Kris Aquino is full of gratitude as she celebrated her 54th birthday this year despite continuous battle with her autoimmune diseases.
Aquino took to Instagram to express gratitude to her family and close friends for organizing a surprise “asalto” (gathering) for her birthday on Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day.
The Queen of All Media shared photos of the birthday presents she received, including stuffed toys, flower bouquets, balloons and cakes.
“I want to thank all my friends for taking time to greet me last night (asalto) and my friends from OC, who flew in. But above all – I thank you for being with me, kuya Josh, and Bimb during my journey towards recovery,” she captioned her post.
In the comments section, fellow celebrities Marian Rivera, Bianca Gonzalez and Vina Morales, among others, extended their birthday and well-wishes to Aquino.
Earlier this month, Aquino’s close friend Dindo Balares shared that the actress-host almost slammed her head into a marble wall after losing her balance in the bathroom as she was experiencing weakness in her left knee.
Balares emphasized that despite Aquino’s struggle with “severe body faiths,” her faith never wavers as she remains hopeful for her recovery.
In November, Aquino revealed that she was in isolation due to her worsening immunity. At the time, Balares also belied reports of the actress-host’s supposed death.
