In a move that has stunned fans, critics, and even close friends, Queen of All Media Kris Aquino has revealed through her legal team that her ex-husband, veteran actor Philip Salvador, is one of the unexpected beneficiaries of her last will and testament—receiving a jaw-dropping ₱100 million.

The revelation broke out early this morning when a trusted legal representative of Aquino’s camp confirmed the authenticity of a confidential document leaked online. According to the document, Salvador’s name is listed among several heirs, including Kris’s children and long-time household staff—but his inclusion, and the staggering amount, has sent shockwaves across Philippine social media.

A History Rewritten?

Kris and Philip’s romantic history is no secret to the public. Their whirlwind relationship in the 90s led to the birth of their son, Josh Aquino Salvador, but ended in controversy and emotional fallout. For years, their ties remained civil at best—and icy at worst.

So why now? Why this generosity?

Sources close to Kris suggest that her recent health battles, particularly her well-documented autoimmune condition, may have softened her stance toward past relationships. “She’s been reflecting on life, love, and legacy,” said a family friend. “Kris has always been full of surprises—but this? This is on another level.”

Social Media Meltdown

Filipino netizens wasted no time taking sides.

“₱100M to an ex who barely raised Josh? Wild!” one Twitter user posted, racking up 75k likes.

Others applauded the gesture. “That’s growth. That’s grace. Kris is showing she’s above it all.”

Even celebrity talk show hosts were caught off guard. Boy Abunda, a long-time friend of Kris, responded live on air: “I’m speechless. I didn’t see this coming. But knowing Kris, there’s always a reason. Always a heart behind the headlines.”

No Comment from Philip

As of press time, Philip Salvador has yet to release an official statement. Reporters camped outside his Quezon City residence were met with silence, though neighbors confirmed seeing a flurry of activity inside the house.

Meanwhile, political insiders are speculating whether this sudden windfall could reignite Salvador’s dormant ambitions in public service. “₱100 million can fund more than a few campaigns,” one strategist noted slyly.

Josh Reacts

The one voice many were eager to hear? Josh Aquino Salvador.

In a rare Instagram Story, Josh posted a simple heart emoji followed by the words: “Mom is the strongest woman I know. I love you, always.”

It is unclear whether Josh was consulted about the decision, but his calm reaction has only added to the mystery of Kris’s motivations.

A Legacy Beyond the Spotlight

Legal analysts say the will, which reportedly includes other surprising bequests, reflects Kris Aquino’s desire to “close chapters with kindness and completeness.”

“She’s writing the final pages of her life with purpose,” said Atty. Mylene Ramos, a family law expert. “Including Philip Salvador might be controversial—but it’s clearly deliberate.”

What’s Next?

With more details expected to be released in the coming days, one thing is certain: Kris Aquino has once again captured the nation’s attention—not with a show, a scandal, or a speech, but with a signature act of grace and drama.

And in true Kris fashion, she’s left us all talking.
