The one and only Kris Aquino, the iconic “Queen of All Media,” has finally touched down in Manila after a two-year battle with autoimmune diseases abroad. The news sent a wave of excitement and support across the nation, eager to see the beloved star back on home soil.
On Thursday, September 12th, Aquino herself took to social media, announcing her homecoming with a photo aboard a plane, the Philippine flag proudly displayed beside the American one. This simple gesture sent a powerful message – Kris was coming home, ready to face the next chapter in her health journey surrounded by her loved ones.
Kris’ official account, now migrated to the new platform X (formerly Twitter), further delighted fans by sharing a heartwarming picture of the star with her companions, including her close friend and fashion designer Michael Leyva. Leyva, a pillar of strength throughout Kris’ ordeal, also fueled the excitement. He posted an Instagram story upon their arrival, declaring in bold letters, “I’m so baack!” – a sentiment undoubtedly shared by millions of Filipinos.
A New Chapter in the Fight
This homecoming isn’t just a joyful reunion; it marks a crucial step in Kris’ ongoing fight. In her Instagram post, she revealed the reason behind her return: “The reason I decided to go home is because I need to start my second immunosuppressant infusions in two to three weeks (it’s a gentler term for chemotherapy),” she wrote. This transparent honesty resonated with fans, reminding everyone that Kris’ journey is far from over.
However, the firm spirit of the “Queen of All Media” shines bright. Surrounded by the love and support of her family, friends, and a nation rooting for her recovery, Kris is ready to face this new challenge head-on. While the future remains uncertain, one thing is clear, Kris Aquino is back in the Philippines, where she belongs, and her fighting spirit burns brighter than ever.
