Kris Aquino’s love life is always in the public eye, but her relationship with Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste is one of those love stories that has truly stood the test of time, distance, and great challenges. From a sweet friendship, their relationship became an inspiration, especially when Kris needed support the most.

For many years, Mark Leviste has been a close friend of Kris Aquino. Amidst the trials that the Queen of All Media faced, especially her battle with a serious illness, Mark never left her. From being a friend, they gradually fell into a deeper level of relationship.

This is not the first time that Kris has been linked to a politician, but it seems that she has a special connection with Mark. Despite being busy with her duties in Batangas, he is always there for the actress, no matter what.

One of the biggest challenges of their relationship is the long-distance setup. Kris is often abroad for her medical treatment, while Mark has responsibilities as a public servant in the Philippines. However, Mark showed his dedication by going to America to take care of Kris, something that the actress greatly appreciated.

Mark often posts about his visits to Kris, and their strong bond can be seen in the photos. Despite being busy, he showed that he is willing to do anything for the woman he loves.

However, no matter how strong their relationship is, it did not survive the test. News came that Kris and Mark had separated, something that greatly saddened their fans.

In an emotional statement, Kris admitted that she was the one who decided to end their relationship. This was not due to a lack of love, but because she did not want to be a burden to Mark, especially with his condition. Kris also said that his responsibility in Batangas is important to Mark, and she did not want to hinder it.

Mark, on the other hand, has remained silent on the issue, but his social media posts show his appreciation for Kris. He has continued to show his support, indicating that even though they are no longer in a relationship, he will still be there for her.

Many netizens are hoping that the two might have a “second chance”, especially since their love for each other is obvious. Despite their separation, their communication continues and their respect and concern for each other have not disappeared.

To this day, it remains a mystery whether their story is truly over, or if this is just one page in a longer love story. The question now is—if the right time comes, are they willing to give their love another chance?

Batangas Vice Gov. Mark Leviste compiled a video greeting from celebrities, family members and friends of Kris Aquino to celebrate her birthday last Valentine’s Day.

In Mark’s official Facebook account, celebrities such as Gary Valenciano, Martin Nieverra, Sarah Geronimo, Kim Chiu, Darren Espanto, Jed Madella and KZ Tandingan, to name a few, greeted Kris.

Mark also had a special greeting to Kris in the latter part of the video.

“Happy birthday to the woman of my dreams, my life and my universe. Last Christmas, I gave you my heart and you gave me yours too. You and the boys welcome me and the kids to your home. And for me, you are the best gift I could ever ask for.

“Kaya naman, hirap na hirap akong mag-isip kung paano kita susuklian o kung paano ako makakabawi sa inyo. I don’t know exactly what to give you at the happiest and loviest time of the year, your birthday and Valentine’s Day. Love, for you I just want to be right. And I wish that our love will continue to shine bright despite our ups and downs, breakups and breakdowns I’ll always cherish and I will always choose you.”

Mark said that he will join Kris in her health battle until she’s healed.

“On this special day, I also pray that God will bless you with improved health, unconditional happiness and continued prosperity. May the Lord always shine and be a light to those around you. I also thank God for blessing me and my family with such a wonderful woman, partner and friend on your birthday, at the Feast of Saint Valentine. And with all the angels and cupid’s in heaven, I pray that they fill your heart with joy, peace and love.

“Basta love dasal at laban lang tayo. Ika nga ni Padre Pio, pray, hope and don’t worry. Our Merciful Lord will listen to our prayers. Our God is massively bigger than any problem we perceive. Our father is working all things for our good and he loves us beyond measure.

“From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all that you do. You mean the whole world to me, your loved ones, family and friends, as well as your fans and supporters. You’ve touched so many lives in so many ways. And I for one I am truly grateful for your love, care and kindness. Thank you for everything my love.”

Mark also thanked Darla Sauler, Cornerstone and Nice Print Photography for helping him take the videos for Kris.

“I love love love you so much, Kris. Have a good one and many more birthdays and blessings to come,” Mark ended his speech.

At the end of the video, Kris’ sister Ballsy and sons Josh and Bimby greeted her on her special day.
