After sharing her family’s latest plans last month, Kris Aquino’s youngest son Bimby Yap flew back to the Philippines to focus on his studies after being homeschooled during their stay in the US. 

Kris and her sons first flew to the Houston, Texas last year for her to receive treatment for a rare, life-threatening disease called Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA).

In her Instagram post last June 9, Kris revealed that Bimby, her son with ex-husband and basketball player James Yap, would be studying in a school offering the International Baccalaureate Program. The post was accompanied by photos of Kris sharing a goodbye hug with Bimby at the Los Angeles airport.

She wrote, “Tuesdays are my immunosuppressant/chemotherapy day. He left to fly home on Wednesday—I only have until the end of June until I need to lessen my activities in high density places because by then my immunity will be too weak to fight any infection.

“Bimb & I discussed it, nakikita ko yung stress & anxiety my bunso was feeling. He’s had to grow up so fast because he needed to learn to be responsible in helping taking care of me; kawawa kasi nakikita niya the many new physical physical manifestations because from 3 when we came to the 🇺🇸 a year ago, naging 5 na yung diagnosed autoimmune conditions ko. As his mama I felt for a few months he deserves to enjoy being 16.

“I knew after a year Bimb was longing to be with his various titas (my sisters, cousins, and friends); titos (my brothers-in-law, cousins-in-law and the husbands of my friends); his many cousins & the kids of my friends. I love you 🍯, it was heartwarming to see you & kuya together. Thank you @michaelleyva_ for being part of our family.

“I love you w/ my whole heart, Kuya & Bimb. Mama promised she’ll go through all treatments so I’ll be around, God willing, while you both still need me. 💛💛💛”

In an earlier post, Kris celebrated her eldest son Josh’s birthday. Even though she was away from her son, Kris went shopping for new clothes for him at a nearby mall. Josh turned 28 years old last June 4.

Kris wrote, “Happy Birthday to our super guapo Kuya, I love you so much & yes I’m taking care of myself (that’s how he ends all his messages by telling me he loves me so much & to ‘take care of yourself, mama’) 💛

“Kuya, I miss you and I love you so much… you’re where you want to be, surrounded by so many who love & care for you.

“Yesterday was only the 4th time in 1 year of being in the 🇺🇸 that mama went to a mall because I wanted to be the one to choose your new clothes. I’m so proud of you! Because of your discipline, jogging & swimming everyday, you’ve already lost more than 20 pounds.👏

“Some people who love & miss you from here + 1 super special person will arrive in a few days to personally bring home all your gifts.”

The popular media personality also revealed in the same post that she won’t be back the Philippines at least until 2025 because of her continued treatment in the US.

“Kuya, I wish I could join them, but mama needs a year & a half minimum of treatment because my latest blood panel confirmed I have 5 autoimmune conditions. Mama will need to semi-isolate in 3 weeks because my immunity already went down. You promised me you’ll spend Christmas up to my birthday here. Please keep praying for all of us?” she added.
