Kris Aquino’s close friend, Dindo Balares, once again dismissed rumors of her supposed passing, underscoring the Queen of All Media’s intent to live longer for her sons Josh and Bimby.
Balares addressed the death hoax through his Facebook page on Saturday, Dec. 21, saying two individuals reached out to him to ask about Kris’ current condition.
“Para po sa followers ni Krissy, dobleng ingat na lang po sa fake news at misinformations. Huwag maniniwala hangga’t hindi galing sa kanyang pamilya o reliable sources,” the former writer said.
(To Krisy’s followers, be wary of fake news and misinformations. Don’t believe what you see online unless it’s from her family or reliable sources.)
“Patuloy ang gamutan at pagpapalakas niya. Katunayan, food ang madalas na topic namin ngayon,” he added. “Sa last chat namin, nagtatanong siya kung may harvest pa ng Japanese sweet potato at kung anu-ano pa ang iba kong tanim.”
(She is continuously receiving medication and recovering. Actually, food is our frequent topic lately. In our last conversation, she was asking if I have a harvest of Japanese sweet potato. She also asked what other plants I have.)
In a succeeding post, Balares showed a recent photo of Kris, Josh and Bimby which the Queen of All Media sent him through a messaging application.
Balares further noted that Kris has been feeling sleepy lately, which he hopes is a sign of her body recovering.
“Madalas pa ring may masasakit sa katawan, 24/7 naka-monitor ang blood pressure at heartbeat, at tuloy ang gamutan,” he stated.
(She still feels soreness in her body; her blood pressure and heartbeat are monitored 24/7; and her medication is continuous.)
“’But we’re together- that’s what matters,’ sabi niya nang ipadala ang picture (she said when she sent this picture),” Balares added, quoting Kris. “’And I’ll do everything for us to be together longer. Alleluia.’”
Aquino, who has been diagnosed with six autoimmune diseases, returned to the Philippines last September after over two years of seeking medical treatment in the United States.
