Queen of All Media Kris Aquino became emotional as she looked back on her former self while continuing her private battle with multiple autoimmune diseases.

Aquino, who previously revealed that she has been diagnosed with nine autoimmune conditions and is dealing with complications from a potential tenth, is currently staying at a private resort where she is being cared for and served organic meals.

In a heartfelt moment shared by her close friend and former showbiz writer Dindo Balares, Aquino reportedly said, “You’ve seen my suffering, Kuya Dindo.” Balares also posted photos of Kris wearing pink, visibly moved after watching a viral video montage of her iconic television moments — a reminder of her once vibrant energy.

“People do not realize how much I miss the old me… But I am human and it hurts so much,” Kris shared, expressing her longing for her past self and her former strength.

Balares also took the opportunity to clarify rumors surrounding Kris’s whereabouts, firmly stating, “Kris is not in Caramoan. And I’m not there either.”

Despite her current condition, Aquino continues to receive overwhelming love, support, and prayers from her fans and close friends, all hoping for her complete recovery.
