Kris Aquino, Hospitalized Due to High Blood Pressure: Latest Health Update and Message to Fans

 

Kris Aquino clarifies she's very much alive: 'Still'

Manila, Philippines — Kris Aquino’s health has once again raised concerns among the public after she was rushed to the hospital due to high blood pressure. According to the latest update from her friend and writer-editor Dindo Balares, the actress and host-actress is still alive and well and is currently battling 11 autoimmune diseases.

Despite the widespread rumors and misinformation about his condition, Dindo assured Kris’ fans that he is still alive and his fight against the disease continues. Here is the complete report on his current condition, the events of his latest hospital visit, and the positive news shared by Kris herself.


Who is Kris Aquino and what is her health condition?

Kris Aquino is a well-known personality in the Philippine showbiz industry. Aside from being an actress, she is also a great TV host and a personality who is close to the hearts of many Filipinos. But in recent years, news about her health has gradually spread.

Kris faces a difficult challenge due to having not one but eleven autoimmune diseases — a serious condition in which the immune system attacks its own cells and tissues. As a result, she has had to undergo a series of medical procedures and ongoing treatment.


Kris Aquino’s Recent Hospitalization

According to Dindo Balares, a close friend and writer-editor, who gave an update to the public on September 4, 2025, Kris had a serious problem with his blood pressure which reached 172/112 , a number that was extremely high and dangerous.

“It was really scary,” Kris told Dindo. With the many illnesses she was suffering from, controlling vital signs like blood pressure was a big challenge.

When Kris felt her blood pressure suddenly rise, she immediately said that Alvin (probably her personal assistant or family member) called St. Luke’s Medical Center to ask for an ambulance. At the hospital, she underwent tests to determine if there were any other blood clots that were worsening or causing problems.


The Good News: Blood Clot Reduction and Hope for Treatment in Progress

One of the most exciting parts of Kris’ update was the good news that the blood clot that caused her surgery is shrinking significantly . This is a positive indication that the treatments she is receiving are effective.

Despite other symptoms and feelings, Kris told her friend that she was not giving up. In her own words, “Kaya pa!” — a strong message of hope and determination in the midst of intense trials.


The Viral Photo and Kris’ Message

Kris sent Dindo photos taken while she was in the hospital, showing her condition in a hospital bed, including the use of a port-a-cath — a medical device used for quick injections of medicine or blood. In these photos, her son, James “Bimby” Yap Jr., can also be seen carefully caring for his mother.

In her Instagram post on August 22, 2025, Kris also shared an update on her health, including photos showing her having a port-a-cath inserted. It showed her courage and the support of her family in her fight.


Spread of Misinformation and How It Was Clarified

Amidst the updates, a disturbing death hoax or false news also spread claiming that Kris Aquino had passed away. Dindo Balares immediately denied this, saying that he contacted Kris herself to confirm the news.

Due to the lack of signal in the area where Dindo was, it was difficult for him to contact her immediately, which caused concern among those asking about her condition. But when he spoke to Kris that night, it brought great relief not only to him but also to Kris’ fans.


Kris Aquino’s Health Test: A Deep Struggle

Kris Aquino’s struggles are no joke. Having eleven autoimmune diseases means a difficult and complicated battle with health. In this condition, the body’s immune system becomes overactive and attacks the body’s own cells, causing a variety of symptoms from inflammation, pain, to serious complications.

Moreover, the presence of blood clots further complicates his condition, which can be extremely dangerous if not treated promptly. That is why controlling his blood pressure is one of the main goals of his doctors.


How Family and Friends Support Helps

Another important aspect of Kris’s fight is the tireless support of her family, especially her son Bimby, and close friends like Dindo Balares. These photos and updates show a close and loving family that gives her the strength to face life’s challenges.

Kris’ positive words and her determination are an inspiration to many that no matter how difficult the trials are, there is still hope with each passing day.

Finally, Dindo Balares reminded Kris’ fans not to worry. Although she still has a lot to go through and illnesses to fight, she remains brave and determined.

“For his followers, please don’t worry. Kris is still suffering and being treated a lot. But he is always brave in life. He himself said so, he can do it!” according to Dindo.

It is a reminder that despite trials, love, faith, and resilience are the most important weapons to overcome any battle in life.


Conclusion

Kris Aquino’s situation is a testament to a strong spirit and determination. Despite the serious illnesses she suffers from, she continues to fight and share her stories to show that she is not alone.

In a time of misinformation and rumors, it is important to remain cautious of the news we see and wait for official statements from those in question. For now, the real news is that Kris Aquino is alive, fighting, and continuing to hope for her full recovery.

Let us continue to pray for his health and strength — for his family, friends, and most of all, for him.

27 YEARS OF SILENCE… BROKEN. For nearly three decades, it sat hidden — a sealed envelope buried deep among Princess Diana’s private papers. No one knew it existed. No one was meant to. Until now. When a royal archivist uncovered the letter and quietly delivered it to Kensington Palace, Princess Catherine asked to read it alone. Minutes later, staff say she emerged in tears — whispering, “It’s like she’s still here… talking to us.” The letter was addressed “To my future granddaughter — whoever she may be.” It was written just months before Diana’s tragic passing. Inside were words Catherine later described as “hauntingly prophetic.” “The world will watch you,” Diana wrote, “but never let them tell you who you are.” That single line — from a mother she never met, to a granddaughter she never knew — has shaken the palace and captured the hearts of millions. Now royal insiders are asking: Who else knew about this letter? Was it meant to be found… or was fate simply ready to reveal it? 27 years of silence. One hidden message.
