Close family sources revealed that Kris’s condition suddenly deteriorated, prompting doctors to perform a series of urgent procedures. According to one insider, the moment Josh and Bimby were informed, they both broke down uncontrollably.

A family friend shared, “It was heartbreaking. Josh kept asking if his mama would be okay, and Bimby just hugged his brother, both of them crying. They’re trying to stay strong, but you can see they’re scared.”

Kris Aquino has long been public about her health struggles. Her transparency has earned her both admiration and deep concern from her fans, many of whom have followed her journey closely on social media. In her last video update, she looked frail but optimistic, expressing hope that her condition was stabilizing.

However, it appears that her health has taken a difficult turn.

In a written statement released by the family’s representative, it was confirmed that Kris is “currently under intensive care and is being monitored closely by a team of specialists.” The statement also requested privacy during this sensitive time and thanked the public for their continued support.

As news broke, supporters flooded social media with messages of love and prayers for Kris. Hashtags like #PrayForKris and #StayStrongBimby trended within hours across the Philippines and among Filipino communities worldwide.

Netizens were particularly moved by a photo circulating online, allegedly showing Bimby holding Josh’s hand as they sat quietly outside the hospital room. “That image says everything—how deep their bond is, and how much they love their mom,” one comment read.

Celebrity friends also took to social media to express their support. Vice Ganda tweeted, “We love you, Kris. The whole country is praying for your healing.” Meanwhile, Kim Chiu and Boy Abunda posted emotional messages recalling their fond memories with the media icon.

Despite the tragic mood, sources close to the Aquino family remain hopeful. “Kris is a fighter,” one relative said. “She’s been through so much and always comes out stronger. We believe she’ll make it through this too.”

Meanwhile, Josh and Bimby are said to be staying at a nearby residence with their relatives, under the care of trusted family members. Both are reportedly refusing to leave the hospital area for long, wishing to be near their mother at all times.

Fans gathered outside the hospital in California, holding candles and placards with messages of hope. Some were seen praying in groups, offering rosaries and novenas for Kris’s recovery.
