Kris Aquino’s Heartbreaking Final Wish: “I Want a Yellow Coffin” – A Tearful Goodbye Prepared

In a deeply emotional and heart-wrenching development, television icon Kris Aquino has reportedly made final arrangements for her passing — including one particular request that has stunned and moved many: she wants to be laid to rest in a yellow coffin.

Known as the “Queen of All Media” and a symbol of strength, glamour, and resilience in Philippine showbiz, Kris is now facing what she herself has described as the “most painful chapter” of her life. As her ongoing health battle intensifies, she has begun to speak more openly and courageously about mortality, legacy, and letting go — leaving her fans in tears and disbelief.

A Final Request That Reflects Her Identity

According to close sources, Kris Aquino — daughter of former President Corazon “Cory” Aquino and Senator Ninoy Aquino — has asked her family to honor her with a yellow coffin, a deeply symbolic choice. Yellow, long associated with the Aquino family’s political history and legacy, has also become a color of hope, democracy, and courage in the eyes of many Filipinos.

“She wants her final goodbye to reflect who she was and where she came from,” said a family insider. “Yellow is more than just a color for Kris. It’s a tribute to her mother, her father, and the ideals they stood for.”

The request, though heartbreaking, didn’t come from a place of fear. Those close to Kris describe it as an act of peace — a way of preparing herself and her loved ones for the inevitable.

Kris Speaks Out: “If My Time Comes, I’m Ready”

In her latest social media update, Kris, now visibly weaker but still strong in spirit, addressed her fans with a trembling voice:

“I’m not giving up, but I also want to be ready. I’ve talked to my sons and my sisters. I told them, if God decides my time is near… please don’t dress me in black. Don’t cry too long. Just wrap me in yellow — because I want to go home with peace and love in my heart.”

The video quickly went viral, prompting an outpouring of support and sorrow across social media. Hashtags like #KrisYellowCoffin, #PrayForKris, and #QueenWithCourage trended online as netizens poured their emotions into comment sections, many admitting they couldn’t hold back tears.

“Yellow symbolizes hope. Kris IS hope. We’re crying with you, but we’re praying harder,” one fan wrote. Another shared: “You’ve been so brave. You don’t deserve this pain. But your light will never fade, Kris.”

Preparing Her Sons and Family

Kris has reportedly spoken at length with her sons, Josh and Bimby, about her health and wishes — a conversation no mother ever wants to have. Friends of the family said Kris wanted to ensure her sons are emotionally prepared, while also making sure they feel protected even after she’s gone.

“She’s doing everything with love,” a family source said. “She wants her sons to remember her as someone who never gave up and who planned everything so they would not feel lost.”

Her sisters, including Ballsy and Pinky Aquino, are said to be by her side during this most difficult time. They have reportedly begun to help with her arrangements quietly and respectfully, honoring her wishes as Kris continues to fight for her life.

Public and Celebrity Reactions

News of Kris’s funeral preparations has caused an emotional wave in both the entertainment industry and among ordinary Filipinos. Celebrities, politicians, and fans alike have spoken out, praising her bravery and selflessness in the face of pain.

Vice Ganda tweeted, “Kris, your courage inspires us all. Yellow is your color, and you are our light.”
Actress Angel Locsin posted, “You’re preparing with such grace. We still believe in miracles, and we are holding on with you.”

Still Fighting, Still Grateful

Despite her decision to plan ahead, Kris emphasized that she is not giving up. Her medical team continues to provide round-the-clock care, and her spiritual team has been praying with her daily.

“I’m still hoping for healing. I’m still holding on to miracles. But I want everything ready, just in case,” Kris said. “It’s not about giving up — it’s about letting my family know they’ll be okay. That I’m at peace.”

She ended her statement with the same grace that has defined her decades-long career:

“To everyone who’s loved me, supported me, and prayed for me — thank you. Whether in yellow or white, I will carry your love with me.”

A Nation Prays with Her

Kris Aquino has lived a life in the public eye — a life of trials, triumphs, and transformation. And now, even in the face of possible death, she is showing the nation what grace, dignity, and quiet strength look like.

As Filipinos light candles and whisper prayers, the woman in yellow continues to be a symbol not only of political legacy — but of unmatched human courage.
