AFTER a very long time, Kris Aquino made her first public appearance on Tuesday, February 25, at the People Asia’s People of the Year 2025.
Aquino graced the event and showed support for her friend and fashion designer Michael Leyva, which was one of the awardees, and was accompanied by her son Bimby.
During the photo opportunity, Michael requested that Kris take off her mask, but the latter refused, saying “Hindi nga ako pwede magtanggal ng mask, papagalitan ako ng doctor ko.”
Aquino said her last public outing was before the pandemic lockdown, and coincidentally on Tuesday was an iconic day for her family and the nation, as the country commemorated the EDSA People Power Revolution.
“I actually thought today was the 24th and tomorrow is 25. He (Michael) was the one who told me na tomorrow is the 25th. Ay perfect, what a perfect (day) to come out,” said Kris.
She also explained why she has high praises and love for Leyva, saying “he is like a dad to Bimb and to Kuya (Josh).”
“He is more than just a friend. He is like the younger brother I never had,” she said.
In her most recent post on Instagram, Kris explained that she is not yet fit to work. She is still under treatment for auto immune diseases.
When asked on how she feels, Kris said she is “not so okay”. (ABS-CBN News)
