“Still Fighting, Still Praying: Kris Aquino’s Emotional Letter Reveals the Harsh Reality of Her Autoimmune Battle”
For months, the public has been wondering about the true condition of Kris Aquino, the “Queen of All Media” whose once vibrant presence has grown quieter amid an ongoing health crisis. And now, for the first time in a long while, Kris herself has broken the silence—not with glamour, but with raw honesty.
In an emotionally charged letter posted online, Kris revealed the painful reality she faces daily. Her message was not just an update; it was a heartfelt confession, a call for continued prayers, and, perhaps most strikingly, a reflection on life when tomorrow is never promised.
“I have to admit, if I told you what’s really going on, some of you might stop praying…” she wrote, a chilling line that immediately captured the gravity of her situation.
Kris, who is now staying at a private beach property owned by a generous and supportive family, explained that she has been there for nearly two months—using the time not just to recover physically, but also to reconnect spiritually. She credits the peaceful surroundings and the kindness of those around her for helping her rebuild her faith in God’s healing mercy.
However, the peace of the location doesn’t erase the harsh medical reality. Kris’s autoimmune conditions are progressing, and the stakes are higher than ever.
A Difficult Decision
As part of her next treatment plan, Kris has chosen to undergo a grueling regimen: 6 to 8 hours of IV infusions daily for the next six days, using one of the strongest immunosuppressive drugs available. This will be paired with two other medications—one oral, one injectable—that will, in her own words, “completely wipe out my immune system.”
Because of this, Kris will be forced into preventive isolation for six months, away from the outside world, visitors, and even the familiar comforts of everyday life. She’ll be moving into their family residence in Tarlac, affectionately called Alto by her and her Cojuangco cousins.
This level of vulnerability is rare for celebrities to share so publicly. But Kris is different. She’s always lived her life in full view of the public—and now, as her battle becomes more intense, she remains committed to transparency.
“Believe me, it’s hard to accept every night as I sleep that there might not be a tomorrow.”
Those words hit hard. It’s a rare glimpse into the mental and emotional toll of battling multiple life-threatening illnesses while being a mother, public figure, and fighter for her own survival.
The Anchor in Her Storm: Bimb
In her letter, Kris dedicated a large part of her message to her son, Bimb, now 18 years old. No longer the little boy the public once knew, Bimb has become a source of unwavering strength and compassion for his mother.
“He’s my heaven-sent gift, my optimistic grown-up who reminds me never to give up,” Kris wrote.
Bimb has sacrificed his own personal milestones and freedom to take care of his mother, attending to her needs, offering emotional support, and serving as her primary companion through this ordeal. It’s a heartbreaking yet inspiring image: a young man quietly carrying the weight of his mother’s fragile health on his shoulders.
Kris also mentioned her older son, affectionately known as Kuya, who has been deeply affected by seeing her physical condition decline. Since the deaths of their beloved relatives—Lola Cory, Lola P, and Tito Noy—the family has endured so much loss, and it’s clear that the trauma continues to echo.
“He gets visibly shaken seeing me weak and hooked to IVs. He keeps saying: ‘Mama, get well soon. I love you.’”
For any parent, hearing those words from their child during such a time must be both heartwarming and devastating.
A Message of Faith and Gratitude
Despite the grim details, Kris’s letter ends not in despair but in hope. She asks her supporters to continue praying, stating clearly:
“PLEASE KEEP PRAYING — I truly, desperately need it.”
She expressed deep gratitude for the care she has received from both Makati Medical Center and St. Luke’s, naming her doctors, nurses, personal caregivers, and the skilled technicians operating her life-sustaining treatments.
Her words paint the picture of someone who is not giving up, no matter how heavy the burden.
“To all those who still believe I will get better—thank you. #tuloyanglaban (the fight continues)”
What’s Next?
Kris ended her letter with a subtle but powerful teaser: she and Bimb are now ready to show the world everything for the first time—a hint that a full reveal or perhaps a video statement may be on its way.
Whether this upcoming revelation is a documentary-style chronicle, a farewell message, or a hopeful declaration of recovery remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Kris Aquino remains a woman of strength, vulnerability, and unshakable love for her sons.
In a time when celebrity news is often dominated by superficial drama, Kris’s story is a sobering reminder of the fragility of life—and the power of faith, family, and truth.
Her fight is far from over. But in every word she shares, you feel the courage it takes to keep going.
And she’s still going.
