
Jesus Falcis and Charlene Falcis,
have already spoken up about the
issue on social media.
Carol said, “For the past 4
months, I have kept my silence
because I trusted my kids to be
capable enough of defending
themselves.”
She said that she was initially
“worried and saddened” by
Aquino’s “lies” which were being
believed, but has since seen “love
and support” from the public for
her son over the past few weeks.
Trial
By
Publicity
Carol claimed that Aquino and
her lawyers had told her family to
stop posting on social media, but
countered that Aquino initiated
the trial by publicity towards her
son starting on September 2018.

“How can your lawyers forget
the fact that you tried to destroy
Nicko’s reputation publicly by
posting in your IG, FB, Twitter,
and Youtube last Sept. 22, 2018
regarding an alleged ‘betrayal of
trust’ by your financial adviser!
You implied someone stole your
‘life savings’ for your sons,” she
said.
“Then you used your PAID
MINIONS to slowly identify my
son,” she said, singling out talent
manager and columnist Lolit Solis
for naming Nicko in a radio show
and on Instagram in October.
Solis has denied being paid
by Aquino for publicity, but has
admitted to receiving cash and
gift certificates from her.
While Aquino made her
attacks against Nicko, Carol said
the family had stayed silent as
per a “command” from Aquino’s
lawyer Atty. Sigrid Fortun.
She maintained that her son
is innocent and reiterated her
children’s claims that the family
had been “bullied” by Aquino.
“Behind the scenes, you tried
to bully my family into signing
one-sided contracts, using as
leverage the fact that you can
destroy Nicko’s reputation even
without naming him and more so
if you name him!”
Carol said she was initially
a fan of Aquino and had never
met her. She denied stating that
she was a “deeply embarrassed
mother,” as Aquino had claimed
in a video interview with Anna
Pingol.
She hopes Aquino’s health
would improve but noted, “NO
SICKNESS CAN ever JUSTIFY
concocting lies, bullying, and
making death threats!”
“As a mother, I hope she
recovers from her autoimmune
disease so that she can enjoy life
with her sons just as I want to live
the rest of my senior life with my
kids in peace. I pray she comes to
her senses,” she said.
She warned Aquino, “You
started with lies, we will end it with
truths.” ●
