A photograph of Kris Aquino taken in 2019 went viral and was mistaken for an update regarding her present health condition.
On October 6, via Instagram, Dindo Balares clarified that the viral image of Aquino circulating online was taken three years ago.
“2019 PA PO ANG PHOTO. Dagsa ang messages na nagtatanong tungkol sa picture ni Kris Aquino na ikinatutuwa ng kanyang followers.
“May updates at may ipinadalang photos sa akin si Kris kamakailan, kaya nang makita ko ang litrato na sinasabing mula raw sa latest post niya, agad kong nasagot na, ‘not true.’ January 9, 2019 pa po kinunan ang said picture.
“Tuloy ang pagpapagamot ni Kris sa kanyang mga karamdaman. Tulad ng karamihan sa atin, may feeling din siya na may malaking binago sa kalusugan ng mundo ang covid,” he stated.

As Aquino battling her autoimmune disease–she’s thankful for prayers from friends and supporters.
“Bagamat nahihirapan, may mga bagay pa ring dapat ipagdiwang at ipagpasalamat, ayon na rin sa huling chat namin.
“The loyalty & genuine love of people like you and the prayers, generosity, and kindness of people I’ve never even met- super blessed na ‘ko,” Aquino told Balares.
“Touched na touched si Kris sa prayers for healing ng kanyang mga kaibigan at followers. Pinalalakas at pinatatapang siya ng kanyang well-wishers,” Balares added.
Aquino revealed her dream of her son Bimby getting a degree.
“Mahaba pa ang laban- my goal is to see Bimb graduating from an Ivy League School here or UP, UST, or Ateneo Med School,” Balares recalled Aquino’s words.
