MANILA, Philippines — The “Queen of All Media,” Kris Aquino disclosed that she was fighting five autoimmune disorders according to a post she shared on Instagram in October 2024. Throughout her medical journey, she has continuously posted updates on the social media platform, both to document her journey and to thank her family, team, and supporters for their well-wishes.

Today, January 26, 2026, Kris shared photos via her Instagram account that she said yes to having her PortaCath—a device used to draw blood and give treatments—redone. She reminisces about her mother, former president Corazon Aquino, whose birthday was on January 25, stating that she “never publicly shared with you all the excruciating operations and procedures she endured, and the difficult choices she made. She protected her privacy. I’m now choosing to post pictures/videos but not give detailed medical info.”

She also gives her thanks to her doctors, nurses, and medical team, as well as to her visitors, Senator Robin Padilla, Erich Gonzales, and RB A. Chanco.

The hashtags #bawalsumuko, #tuloyanglaban, and #lovelovelove have been a constant on her page, but in today’s post, she states, “Please change #fighting to #brave? I thank God for all of you.”

She promised that, “Kapag gumaling ako (When I get well), that’s when I should share what I wrote in my journals, the many witnessed holographic instructions should anything happen, and my many playlists.”

She also stated how she missed doing interviews and how a live video podcast would be possible “with the correct safety protocols.”
