FINALLY, QUEEN OF All Media Kris Aquino has been discharged from the hospital, specifically from St. Luke’s Medical Center BGC (Bonifacio Global City) in Taguig.
After six weeks of confinement, Kris is able to say she’s feeling well and smiling sweetly.
It’s the triumph of the human spirit, mind you.
For Chrissake (no pun intended), it’s no joke to have contracted illnesses as complicated, grievous and as deadly as autoimmune diseases, eleven of them, during initial phases that included the commonly dreaded lupus.
I could imagine it was like hell suffering from Systemic Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, among other maladies, mostly described in modern medicine.
BENIGNO AQUINO, JR., CORY AQUINO
But Kris, Kristina Bernadette Cojuangco Aquino, was able to battle and bear them with conviction and determination about four years ago.
If it had happened to anyone who’s body and soul are weak, who’s system or who’s pocket is bereft(considering the financial demands of the treatment), a patient could easily give up and buck down.
But not the youngest daughter of the murdered, martyred former senator and opposition leader Benigno Aquino, Jr. and the late former president Cory Aquino.
The sacrifice Ninoy had done for the nation just to liberate the Filipinos from authoritarianism in exchange for his life and a woman leader to redirect the life of the country were of paramount virtues.
They had the guts and the endurance.
It must have been in the genes of Kris.
‘[Kris] also requested well-wishers on her recent Valentine birthday to please refrain from sending her flowers because the pollen might trigger her allergy which is an anathema to her health especially at this point of her recovery.’
GENETIC LEGACY
The genetic legacy of courage and commitment is indeed working in the actress and TV host.
The prayerful Cory had influenced her daughter a lot about the power of meditation and prayers.
It must be noticed that in her regular posts in social media, specifically Instagram, Kris until now is thankful to those who are praying and wishing her well in her fight against her sickness.
It worked and still works.
There was even a time she was at the brink of collapse or in a situation between life and death.
Just recently, the former presidential sister and daughter had stopped breathing for nearly two minutes when she underwent a PICC line.
It was frightening but she withstood and won over the medical challenge.
After that fateful procedure, she came out, of course, alive and was welcomed at the recovery room by her kith and kin, foremost of them Bimby, her son by basketball player and politician James Yap.
At the moment, it’s another chapter of Kris’ life unfolding after discharge from her exclusive treatment hub.
SPORTING A NEW LOOK
Obviously, she’s sporting a new look by cutting her hair through the expertise of make-up artist and stylist Jonathan Velasco after a serious medication, feeling reenergized and pumping fresh blood into her veins.
As a matter of course, days before she got out of the facility, Kris Aquino was looking for a swimming pool in a private which she could enroll in a membership basis.
She also requested well-wishers on her recent Valentine birthday to please refrain from sending her flowers because the pollen might trigger her allergy which is an anathema to her health especially at this point of her recovery.
Hoping for her complete healing.
Happy for Kris.
