The Philippines’ Queen of All Media Kris Aquino took to social media to ask for prayers as she undergoes the first of two scheduled surgical procedures today, September 10.
On Instagram, Kris shared a photo of her implanted port-a-cath, a device used for long-term intravenous access, along with a heartfelt message.
“i needed to use a filter because my closest friends, my doctors and family—all had the same reaction—why do the strangest, mysterious medical mishaps not caused by man or by the machine implanted very near my heart,” she wrote. “Pwede bang makiusap ulit? alam ko ang kulit ko na but at 9 AM tomorrow I will be brought down for the first of 2 surgical procedures.”
Kris then appealed for prayers not just for herself but also for her medical team.
“Please pray for my surgeons and cardio-interventionists, all the residents and fellows, all the nurses and all the staff in the OR, and the Cardio OR. I thank the Holy Spirit and the birthday Girl Mama Mary for keeping my Survival Instinct Sharp,” she added.
Aside from her health update, Kris also opened up about recent personal encounters during her hospital confinement. She revealed that someone from her past, who once broke her heart, unexpectedly visited her about 10 days ago and later apologized through text.
“Since my confinement so much has happened, just to make this post less Feng Shui/Ghost Month like so much has happened since my confinement: for example, someone i loved and broke my heart because he left me when my health issues were getting worse, I don’t know how he knew where to find me, but about 10 days ago he surprised me,” Kris revealed.
Kris went on: “He said he wanted to see how I was and a few days after via text he apologized several times. We know why we aren’t meant for each other because mine is a lifelong battle; autoimmune has no cure, his fulfillment comes from working w/ communities and going all over the 🇵🇭.”
She also spoke about meeting a doctor she described as a nice and brilliant one.
“God has a plan—recently I got to know a doctor who I can describe as brilliant, brave, and very reliable—plus he has good skin and great hair. He brings knowledge and genuine wisdom, plus he shares the same Chinese Astrological sign as my dad & mom,” she added.
Kris said she will continue sharing small parts of her personal life but without naming names: "I shared my personal life but with no names because that’s how it will be.”
In closing, she once again asked for prayers as she continues to fight her health battles for the sake of her two sons, Josh and Bimby.
“Please pray for all those doing their best to keep bimb & kuya josh’s mama strong enough to start her physical therapy. #bawalsumuko #tuloyanglaban,” she remarked.
Last month, Kris revealed she would remain in isolation at her family’s compound in Tarlac for the rest of the year to undergo new treatment for her autoimmune conditions.

Earlier this month, her close friend Dindo Balares also assured fans that rumors about her passing were false, adding that Kris remains in high spirits after doctors confirmed that a blood clot initially requiring surgery had significantly shrunk.
