Following recent events in her family, Kris Aquino said that she's ready to face the camera again.
"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," said Kris on Instagram on Aug. 5.
She added: 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."
Kris admits that she's still grieving the death of her brother, former President Noynoy Aquino. But she is thankful for her friend Willie Revillame, host of the popular game show "Wowowin: Tutok to Win," who convinced GMA to give her a chance to co-host with him.
Willie and Kris will host a special show for Shopee dubbed "8.8 Mega Flash Sale TV Special" on GMA on Sunday, Aug. 8, at 10 a.m.
Her full post on Instagram:
"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…
"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! 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.
"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."
