Bimby and Josh not only wished their mother a happy birthday, but also gave sincere words of encouragement, expressing their deep love for Kris. A shared video shows Kris tearing up as he reads Bimby’s handwritten letter, in which he writes:

*”Mom, I know you’ve been through a lot, but you’re the strongest person I’ve ever known. We’re always here for you. Happy birthday, we love you so much.”*

DEATH HOAX LAST DECEMBER
Although Kris did not mention it, her latest post seemed to be a response to false news about her.

End of 2024 when a death hoax spread about the former TV host-actress

Kris’s friend and former entertainment editor Dindo Balares strongly denied it.

In Balares’ Facebook post on December 22, 2024, she clarified that the information circulating in some chat groups was fake news.

She began her post, “We had just finished saying hello to Kris Aquino last Sunday when our publicist friend chatted.

“‘Brother, is it true? I hope not,’ he messaged me.

“‘Which one?’ I asked.

“‘Someone is making a fuss that Kris Aquino is no longer here. I hope it’s not true.’

“‘Where is it from?’

“‘Someone just said it in a chat group.’

“‘I was just talking to her an hour ago.’

“‘Thank you, ______!’ (I deliberately left out names so no one would bother her about who was in her chat group, he-he….)”

Dindo was alarmed by these speculations, especially since he and Kris were supposed to have just spoken on that day,

He said, “To Krisy’s followers, be doubly careful with fake news and misinformation. Don’t believe it unless it comes from her family or reliable sources.

“She continues to receive treatment and is getting stronger. In fact, food is our frequent topic now.”

Although Dindo has clarified that Kris is in good condition, some netizens still don’t believe it.

Especially since the actress has not shown any signs of illness on social media.

If you visit Kris’ Instagram, you will see that her last post about her illness was on November 10, 2024.

KRIS’ BATTLE WITH AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES
Kris has been battling her health battle for almost three years due to her autoimmune diseases.

On September 12, 2024, when Kris returned to the Philippines after spending almost two years in California, USA, for treatment. On October 20, on Instagram, Kris gave a health update for her worried fans and friends.

Here she announced that she is cancer-free.

This was after she worried that she might also have colon cancer, the disease that killed her mother, former President Corazon Aquino.

Also in October, Kris shared that she was still concerned about her autoimmune conditions.

She said that three of her six autoimmune conditions are “life-threatening.”

Part of Kris’ post then (published as is): “The 3 autoimmune conditions are Churg Strauss now known as EGPA (a rare form of vasculitis); Systemic Sclerosis or SCLERODERMA; and LUPUS or SLE, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

“Thank you Dr. Nick my cardiologist for saying my heart is in good shape. But i am hypertensive. Usually my diastolic and heart rate are very elevated. Praying it’s not because of pulmonary hypertension.

“Unfortunately I’m allergic to all steroids, all NSAIDS including Paracetamol (I can take 500 mg total over 24 hours but through IV and after 100 mg of diphenhydramine also via injectable)- I react quickly with oral medicine. When you have autoimmune these are the lst 2 lines of defense. KRIS ON LUPUS ARTHRITIS
Kris also mentioned, still based on his October post, that he had difficulty walking because of his suspected Lupus Arthritis.

He said, “I am now suffering from a Lupus Arthritis flare. Deep bone pain.

“It’s hard to walk without assistance. I’ll start my physical rehabilitation therapy in a few days. But I need to do so with a walker.”

In addition, his immune system is also weak, which makes him prone to coughing.

He said, “My immunity is zero. A cough for me can easily be pneumonia and ICU confinement. Strict rule, no direct even indirect sun exposure or my lupus flares will be triggered as well as my Scleroderma.”
