Kris Aquino on her mom’s latest health condition

Kris Aquino

Host Kris Aquino emotionally revealed that mom Cory Aquino will be in the hospital indefinitely because of her ongoing battle against cancer. Mrs. Aquino’s hospitalization has been in the headlines for the past few days, and the Aquino family even engaged in a nine-day novena to pray for the former president’s speedy recovery. Before Kris’s statement yesterday, the family remained discreet with the details of her condition.

“We don’t want you to think that we’re just taking for granted all the prayers, all kindness, all the efforts of Filipinos trying to reach out to us,” Kris began. “But we tell her (Mrs. Aquino) everyday about all the outpouring (support), all letters, all emails, all calls that reminds us how much you love our mother.” At this point, Kris expressed that people’s prayers for her mom and their family give them strength and that they are grateful for the concern and care being extended to them.

Despite these trying times to the Aquino family, Kris said that they still find good things despite the situation. “We know that God knows best. We know that whatever will happen is part of His will. He has been so good to us, particularly to my family coz He’d given us the chance to make our mom feel how much we love her and how much people really love her. Maybe that was the best thing that heappened because of all the pain she went through,” Kris explained.

Kris also justified why she still went to work on The Buzz even though her mom remains in the hospital. “You have never made our family loved being Filipinos as much as you have made us love being Filipinos now because we could not ask for more,” shared Kris.

Kris repeated her gratitude, on behalf of her mom and family, to all the well-wishers. “She’s comfortable, she’s not in pain and to this day, she makes us feel loved and appreciated. In the middle of cries and tears we can smile because you love our mother. We could not ask for more.”
