According to Abunda, Kris asked him for something that was “deeply personal and emotionally heavy.” While he chose not to disclose the specific details of her request out of respect for her privacy, Abunda hinted that it involved her children and her legacy.

“I tried to keep myself composed, but I couldn’t hold back the tears,” Abunda said. “It was a request only a true friend could make. And it came from someone who knows her time may be limited.”

Kris Aquino, often referred to as the “Queen of All Media,” has been away from the public eye for some time now, focusing on her health. She has been undergoing treatment abroad for her autoimmune conditions, including Churg-Strauss syndrome and lupus-like symptoms.

In their emotional exchange, Kris reportedly expressed her fears, her hopes, and her deep concern for her two sons, Joshua and Bimby. Her request, Abunda said, was a reflection of her enduring strength as a mother despite her declining health.

“I have never seen Kris this vulnerable,” Boy admitted. “She was always strong, always full of energy. But now, I see someone who’s preparing, who’s thinking ahead.”

Abunda’s voice cracked as he recalled the moment Kris held his hand and made her request. “It wasn’t just words—it was her heart talking,” he said.

Fans online have expressed their support and prayers for Kris, while also praising Abunda for his loyalty and friendship. The two media personalities have stood by each other through personal losses, political controversies, and public criticisms.
