Kris Aquino pays tribute to late father Ninoy Aquino, opens up about childhood

Kris Aquino made an update on social media to honor her late father, Senator Ninoy Aquino, who would've turned 90 on November 27.

On Monday, Kris posted a childhood photo of her taken when she was a toddler.

In her caption, she recalled her childhood and the three years she spent closely with her father before he was imprisoned.

"How could the person mom would always say was your female version possibly forget? In heaven you celebrated your 90th birthday," Kris wrote.

She added, "I only experienced having you as my dad for 3 years & 3 months, from May 8, 1980 to August of 1983--yet you gave me so much of you…because we had to get to know each other (I was 19 months old nung kinulong ang dad namin)…from watching the nightly evening news, to our Barnes & Noble bonding, watching movies (our last was Return of the Jedi), going to all my school events--among the 5 of us, I was so blessed."

Kris also shared that Ninoy was supportive of her childhood dreams of being a celebrity and took pride in his youngest daughter's achievements.

"When my movies, TV shows & endorsements were all happening, mom was proud, BUT in my heart I knew you were even prouder…because you were the first to believe my childhood dreams would come true."

Kris ended her post with the lessons she learned from both her parents. "Subukan mang baguhin ang kwento ng kahapon, it's from you I learned to NEVER show anger, NEVER reveal your weakness. The child of Ninoy & Cory, the last still carrying their last names, learned from both: Faith in God, patience, protecting your integrity, standing firm w/ your words, trustworthiness & caring for all Filipinos regardless of chosen “color”, and sharing w/ those in need--those are values I hold on to & do my best to instill in my sons. God sees all & that's what matters. #hero."

Recently, Kris Aquino broke her silence on social media with a health update, detailing that despite her multiple life-threatening autoimmune diseases, she is cancer-free and receiving treatment in the U.S.

In June 2022, Kris declared a social media break to focus on recovery from her chronic health issues.

Kris's previous health update revealed more than four autoimmune diseases.
