Kris Aquino is back in the country.
This was made known by her official fan account on X.
Prior, on Instagram, the former actress-TV host shared an illustration of a plane as flanked by the American and Philippine flags.
In the caption, Kris shared how she choose to be 100% honest, relating how she arrived in the United States with three diagnosed autoimmune conditions bu that it was soon followed by three more, including systemic sclerosis, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Kris went on to explain why she decided to come home despite numerous ailments.
“The reason I decided to go home is because I need to start my second immunosuppressant infusions in 2-3 weeks (it’s a gentler term for chemotherapy). Emotionally I need the encouragement and unwavering faith my sisters & cousins, closest friends, and trusted team of doctors can provide…”
She added, “Sadly what was the BATTLE TO IMPROVE MY HEALTH is now THE STRUGGLE TO PROTECT MY VITAL ORGANS. This is now the FIGHT OF MY LIFE.”
She expressed gratitude to doctors, nurses, and friends including fashion designer Michael Leyva, congresswoman Len Alonte, Anne Binay — with whom she said her son Josh will stay with for a few more weeks — and her youngest Bimby, whom she described as her “source of strength and God’s biggest blessing.”
She ended her message with, “Bawal sumuko. Tuloy po ang laban.”
