Boy Abunda on Kris Aquino’s Health: ‘I Continue to Pray and Stay Positive’
MANILA — TV host and media personality Boy Abunda recently opened up about the health condition of his close friend Kris Aquino, who continues to face a difficult battle with multiple autoimmune diseases. Speaking to reporters after hosting the 37th Star Awards for Television last August 24, Abunda shared heartfelt insights into his ongoing support for Kris, highlighting the importance of prayer, optimism, and constant communication during these trying times.
Kris Aquino, often called the “Queen of All Media” in the Philippines, has long been admired for her resilience in the face of health challenges. However, her fight against autoimmune disorders has been an ongoing concern for family, friends, and fans alike. Boy Abunda, who has maintained a close friendship with Kris for many years, remains a steadfast source of emotional support and guidance amid her health struggles.
When asked for an update on Kris Aquino’s current health status, Abunda candidly replied, “Araw-araw [ay] patuloy ang dasal ko [para sa] well-being ni Kris.” (Every day, I continue to pray for Kris’s well-being.) This simple but powerful statement underscores the deep concern and hope he carries for her recovery.
Abunda explained that despite the challenges posed by Kris’s medical condition, they keep in close contact. “We are in touch. Nag-uusap kami. Nadadalaw ko kapag may pagkakataon.” (We talk and I visit her whenever I have the chance.) For Abunda, maintaining this connection is crucial, especially since Kris’s health situation can be unpredictable. “And I continue to pray to God na she be well. Ako’y umaasa, positibo that she will be well.” (I continue to pray to God that she will be well. I am hopeful and positive about her recovery.)
Autoimmune diseases, which involve the immune system mistakenly attacking the body’s own cells, are notoriously difficult to manage. In light of this, Boy Abunda acknowledged the complexities and unpredictability of Kris’s health challenges. “Mahirap ‘yun, eh, na mag-categorize ka. Autoimmune is a very difficult condition,” he shared, pointing to the reality that there is no clear-cut way to predict the course of the disease.
Beyond his concern for Kris Aquino’s health, Boy Abunda also addressed questions about his role in caring for Kris’s son, James “Bimby” Aquino. Kris previously expressed confidence that Abunda would continue to be a supportive figure in Bimby’s life. Abunda clarified his responsibility, saying, “I wanna clarify that. Habilin, kasi, can be mishumor. Kahit anong mangyari, may sakit man or wala si Kris, responsibilidad ko si Bimby, bilang ninong o kaibigan nang matagal na panahon.” (I want to clarify that. This is a charge that can be misunderstood. Whatever happens, whether Kris is sick or not, I have a responsibility for Bimby as his godfather and longtime friend.)
His words reflected not only his dedication to Kris and her family but also the depth of the trust and friendship they have cultivated over the years. This reassurance comforts many fans who look up to Abunda as a pillar of stability amid the uncertainties surrounding Kris’s health.
In addition to discussing her health, Boy Abunda also touched on Kris Aquino’s possible return to the entertainment industry. The two have had conversations about her showbiz comeback, although no concrete plans have been announced yet. “Wala pa pero ‘yun ay dapat pag-usapan. But we keep on talking about it,” he revealed, signaling that the idea is still under consideration.
The potential return of Kris Aquino to television or film has long been a subject of speculation among fans and industry watchers. Known for her charisma, wit, and candid personality, Kris has made significant contributions to Philippine entertainment. Her comeback would undoubtedly be met with excitement and anticipation, especially considering her recent health struggles.
Boy Abunda, often dubbed the “King of Talk,” is no stranger to the spotlight himself. With decades of experience as a TV host and interviewer, he has become one of the most respected figures in Philippine media. His professionalism and genuine care for the people he works with have earned him widespread admiration.
At the 37th Star Awards for Television, which he co-hosted alongside Pops Fernandez, Elijah Canlas, Gela Atayde, and Robi Domingo, Abunda demonstrated his usual poise and grace, even while balancing personal concerns about his close friend.
As Kris Aquino continues to navigate her health challenges, the Filipino public remains hopeful that with the support of friends like Boy Abunda, she will find strength and healing. Abunda’s message of prayer, positivity, and unwavering support resonates deeply, reminding everyone of the power of friendship and faith during difficult times.
