READ: Kris Aquino reveals suffering from autoimmune disease

A netizen with the handle @backback.ph said , “Ikaw [Kris Aquino' lang 'yung artista na proud na may sakit. Yung iba nagtatago pa para magpagamot.”

The Queen of All Media replied and explained that she has been very open about her autoimmune disease because she doesn't want the public to speculate about the status of her health.

“I am aware that this account has zero posts, zero followers but your comment deserves an answer. I wouldn't have found the right doctors had it not been for my followers and our friends praying for me.

“And the last thing I want is for people to speculate about my condition because I am fully aware the whole Philippines knows my mom died of cancer and when I lost so much weight I know some people thought I must also have the big C. So by telling the truth I avoided lies being spread about me.”

In a separate Instagram post on Christmas day, Kris gave an update about her medical treatment.

She also revealed that her son, Bimby Aquino, knows that her health problem is a serious one that could affect her career and endorsements.

“It's an unfair world when an 11 year old feels he needs to be the protector & guardian of secrets for his mama... someone no longer in our lives had told Bimb that if our endorsements knew the extent of his mama's health worries, she'd lose her contracts.

“What has changed in me is that i've stopped being angry that this had to happen because I am thankful it isn't rheumatoid arthritis which I would never have survived. My doctors have reassured me for as long as I am obedient about taking all my medication, religious about not exceeding my allowed work hours, and choosing our shoot locations carefully I can still look forward to a fulfilling life.”
