In a heartbreaking revelation that shook her millions of followers, Kris Aquino opened up about the terrifying truth behind her long silence on social media. Known for her unwavering connection with fans, it was a sudden absence that left people wondering if everything was okay. Now, Kris reveals the devastating reality of her health struggles – and why she’s asking everyone to keep her in their prayers.
“On purpose matagal akong hindi nag upload. I have to admit, if I told you what was happening, some of you may stop praying,” Kris shared on her Instagram. The candid post came as a direct response to the growing concern from her fans. She didn’t sugarcoat the gravity of her condition, acknowledging how it may cause even the most devoted followers to lose hope. The Filipino Queen of All Media has always been known for her honesty, but this truth was one of her hardest to face.
Kris, in her emotional post, disclosed that her autoimmune diseases have been progressively worsening, and she now faces life-threatening ailments that could claim her life at any moment. She described the overwhelming fear that haunts her every night as she closes her eyes, fearing that there may be no tomorrow. “Trust me, it’s difficult to accept every night when I sleep that there may be no tomorrow for me,” she admitted, the vulnerability of her words cutting deep.
A Brave Decision Amidst Health Struggles
The fight of her life has led Kris to make a brave decision – one that’s not only about her health but also about her faith. She has retreated to a private beach property, gifted to her by a generous family who believes in healing and prayer. It is here that Kris hopes to find the strength to heal, both physically and spiritually.
She revealed that, despite the pain and fear, she had to continue treatment. In six days, she’s scheduled for another 6-8 hour infusion session, which will be one of the strongest autoimmune immunosuppressants she has ever received. This, along with the other treatments she’s undergoing – one taken daily, and another administered through injection – will completely wipe out her immunity. It’s a difficult decision, but it’s one she must make to survive.
Kris has also been placed under preventive isolation for the next six months to protect herself from further health complications. This is not an easy path. The emotional toll of her condition is evident in her words, but her resolve to fight is just as strong. “I will be in preventive isolation for 6 months,” she wrote. “I’ll live in our compound in Tarlac; my Cojuangco cousins and I fondly call it Alto.”
A Mother’s Love and A Son’s Dedication
The reality of Kris’s health crisis isn’t just affecting her; it’s taking a toll on her family, especially her children. Her son, Bimb, now 18, has had to sacrifice much to care for his mother during this time. Kris shared how Bimb has become her rock, constantly reminding her to “never surrender.” Her son’s unwavering optimism and love have been a light in her darkest moments.
Despite his own challenges, Bimb has shown resilience, proving to be the optimistic adult his mother needs. He has been a true source of strength, encouraging his mother through each difficult step. “He is heaven’s gift,” Kris wrote. “Bimb and I are ready to reveal all and show you everything for the first time.” In a future post, Kris promises to share more of their journey as they continue to face these challenges together.
But amidst all the chaos, Kris’s eldest son, Kuya, has also been deeply affected. Kris shared the emotional moment when she saw her son, shaken and traumatized, expressing his fears. “Seeing me frail, weak, and often attached to my IV drip, Kuya is traumatized, visibly shaking, repeating ‘mama, get well, I love you…’” Her heart-wrenching admission shows just how deeply her family feels her pain.
For now, Kuya is living with Kris’s cousin, who has been an incredible support throughout this ordeal. Kris’s family has rallied around her, offering their love and support as she continues her battle.
Gratitude for Her Medical Team and Supporters
Despite everything, Kris remains grateful for the doctors, nurses, and technicians who continue to support her every step of the way. She expressed her deep gratitude for Makati Med and St. Luke’s BGC, acknowledging the skill and dedication of her medical team. “Thank you to both Makati Med and St. Luke’s BGC, my doctors, their fellows & residents, the nurses assigned to me in the hospitals, my personal nurses, the many skilled technicians operating the high tech machinery, and all who continue to believe gagaling pa rin ako,” Kris wrote.
Her words reflect not only a deep sense of gratitude but also a strong resolve to keep fighting. She is far from giving up. Despite the difficulties she faces, she still believes in the power of prayer, and she’s asking her followers to continue to pray for her. “Please continue praying kailangan na kailangan ko,” she pleaded.
