When Kris Aquino speaks, the Philippines listens. But this time, the “Queen of All Media” didn’t just make headlines—she broke hearts and inspired thousands. In a deeply personal and emotional Instagram post, Kris Aquino revealed she now has 11 autoimmune diseases, a staggering escalation in her long and painful health journey. And that’s not all—there’s a heartfelt twist involving her son, Bimby, that fans absolutely didn’t see coming.

Let’s dive into Kris’s latest update, why her condition is more serious than ever, what it means for her future, and how Bimby Aquino-Yap is stepping into a new role that’s as inspiring as it is unexpected.

A Shocking Health Revelation: 11 Autoimmune Diseases

In her first Instagram update since May, Kris Aquino revealed that she had been diagnosed with two new autoimmune conditions. This brings her total to eleven—a number that stunned fans and medical followers alike. These two additional diseases are the result of complications from the nine she’s been battling for years. Although she has not yet disclosed their names, her existing conditions are already extensive and complex.

Kris’s condition has now reached the point where she is wheelchair-bound, and she admitted that she’s in the process of learning how to walk again. The emotional gravity of her post touched followers across the globe.

In her words, “Too bad I am now wheelchair bound… I still need to learn how to walk again.”

The Weather’s Impact: Typhoon Crising and a Health Setback

One of the most surprising elements of her update is how external factors—like the weather—can deeply affect someone with autoimmune diseases. Kris shared that Typhoon Crising worsened her rheumatoid arthritis, causing intense pain and inflammation.

“The typhoon made my rheumatoid arthritis hurt so much,” she revealed. This statement opened many eyes to how fragile life can be when the immune system turns against the body.

A Touching Move: Bimby Aquino-Yap Steps Up

Alongside her health update, Kris made another major announcement—her son, Bimby Aquino-Yap, will be taking over her Instagram account. This unexpected change signals a shift in how Kris engages with her followers and introduces a new dynamic to her public presence.

“Bimb will soon take over my IG (with me checking before he posts). Get to know us because we are very different people now,” she said.

At 18, Bimby is emerging as a strong and mature support system for his mother. Kris affectionately described him as the “6’2 male version of me,” offering fans a glimpse of someone who is not only athletic and charming, but also grounded and deeply caring.

Fighting for Family: “My Sons Aren’t Ready to Lose Me”

The emotional centerpiece of Kris’s message is her fierce love for her sons—Joshua and Bimby. Her fight isn’t just about survival; it’s about motherhood, legacy, and love.

“My effort to fight this health battle is not just for Kuya Josh and Bimb. I love my sons, and they aren’t ready to lose me, especially Bimb, who just turned 18,” she wrote. This heartfelt message has ignited a wave of support online, with many expressing admiration for her strength and determination.

Understanding the Battle: What Are Autoimmune Diseases?

Autoimmune diseases happen when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues and organs. For someone like Kris, managing just one of these diseases would be an uphill battle. But managing eleven? That’s nearly unprecedented.

Her conditions affect vital organs and systems, leading to constant fatigue, severe pain, and unpredictable flare-ups. It’s a day-to-day struggle that demands both physical and emotional resilience. Her story is shedding light on a health issue often misunderstood by the public, and it’s inspiring others to educate themselves about autoimmune disorders.

The Rumors, the Weight Gain, and the Truth

Recently, Kris has been the subject of various rumors, including speculation about a cancer diagnosis. These rumors were quickly denied by close friend and journalist Dindo Balares. The truth? Kris has gained weight—now reaching 112 pounds—not due to illness, but thanks to her improving appetite and joy in small indulgences.

According to entertainment insider Loi Villarama, her newfound love for fruits, milk with ice cream, banana spring rolls, and chocolate may have played a role. For fans, this small physical change is a beacon of hope—a sign that Kris is finding small joys again amid her health battles.

What’s Next for Kris and Bimby?

Kris teased a new kind of content coming to her Instagram account. With Bimby now taking a more active role, she announced that they’ll start answering fan questions together.

“At 11 PM, we’ll answer the questions we find intriguing and worth answering. Walang bastusan (No rudeness) please,” she stated.

This new interactive direction not only keeps fans involved but offers a more human, spontaneous side of Kris and her family. And yes, followers are already falling for Bimby’s candid, no-fuss charm.

A Story of Resilience: Kris Aquino’s Message to the World

Despite being confined to a wheelchair and battling numerous diseases, Kris’s spirit remains unbroken. Her honesty, grace, and humor shine through in every post. She doesn’t sugarcoat her condition, but she never lets it define her. She fights—not just for herself, but for her sons and the millions of fans who find strength in her words.

Kris Aquino’s autoimmune diseases may have taken a toll on her body, but they’ve only strengthened her will. As Bimby steps forward to support her in this journey, we are witnessing the rise of a powerful bond between mother and son—one built on love, understanding, and unwavering courage.
