AI-AI DELAS ALAS AND BOY ABUNDA SURPRISED BY KRIS AQUINO’S SWELLING; ACTRESS’ CONDITION DRAWS CONCERN
In a recent development that has captured the attention of both fans and colleagues, veteran actress and television host Kris Aquino has been reported to suffer from unexpected swelling due to complications related to her ongoing health battle. Friends Ai-Ai delas Alas and Boy Abunda, both respected figures in the Philippine entertainment industry, expressed their shock and concern o
Kris Aquino, known as the “Queen of All Media,” has been open about her struggle with multiple autoimmune diseases. Over the past few years, she has been living mostly in the United States to seek advanced medical treatment and avoid triggering environments. Despite her positive outlook and frequent updates on social media, her latest condition has alarmed many, including those closest to her.
In a recent interview, Ai-Ai delas Alas shared that she was “heartbroken and surprised” upon learning about the swelling Kris had been experiencing. “I’ve seen how strong Kris is, even in the face of pain,” Ai-Ai said. “But to hear that her body is reacting this way, with swelling and other complications, it’s very painful. I pray for her every day.”
Boy Abunda, a long-time friend and former co-host of Kris on several talk shows, also expressed his concern. In his nightly show, he mentioned, “Kris has always been a fighter. We’ve known her to be transparent, courageous, and even humorous about her condition. But seeing or hearing about any new symptoms, especially something visible like swelling, is worrying.”
The specific cause of the swelling has not been officially confirmed, but medical professionals suggest that it could be linked to her autoimmune conditions, including Churg-Strauss Syndrome (now known as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis) and lupus-like symptoms. Both diseases can lead to inflammation and affect multiple organs, including the skin, joints, and internal systems.
Kris recently shared an emotional update on Instagram, where she thanked her supporters and fans for their prayers and kind messages. She also mentioned that the swelling had affected her energy and self-confidence, but she remains hopeful. “I still believe in miracles,” she wrote, “and in the power of collective prayer.”
As her health journey continues, fans and fellow celebrities have taken to social media to send words of encouragement. The hashtags #PrayForKris and #StayStrongKris have been trending across various platforms, showing the immense love and support she continues to receive from the Filipino public.
While her future in showbiz remains uncertain, one thing is clear: Kris Aquino continues to inspire many with her courage, honesty, and unwavering will to fight. For now, her supporters, including Ai-Ai delas Alas and Boy Abunda, are holding on to hope that the beloved actress will recover and eventually return stronger than ever.
