Kris Aquino.

She also admitted that five of them “can cause [her] death.” “Contrary to what you may assume, I am NOT a ‘diva’ patient. I asked vascular surgeon Dr.
James which hospital he was most comfortable to do my PICC Line change in and he chose Makati Med,” she said. “My medical team has grown because my diagnosed autoimmune diseases have now grown to 9. Five of them can cause my death.
That has been hard to process. But slowly I am learning to leave everything to God’s will because He knows best,” she further explained. A post shared by Kristina Bernadette Cojuangco Aquino (@krisaquino) The actress-host also shared that she regained her appetite and she currently weighs 88 pounds, while recalling the time she received turon, chocolate chip cookies, avocados, carabao milk, beef steak, pistachio sans rival, carbonara, and mangoes from friends.
“Jessica Soho is so caring [and] is a real friend — weekly she sends me mangoes, I eat a minimum of 3 a day. Chef Jessie for me makes the best angus Bistek Tagalog & her pistachio sans rival is superb. AMARE in Royce hotel, Clark has the best carbonara.
I am now 88 pounds, that’s a WIN. Because God helps those who help themselves,” she added. Aquino also shared that her ex-boyfriend, Dr.
Mike Padlan, declined to remain as one of her lead physicians, while reflecting on their past romance. “I am sad that you declined to remain as [one] of my lead physicians, but I do understand what you meant when you said to ‘LET ME GO’ — mahirap talaga kapag magkaibang mundo ang pinanggalingan at nakasanayan,” she said.

However, they parted ways five months later with Aquino claiming that he “didn’t love” her. This led to Padlan’s son speaking up for the physician in March 2025. Touching on their split, she hinted that Padlan has been upset with her following her explosive revelation.
“In time I still hope your anger will lessen and we shall both have PEACE IN OUR HEARTS. I’m almost there because I appreciate all I have [and] everyone who pray for me [and] make the effort to express their concern and compassion,” she said.
