53-year-old actress-host Kris Aquino is back home in the Philippines on Friday after two years of seeking treatment for her autoimmune diseases in the United States. In fashion designer and friend Michael Leyva’s Instagram Story, it showed an airport view from the inside of a plane with Kris Aquino.

The Queen of All Media could be seen in the window seat wearing a cream hoodie with a face mask and eye glasses on beside an unidentified male.

Another picture posted by Merci Cania Gonzales, who has been frequently seen on social media accompanying the Aquinos in California where the actress-host sought treatment for her diseases, showed Aquino’s companions at the Tom Bradley International Terminal in Los Angeles bound for Manila.

Aquino also posted a photo of the USA flag, an airplane emoji, and the Philippine flag. According to the actress-host, she arrived in US with 3 diagnosed autoimmune conditions, a 4th was confirmed in late June of 2022 (1. Autoimmune Thyroiditis 2. Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria 3. Churg Strauss/EGPA- a rare, complicated form of vasculitis 4. Systemic Sclerosis and this 2024 she was diagnosed with 5. SLE/Lupus and 6. Rheumatoid Arthritis.)

They are still waiting for the results of 2 more autoimmune conditions. Aquino thanked everyone for their continues prayers and support, as she explained why she decided to go back.

“I need to start my second immunosuppressant infusions in 2-3 weeks (it’s a gentler term for chemotherapy). Emotionally I need the encouragement and unwavering faith my sisters & cousins, closest friends, and trusted team of doctors can provide.”

“Sadly, what was the BATTLE TO IMPROVE MY HEALTH is now THE STRUGGLE TO PROTECT MY VITAL ORGANS. This is now the FIGHT OF MY LIFE,” she added.
