Kris Aquino to late mother Cory Aquino: 'Your children are 100% united'

By Bianca Geli

Kris Aquino paid tribute to her late mother, former President Corazon "Cory" Aquino on January 25--what would have been her 89th birthday.

The TV host and actress mentioned on social media that despite her health issues and multiple exposures to COVID-19, she is grateful that she's somehow dodged the virus.

"It's unreal, since August 2020 Bimb & I have had so many direct exposures to covid+ individuals, yet our guardian angels protected us considering I'm immunocompromised & Bimb is asthmatic .

She also opened up about her renewed relationship with her three sisters, Maria Elena "Ballsy" Aquino-Cruz, Aurora Corazon "Pinky" Aquino-Abellada, and Victoria Elisa "Viel" Aquino-Dee.

"This art card was sent to me by my Ate…like other families nagkakatampuhan, nagkaka-misunderstandings, and minsan nag aaway pa rin kaming four. But because of what I'm now going through my 3 older sisters know their baby sister needs them now more than ever.

"It's not only my Ate I feel loves & understands me completely-my sister Pinky & her husband Manolo recognized, acknowledged, and fully appreciated the innate generosity in me, they've been so supportive of all my healthcare decisions…my sister Viel is my polar opposite, she's shy & somewhat “allergic” to the spotlight BUT she's now doing her best to put herself in my shoes to understand the stress & pressure I endure because of my last name & the career path I chose."

Kris ended her post with a short but meaningful message to her late mother, revealing the late former president's wish to bring her children closer to each other. "Happy Birthday mom, your children are 100% united- exactly what you had always prayed for."

She also addressed rumors about her health as well as reports that she has passed away, calling out trolls who would rejoice if she passed away six months after the death of her older brother former President Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino III.

Kris mentioned, "Ayaw akong tigilan ng #fakenews and parang sobrang excited yung mga trolls na within 1 year both Noy & me would pass away.

“Sorry to disappoint pero buhay at ilalaban pa na mapahaba ang oras ko because Kuya Josh & Bimb still need me."
