SA latest social media post ni Queen of All Media Kris Aquino, muling nagbigay ng update sa kanyang kalusugan at patuloy na nagpapasalamat sa mga tumutulong sa kanyang paggaling.
“This “carousel” of photos and videos happened January 24 6:30-10PM; January 25 from 4 PM to 6:45 PM. i said yes to have my PortaCath re-done,” simula ng post niya.
“Thank you to my cousin in law Dr. Nic Cruz who arrived 1 AM from a conference in Singapore and vascular surgeon Dr Jeff Chua.
“Thank you Dr Jonnel Lim, @ging.md, @drkatcee, not pictured BUT nagpuyat until 4 AM Friday sa pagbantay when i urgently needed to try a new medicine BUT had an allergic reaction, and again kept me company until Bimb arrived “home” it’s our monthsary here in SLMC Global, head of Rheumatology Dr Jombi Lichauco.”
Dagdag kuwento pa niya, “My chronic pain is being managed by the brilliant Dr Henry Lu and his 2nd year fellow for pain management and now my friend Dr. Angela.
“My personal nurses (happy birthday Nurse Kate!) led by Nurse Elle, Nurse Ky, and Nurse Mark. The nurses here in the 16th floor and all assigned in the OR and recovery room- thank you for continuing to have faith in my recovery.
“January 25 is my mom’s birthday. My mom never publicly shared with you all the excruciating operations and procedures she endured, and the difficult choices she made. “She protected her privacy. i’m now choosing to post pictures/videos but not give detailed medical info. Kapag gumaling ako, that’s when i should share what i wrote in my journals, the many witnessed holographic instructions should anything happen, and my many playlists.”
Hindi nakalimutang pasalamatan ni Kris sina Sen. Robin Padilla at Erich Gonzales sa kanilang pagbisita.
“Thank you Senator @robinhoodpadilla for your Wednesday visit and @erichgg & @rbchanco for Friday night’s visit. My blood earlier gushed out, i saw it because i was kept awake the entire time. My mom i know kept me SAFE. Until my wound heals completely we can’t move in to our semi permanent residence. (Our home in Tarlac is the other.)
“Thank you for your prayers and concern. Please change #fighting to #brave?
I thank God for all of you. You don’t need to know how much i suffer, you need to see that i’ll continue praying and believing that i will reach remission.”
Rebelasyon pa ni Kris, “With the correct safety protocols, pwede akong mag taped as live video podcast.
“I MISS DOING INTERVIEWS! Will you watch & subscribe? Like this post if you want my podcast to start soon with a partial home tour? My birthday gift to you. [yellow heart emoji].
Well, kaabang-abang ang napipintong pagbabalik ni Kris, hopefully makayanan ito ng kanyang kalusugan, kaya patuloy natin siyang ipagdasal.

NAG-DELETE si Claudine Barretto ng ipinost n’ya tungkol sa kanyang very loyal at long time P.A. na si Marisol Acap.
Ayon kay Claudine, diumano’y kinidnap daw ang tatlong anak n’ya kabilang si Sabina.
Nagbanta si Claudine na tatawag o ipapa-NBI si Marisol. Naglabas din sia Claudine ng diumano’y limang milyong pagkakautang daw sa kanya.
Hindi na mababasa ang post na ito ni Claudine sa kanyang Instagram account. Sa halip, ang meron na lang, ang tila facetime nila ng mga anak at may caption na, “Safe and sound.”
At may mga video rin ito na tila ba ang saya-saya. Kaya ang mga comment ng netizen, nakakaaliw rin basahin, huh!
Si Marisol ay nanahimik pa rin, pero marami ang nag-uudyok na sana ay magsalita ito para malaman din ang sife of her story. Plus, sa tagal n’ya kay Claudine, siguradong marami rin siyang alam.
Si Raymart Santiago pa lang, sa pamamagitan ng kanyang lawyer ang naglabas ng statement. At tahasan n’yang itinanggi ang paratang sa kanya ng estranged wife.

MISMONG ang Favor Church ang nag-announce sa kanilang social media account na Pastor na nga ang dating actor at singer na si Edward Barber.
Kasama si Edward sa na-ordinahan noong Sabado.
“Last Saturday, during our Leaders Advance, we ordained our new pastors and pastors in training — acknowledging the call of ministry on their lives and commissioning them for the work God has entrusted to them.
“We honor their yes and heart for Jesus and Favor Church! Keep them in your prayers as they step into this season.
We have an exciting year ahead, church!”
Naka-post din na, “Congratulations to Ps. Edward Barber on your ordination as a pastor at Favor Church Manila!
Wishing you wisdom, strength, and blessings as you shepherd and inspire many.”
Isa kami sa natuwa para kay Edward kahit noong una n’yang inanunsiyo na nag-aaral siya para maging Pastor. Ang ginawa n’ya ay pagsunod sa calling at hindi dahil sa profession.

NATUPAD ang wish ng ex-PBB 2.0 housemate at Sparkle teen na si Lee Victor na magkaroon ng sarili niyang single under GMA Playlist titled “Nagkakahiyaan.”
First love daw kasi niya ay music at singing.
“Honestly, what a dream come true. Simula pa lang nu’ng elementary ako and high school nangangarap na ako magkaroon ng sariling single. Like kung makikita ako ng younger self ko ngayon I think he will be super proud,” sey niya.
Ngayon ay ready na raw siya for more challenging roles sa TV. Lumabas na si Victor noon sa ‘Royal Blood’ at ‘Widows’ War.’
“I’m really open to explore new roles. Gusto ko rin po ng mga challenging roles, tipo ng roles na kailangan mong paghandaan. Willing to take that challenge.
“Siguro comedy, drama. Hindi ako marunong ‘yung mga action like kicks and punches pero kung turuan ako, dumaan ako sa workshops, why not? Baka maging sidekick ako ni Kuya Ruru Madrid,” tawa pa niya.
