<p>After having undergone some surgical procedures done earlier this week, Kris Aquino took to social media in the early hours of August 24, Sunday, to share a message of gratitude to the team of healthcare workers involved in her treatment. The 54-year-old actress and TV host had been implanted with a port-a-cath –– a small, implantable device used for long-term intravenous access — last August 20, a day before the national holiday commemorating her father former Senator Benigno &quot;Ninoy&quot; Aquino, Jr.’s passing. </p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DNtFO4Y5qrt/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=768&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A6689661.299999714%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="597" 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><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>In her latest post on Instagram, Kris shared a closer look at her new implant. “I am out of the hospital, now staying in Makati Diamond Residences. In my opinion it’s currently the best designed serviced apartment because of the high ceilings, spacious bathroom, very comfortable bed and lighting that makes everyone look good. It has this luxurious Japanese simplicity… To interventionist cardiologist (not to mention my cousin in law) Dr Nick Cruz, Dr Billy, his fellow; Dr @ging.md one of my rheumatologists; Josh, the ultrasound technician; and for putting up with my never ending questions about his treatment plan and when will he invite me to his fruit farm- my at times favorite and at other times the doctor i love to fight with and complain to but his patience must be heaven sent. Hindi nya ko pinapatulan… There are many doctors in St. Luke’s BGC and he’s the head of the department i am most closely associated with… i promised i would never write or mention his name. #wordofhonor”</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/8/10/kris-aquino-announces-going-into-isolation-for-six-months-there-may-be-no-tomorrow-for-me-0203"><strong><u>READ: Kris Aquino announces going into isolation for six months: ‘There may be no tomorrow for me’</u></strong></a></div><p>In the same post, the Philippines’ undisputed Queen of All Media also thanked all her fans and loyal followers who have been hoping for her speedy recovery as she battles various health issues which include several autoimmune diseases for the past few years. “Thank you for caring enough about me, my sons and the improvement of my health to keep us in your prayers. In one of my recent Bible devotional reading, your actions are called UNMERITED GRACE. Thank you.”</p><p>Earlier this month, Kris had shared her initial fears about her fans losing faith in her recovery if she would post regular updates on her social media account. “On purpose matagal akong hindi nag upload. I have to admit if I told you what was happening, some of you may stop praying because my autoimmune diseases were increasing in number &amp; my life threatening ailments needed me to make a brave choice. Trust me it’s difficult to accept every night when I sleep that there may be no tomorrow for me.”</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/8/22/kris-aquino-says-she-is-fighting-for-her-life-for-her-sons-matagal-na-po-ako-sumuko-1542"><strong><u>READ: Kris Aquino says she is fighting for her life for her sons: ‘If I wasn’t their mama, matagal na po akong sumuko’</u></strong></a></div><p>Kris also had opened up about her plans to go into isolation in her family’s home province of Tarlac for the next six months as she undergoes a new treatment plan. “I came to a decision- I have another 6-8 hr. infusion session in 6 days, it’s one of the strongest autoimmune immunosuppressants together with my 2 other, 1 taken daily, and 1 given via injection will totally wipe out my immunity… I will be in preventive isolation for 6 months. I’ll live in our compound in Tarlac; my Cojuangco cousins and I fondly call it Alto,” she shared.</p>
