MANILA, Philippines — Kris Aquino has revealed that her son Bimby was told they might lose their endorsements if the extent of her health condition was disclosed.
“It’s an unfair world when an 11 year old feels he needs to be the protector & guardian of secrets for his mama. Someone no longer in our lives had told Bimb that if our endorsements knew the extent of his mama’s health worries, she’d lose her contracts,” Aquino wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
Aquino claimed the post was written “for no other reason than the belief that TRUTH SETS US FREE.”
The Queen of All Media shared this happened when they still did not have a definitive prognosis of her autoimmune disease.
She explained, “I did this because i don’t want those working in KCAP, our personal staff, and my siblings & my sons to be burdened by what is primarily my battle.”
Regardless of her health condition, Aquino remained positive and said: “I shall emphasize God blessed us that i had an early diagnosis.”
“Others aren’t as fortunate and only know what’s wrong when organs have irreversible damage. All my organs are still okay,” she added.
She said her doctors had reassured her that as long as she takes her medication, not exceed her allowed work hours and carefully choose her shoot locations for endorsements, she could still “look forward to a fulfilling life.”
Aquino ended her post by saying, “I choose to see 2018 as the year i defined who I am & what I’m made of. Because through it all, my heart still found a way to say- i trust You, i love You, i am grateful to You, my Lord & Savior.”
Aquino revealed in October 2018 that she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.
In a previous Instagram post, she explained this condition by saying “the immune system mistakes part of your body — like your joints or skin — as foreign.”
