Kris Aquino didn’t feel well on January 15, Monday due to gastroenteritis. Amid being sick, she attended the awarding rites of People of the Year.
The said ceremony held in Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila grand ballroom. People Asia magazine granted the awards to personalities who serve as an inspiration to various industries.
Kris became the People Asia cover special in their December 2017-January 2018 issue. At the said awarding rites and ceremony, she wore a Roland Mouret yellow gown. While her 10-year-old son, Bimby, wore a Bang Pineda Barong Tagalog. After the ceremony, Kris posted a photo of them dressed down on Instagram.
“Headed home- they are just buying take out because nobody has eaten yet. W/ no heels- this is our true height disparity… Tonight- i forced myself to go to Sofitel for @peopleasia #peopleasia2017 awarding ceremony. Because it was my way of showing all of you that NOT GIVING UP is what makes you a winner.”
She wrote that people had suggested her to not wear yellow. However, Kris stood her ground and wore what she wanted to wear.
“I distinctly recall a meeting, in all fairness a very well meaning one- meant to help me get back on track during the 4th quarter of 2016. And 1 of the “suggestions” given to me was to refrain from wearing yellow. Well, as you probably all know i like marching to the beat of my own drum.”
Kris described what she wore on the event.
“PINK has always been my favorite color- but i wore a yellow @roland_mouret gown tonight because the fact is- tonight’s recognition happened because KCAP & i did it our way. We had no choice but to be outliers & disruptors. We had no recourse but to have the courage to take a risk, and guess what, the AUTHENTICITY is working.”
She additionally expressed her gratitude towards the online community.
“And i owe all this to you, the online community that has welcomed me when traditional broadcast media felt they no longer wanted nor needed me. So tonight is just me never getting tired of saying THANK YOU & i shall continue striving to be worthy of all the opportunities you have generously embraced me with. #lovelovelove ♥️♥️♥️”
She posted a video in January 16, Tuesday. She wrote on the caption of the said post that Bimby and Josh didn’t have to keep her company. She also wrote that she made Bincai drink her vitamins just in case.
“i told my 2 that they didn’t have to keep me company tonight because my fever’s still 38.2. Took my 1,000 mg of vitamin C & took Neozep Forte (sorry BioFlu but Neozep seems more effective for me). Diffusing lavender, eucalyptus, frankincense, and tea tree essential oils (I read up & they are supposed to give my immunity a boost.) Kuya & Bimb are the sweetest they drank their vitamins & said they just want to make me bantay (Bincai’s also w/ us & i also made her take vitamins to be sure.)”
Kris admitted she would rather rest and take the financial loss instead of forcing herself to work.
“We had shoots tomorrow BUT that’s the problem when you’re both the host & producer- i take the financial loss because it’s better to REST & lose a day than force myself to work & possibly lose the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday shoots. i appreciate my KCAP Team & my KCA Food Team- they promised to give me total peace to just sleep & recuperate tomorrow…”
The Queen of All Media also expressed her gratitude towards her team.
“Tonight was very special, but the accolade is more meaningful because God blessed me w/ sons who really LOVE me & co-workers who care for me and made me feel they are all proud of me. Yes, my body feels really weak- but my spirit & heart feel strong! Again, thank you to you, my digital family, for helping me rebuild my career & reminding me that my work life still has purpose. #gratitude #positivity GOOD NIGHT & please STAY HEALTHY. ♥️♥️♥️”
