The undisputed “Queen of All Media” continues her health battle after being diagnosed with 11 autoimmune diseases last June. In her latest Instagram post last October 12, Kris wrote, “It’s been a very tough 8 weeks but somehow I SURVIVED. This video is about my 2 boys. And why i’m fighting for them.”</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DPtOVedEy0f/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A96943.90000000037%2C%22ls%22%3A96285.79999999981%2C%22le%22%3A96930.29999999981%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="925" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>In the same post, Kris also talked about how proud she is of her youngest son’s Bimby’s journey when it comes to music.

She wrote, “My 18 year old has for now decided to continue with his singing lessons with coach Thor (plus some super star “Titos”who have volunteered to teach him about stage presence and how to make audience rapport fun for all. From the time he was 11 he’s been my companion every time I’ve had to been put to sleep for the numerous procedures I have undergone. A singing doctor- thank you hunny for being the embodiment of what mama had wished for.” </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOZ9B5_EU5-/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A129402.20000000019%2C%22ls%22%3A96285.79999999981%2C%22le%22%3A96930.29999999981%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="791" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Last year while they were still staying in the states, Kris had already hinted about Bimby entering showbiz soon. She wrote as a reply to a follower in one of her posts, “Bimb might go home after my birthday. He needs to work because my medical bills are already getting higher &amp; higher. But Tin, the stage mom is already saying NO to a name change. He’ll stay as Bimb. No last  name, like Drake,” she shared.</p><p>Despite being in and out of medical facilities this year, Kris has continued to keep her followers in the loop through social media and continuing to show how determined she is to overcome her illnesses. In a previous post, she wrote, “Marami na kaming pinagdaanan. In 5 days, we would have been back a year. I wish you could hear how quiet the hallways are. Thank you for praying, isa pang TEST OF TAPANG. 🇵🇭”</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DOYu_yOEatQ/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A149522.2000000002%2C%22ls%22%3A96285.79999999981%2C%22le%22%3A96930.29999999981%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="665" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/9/20/look-is-bimby-aquino-preparing-to-become-a-singer-0848"><strong>LOOK: Is Bimby Aquino preparing to become a singer?</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>In another post, Kris shows how resilient she is throughout all her challenges in life, which also included a heartbreaking moment last month with her non-showbiz boyfriend. </p><p>“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. 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, 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 🇵🇭; 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 &amp; mom…i shared my personal life but with no names because that’s how it will be. Please pray for all those doing their best to keep bimb &amp; kuya josh’s mama strong enough to start her physical therapy. #bawalsumuko #tuloyanglaban”</p>
