Philippine television personality Kris Aquino has disclosed that she recently underwent surgery due to an autoimmune disease. She also revealed the development of a new, unnamed autoimmune condition that has caused frightening symptoms.
Aquino, who has managed multiple autoimmune conditions since 2018, shared that her sons, Josh and Bimby, assist with her caregiving needs at home. Her eldest son, Josh, who is on the autism spectrum, manages caregiving duties during her long afternoon naps.
Amidst these health challenges, Aquino is making a gradual return to the public eye through various professional engagements. Recent projects include a promotional campaign for Netflix Philippines and a feature in Tatler Philippines. Her return to commercial work, such as for Shopee Philippines, has also been noted by fans.
