Walang perfect na relationship but if you are willing to live with and learn to laugh at each other’s quirks then you have a chance to go the distance,” Kris wrote in the caption. </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-10" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUMeE75EyO6/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%3A10%2C%22os%22%3A621805.1000000238%2C%22ls%22%3A73459.30000007153%2C%22le%22%3A73709.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="847" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-10" 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><p>She also reflected on the importance of care and communication in relationships, while making it clear that her health remains her top priority.  </p><p>“And remember to fight fair, nobody should play the victim not if you truly love one another. Nobody is ever too busy to carve out a 10 minute text exchange or a 5 minute call to check on each other. My best girl friends and I always start our WhatsApp messages with ‘how are you’? For now my priority is my health,” Kris added. </p><p>In the video, Kris subtly showed the Port-a-Cath on her chest and expressed gratitude to the medical team who handled her procedure. She candidly recalled the experience, saying: “Gising po ako the whole time. Naramdaman ko nung hiwa, wala lang. That’s life. Ang taas lang talaga ng pain tolerance ko that’s why kinaya ko.” </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/1/17/-new-hair-same-brave-spirit-kris-aquino-gets-haircut-following-medical-procedure-1447"><strong><u>READ: ‘New hair, same brave spirit’: Kris Aquino gets a haircut following medical procedure</u></strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Throughout the reel, Kris remained open and warm, unboxing gifts with the help of her son, Bimby.

Or are there any condo units, homes or townhomes for lease in Makati,Taguig,Mandaluyong,San Juan, or Pasig that have easy to cover with the big patio and garden umbrellas I’ve seen online- lap pools or shallow swimming pools; and are within 30 minutes inclusive of traffic from St Luke’s Global, MMC, Asian Hospital, Medical City, or Cardinal Santos?” she wrote. </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/1/13/kris-aquino-s-procedure-gets-postponed-due-to-high-blood-pressure-my-heart-is-overwhelmed-1120"><strong><u>READ: Kris Aquino’s procedure gets postponed due to high blood pressure: ‘My heart is overwhelmed’</u></strong></a></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-8" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DTemfMCE103/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%3A8%2C%22os%22%3A577143.6000000238%2C%22ls%22%3A73459.30000007153%2C%22le%22%3A73709.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="719" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-8" 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><p>Amid these updates, Kris further delighted fans by sharing her goals for the video podcast she hopes to do.

But in order for me to continue being brave, i need to do slowly what i love until i am stronger,” she said. </p><p>The Queen of All Media went on to describe what viewers can expect if the project pushes through.  </p><p>“My goal is once a week sit down interviews with people who for me are interesting and with God’s blessing, weekly enjoyable treatment of products i really use. Because there’s a team doing my hair &amp; makeup, i have a skeleton crew, a 2 cam setup shooting me and the closeups of the others as well as product shots and I’m excited to start sharing new home cooking recipes made simpler with all of you. Happy viewing,” Kris concluded her caption.  </p><p>The video ended on a touching note as Kris, along with her sons Bimby and Josh, thanked everyone who has supported and prayed for her throughout her journey. </p><p>“We love you all, thank you dahil you&#x27;ve been praying for me non-stop, they still have a mama. And they will have a mama for many years to come, hopefully,” Kris said.</p>
