After years of hiatus, Kris Aquino is set to return on TV as Willie Revillame’s co-host on GMA Network.
She hosted a TV special for Shopee’s shopping event on Sunday, August 8, at 10 in the morning. On Instagram post, the Queen of All Media happily announced this to her followers.
The actress-host began her post by thanking her “real friend” Willie.
“Paano ba magsisimula? THANK YOU to my friend, a real friend Willie Revillame because from even before the 1st lockdown, bago pa naging bahagi ng mga buhay namin ang SHOPEE he tried his best to convince @gmanetwork to give me a chance to cohost with him…” she wrote.
She also thanked GMA Films president and programming consultant to the GMA chairman Annette Gozon Valdes and First Vice President for Program Management Joey Abacan.
“Thank you @annettegozonvaldes and @joeyabacan for this opportunity… To my @shopee_ph family, maybe i can now share this part of my journey with my brother, my KUYA (sorry i will omit the exact date but this was a little over a month before his death) – napuntahan ko sya, naghintay ng more than 3 hours until he was peacefully resting para masilip sya sa ICU after a procedure. The whole team at Makati Med were just so caring & compassionate and they did EVERYTHING to protect his privacy. Sobrang na touch ako because i saw for all of them it was more than just professionalism, it was RESPECT.
“Gumawa ako ng paraan because they had to know how much i appreciated them- so my Shopee fam kept my secret so that i could order special kris ShopeePay vouchers. Walang lumabas- nagawan ng paraan, nakapag THANK YOU ako sa mga tahimik na nag alaga sa Kuya ko mula December 2019 nung labas masok na sya sa ospital. As i told my Shopee fam, i am fully aware my contract expires on 10/10- but they have my LOVE & LOYALTY for LIFE!” Kris added.

She had her last hosting stint in TV5’s Love Life with Kris in 2020. Kris admitted that she feels nervous about her TV comeback.
Aquino shared, “Honestly, takot akong bumalik on TV (and all platforms FB, YT, IG, and twitter) this Sunday because i know i’m underweight, although i’m fully vaccinated i do have autoimmune, i’m still grieving, and matagal na kong hindi lumalabas on network TV.”
Amid all of her present struggles, she said that she took the courage to face the cameras again for her followers.
“BUT sabi nyo hinahangaan nyo sa kin ang pagiging “strong” ko- NOW is my chance to prove it, and why should I be scared? Katabi ni KCA si WBR and this is for @shopee_ph. And for all of my followers na patiently naghintay for this moment to arrive.”
