Kris Aquino can’t stop talking and sharing updates about what she’s going through, especially as her battle with several serious autoimmune diseases continues to intensify.

In an emotional and candid statement recently, Kris shared that she will undergo a series of critical tests and procedures in the coming weeks — tests that could greatly affect her future and quality of life.

“I’m not doing this to show mercy… I just want to let the truth be known.”

Kris said this bluntly, while expressing gratitude to those who continue to follow, pray, and love her. She said she’s ready for any outcome — but she’s still hoping for a miracle.

What’s the next step?

According to her team, there’s a possibility that Kris will undergo immunotherapy and organ-specific treatment, depending on the results of the blood panel and biopsy that will be done on her abroad. The actress admitted that there are some risks to these procedures, but “if that’s what’s needed for my children, I’ll fight,” she added.

Netizens, sad but impressed
In the midst of her ordeal, Kris is unwavering in her honesty and courage. Her name is trending again on social media, where messages of support have poured in:

“Just fight Miss Kris, we’re with you in prayer.”

“No matter what happens, you’re still an inspiration to us all!”

In a time of uncertainty, one thing is clear:
Kris Aquino continues to fight — not just for herself, but for the people she loves. 🙏💛

 

 

Kris Aquino on treatments for autoimmune diseases: ‘I’m not a diva patient’

Kris Aquino revealed that her medical team has grown, given that she is now dealing with nine autoimmune diseases, while reiterating that she is not a “diva patient.”

Sharing photos of herself getting treated at the Makati Medical Center, Aquino opened up about her medical treatments for her autoimmune diseases on her Instagram page on Sunday, April 6. She also admitted that five of them “can cause [her] death.”

Contrary to what you may assume, I am NOT a ‘diva’ patient. I asked vascular surgeon Dr. James which hospital he was most comfortable to do my PICC Line change in and he chose Makati Med,” she said.

“My medical team has grown because my diagnosed autoimmune diseases have now grown to 9. Five of them can cause my death. That has been hard to process. But slowly I am learning to leave everything to God’s will because He knows best,” she further explained.

The actress-host also shared that she regained her appetite and she currently weighs 88 pounds, while recalling the time she received turon, chocolate chip cookies, avocados, carabao milk, beef steak, pistachio sans rival, carbonara, and mangoes from friends.

“Jessica Soho is so caring [and] is a real friend — weekly she sends me mangoes, I eat a minimum of 3 a day. Chef Jessie for me makes the best angus Bistek Tagalog & her pistachio sans rival is superb. AMARE in Royce hotel, Clark has the best carbonara. I am now 88 pounds, that’s a WIN. Because God helps those who help themselves,” she added

On her past romance with Dr. Mike

Aquino also shared that her ex-boyfriend, Dr. Mike Padlan, declined to remain as one of her lead physicians, while reflecting on their past romance.

“I am sad that you declined to remain as [one] of my lead physicians, but I do understand what you meant when you said to ‘LET ME GO’ — mahirap talaga kapag magkaibang mundo ang pinanggalingan at nakasanayan,” she said.

The Queen of All Media previously revealed that she was in a relationship with Padlan in September 2024. However, they parted ways five months later with Aquino claiming that he “didn’t love” her. This led to Padlan’s son speaking up for the physician in March 2025.

Touching on their split, she hinted that Padlan has been upset with her following her explosive revelation.

“In time I still hope your anger will lessen and we shall both have PEACE IN OUR HEARTS. I’m almost there because I appreciate all I have [and] everyone who pray for me [and] make the effort to express their concern and compassion,” she said.
