Kris Aquino battles illness while commemorating mother Cory Aquino's death anniversary

Kris Aquino posted on Instagram on August 1, marking the 17th anniversary of her mother former President Corazon "Cory" Aquino's death. In the post she described severe leg pain caused by a failed treatment for an autoimmune condition and said she will continue fighting, with her next infusion scheduled for Wednesday.

She reflected on the loss of her mother, noting that the family has intellectually accepted the death but still feels the pain. Aquino highlighted the support of her sons, Josh and Bimby, who have been by her side—Josh visited Cory Aquino's grave at Manila Memorial Park while Bimby left a TV show celebration to stay with his mother during treatment.
