Queen of All Media Kris Aquino shared an emotional moment with her youngest son James "Bimby" Aquino Yap Jr. as he went back to the Philippines to be with the rest of their family. On her recent [Instagram post](https://www.instagram.com/p/CtQxareuJqs/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==), Kris shared a series of photos of her embracing and sending off Bimby at the Tom Bradley International Terminal in Los Angeles.
Kris said in her post why she chose to encourage her son to go back to the Philippines while she stayed in the United States to complete her medical treatment. "Tuesdays are my immunosuppressant/chemotherapy day. He left to fly home on Wednesday - I only have until the end of June until I need to lessen my activities in high-density places because by then my immunity will be too weak to fight any infection. "Bimb & i discussed it, nakikita ko yung stress & anxiety my bunso was feeling. "He’s had to grow up so fast because he needed to learn to be responsible in helping taking care of me; kawawa kasi nakikita nya the many new physical physical manifestations because from 3 when we came to the [US] a year ago, naging 5 na yung diagnosed autoimmune conditions ko. She also mentioned that Bimby deserves to have a fulfilling 16-year-old experience while taking his time with his extended family in the Philippines. "As his mama i felt for a few months he deserves to enjoy being 16. I knew after a year bimb was longing to be with his various titas (my sisters, cousins, and friends); titos (my brothers in law, cousins in law and the husbands of my friends); his many cousins & the kids of my friends,'' she added. The post also includes a video of Bimby surprising his brother Josh when he arrived at their house. At the end of her post, the Queen of all media expressed all her to her two sons and promised them that she will undergo all the treatments to make her recovery faster. ''I love you w/ my whole heart, kuya & bimb. Mama promised she’ll go through all treatments so i’ll be around, God willing, while you both still need me. 💛💛💛'' she wrote. Angeline Quinto, Carla Abellana, Melai Cantiveros-Francisco, Erik Santos, Donita Palad, and Kris' rumored boyfriend, Batangas Vice Governor Mark Leviste, were among those who expressed their support.
