Posted on August 22, 2025 | Manila, Philippines

In a deeply moving revelation that has captivated both political and entertainment circles, former Senator Bam Aquino has finally opened up about his famous cousin, Kris Aquino, and her son Bimby, sharing a personal story of sacrifice and family loyalty that had remained private for years.

During an exclusive interview with a prominent broadcast journalist, Bam Aquino, who has remained relatively quiet following his Senate career, spoke candidly about the unspoken bond that connects their family and the extraordinary act of generosity Kris showed during one of the darkest periods of his life.

A Sacrifice Kept Secret for Years
Bam recounted that the turning point occurred after a challenging chapter in his political career. Following his Senate loss, he faced financial strain and emotional turmoil, even contemplating stepping away from public life entirely.

“I was at my lowest. I didn’t know where to turn. I felt like I had failed my family, my supporters, and even myself,” he revealed, his voice heavy with emotion.

It was during this vulnerable moment that Kris Aquino stepped in. In an act that stunned even close family members, she reportedly sold one of her prized properties in Metro Manila and gave the proceeds directly to Bam to help him rebuild his life and support his young family.

“She told me, ‘You’re not going to fall—not while I’m alive.’ And I broke down. I cried,” Bam recalled.

Bimby’s Unexpected Role
Adding a surprising twist to the story, Bam shared that it was Bimby, Kris’s teenage son, who encouraged his mother to help him.

“Bimby overheard Kris crying one night, worried about me. And you know what he told her? ‘Help him, Mom. That’s what family does.’” Bam said, visibly moved.

The story has since struck a chord online, with netizens praising the Aquino family for their unwavering support and love behind the scenes, far removed from the spotlight and celebrity glamour.

Kris Aquino’s Ongoing Health Battle
While highlighting Kris’s generosity, Bam also addressed her ongoing health struggles. The Queen of All Media continues to fight autoimmune diseases but remains steadfast for the people she loves.

“She may be sick, but her heart has never been stronger. She fights every day—not just for herself but for Bimby, for Josh, and for everyone she loves,” Bam said, adding a heartfelt appeal: “Please continue praying for her. She is a public figure, yes, but above all, she is a mother, a sister, and a fighter.”

Public Reaction: Admiration and Tears
The interview has sparked an outpouring of admiration on social media, with fans celebrating Kris’s generosity and Bimby’s maturity.

Comments poured in:
“Kris Aquino proves once again she has the biggest heart in showbiz.”
“Bimby is wise beyond his years—Kris, you’ve raised him beautifully.”
“This is the family loyalty story we need to hear.”

#KrisSacrifice, #BamAndBimby, and #QueenKris quickly trended nationwide, as millions resonated with the themes of family support and selfless love.

A Queen Beyond the Spotlight
Despite withdrawing from public life and facing personal health challenges, Kris Aquino has once again touched hearts—not with endorsements or tell-alls, but through a quiet act of love that profoundly impacted her cousin’s life.

For Bam Aquino, the moment of vulnerability and the support he received has reignited admiration for him among the public, sparking conversations about a potential return to public service.

“She didn’t just save me financially,” Bam concluded. “She reminded me of who I am—and who I can still become.”
