Speculations were rife that the Dr. MP she was referring to was a general surgeon named Dr. Michael Padlan, who is connected to two of the biggest hospitals in the country.
Padlan’s Instagram account is currently set on private, but a quick look at their followers showed that he and Aquino are following each other on the platform as of writing.
Showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz, who had interviewed Aquino in California a few months back, previously shared on his new vlog that his friend and kumare went home to the Philippines with 11 companions, including her youngest son Bimby and her rumored doctor boyfriend.
Diaz likewise showed a photo posted by one of the actress’ companions inside the plane, wherein Aquino was captured sitting next to a man, who appeared to have a striking resemblance to Padlan. “Ang chika nga ay kasama rin ang doktor na boyfriend nya. Sino kaya doon, ha? Hula-hula lang kayo!” the showbiz insider said.
According to some reports, Padlan is the same age as Aquino, 53, a native of Pangasinan, and also has two kids from his previous relationship. A son of a doctor, Padlan is said to specialize in trauma surgery.
The Queen of All Media first revealed details about her new beau in an interview with Diaz in June, saying that he’s a doctor based in Makati.
“It just flowed. He’s a doctor, and I think that’s part of the reason why it was easy, kasi alam niya kung ano ‘yung pinagdadaanan ko,” she said at the time without disclosing the doctor’s identity.
“He’s part of the reasons why I’m confident na pwede akong umuwi, kasi alam ko na there’s someone who will help in taking care of me. So obviously, by saying that, alam na nila na, he’s a doctor based in the Philippines—in Makati,” added the actress-host.
In a new interview of Bimby with his mom’s former headwriter, Darla Sauler, he answered the questions about how his mom was able to find a new love despite her health battle.
“Everything has its time and place. It’s fate,” he said.
After two years of seeking treatment for her autoimmune diseases in the United States, Aquino flown back to the Philippines to seek encouragement from her family as she faces more health challenges in what she now calls the “fight of [her] life.”
