Inspirasyon ang dala ng Kapuso beauty queen-actress na si Michelle Dee (MMD) sa mga housemates matapos niyang pumasok bilang house guest sa Bahay ni Kuya.

Isa sa mga naging highlight ng kanyang pagpasok ay ang pagsisimula ng task na konektado sa pagpapakatotoo ng housemates. 

Dito ay nagkaroon ng pagkakataon si Klarisse De Guzman na ilahad na siya ay parte ng LGBTQA+ community.

“‘Di na ako takot, wala na akong kinatatakutan. Ang saya lang po sa pakiramdam magpakatotoo,” pahayag ni Klarisse.

Naibahagi naman ni Michelle kay Kuya kung gaano siya naging proud sa ginawang pag-o-open up ni Klarisse.

“Napagdaanan ko rin po ‘yun, ang hirap ding magpakatotoo nang ganu’n dahil sa industriya kung nasaan tayo,” sey ni Michelle.

Samantala, pumasok na rin ang dalawa pang housemates na sina Emilio Daez at Vince Maristela. Ano kaya ang kuwento ng kanilang buhay at paano sila makikisama sa loob ng Bahay ni Kuya?

Abangan naman ngayong weekend ang mga susunod na nominado para sa linggong ito. Napapanood ang Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Celebrity Collab Edition 10:00 PM Mon-Fri at 6:15 PM Sat-Sun sa GMA Prime.

Kalusugan, dahil palala nang palala… PRAMIS NI KRIS, BF NA DOKTOR, LAST NA TALAGA!

Aminado si Kris Aquino na hindi fair para sa bunsong anak na si Bimby na lagi itong nasa tabi niya para tingnan siya at alagaan. Of course, she knows that her son needs to live a life of his own at excited na nga raw siya na ma-meet ang first girlfriend nito if ever.

“Bimb’s got me, but it's not fair to expect him to always be by my side. I’m excited to meet whoever his first girlfriend will be, there’s someone I really like for him—but when you push too much it's already meddling,” pahayag ni Kris sa kanyang latest Instagram (IG) post.

Sinabi rin ng Queen of All Media ang mga katangian ng babaeng gusto niyang makatuluyan ni Bimby.

“I am praying he will end up with someone smart, articulate, kind hearted, pretty, loving, with a mom I’ll get along with, and most of all, someone who will love my son equal to the love she has for herself,” ani Kris.

Paliwanag niya, “Why did I say that? Because I’ve experienced seeing myself through another’s eyes, and that woman wasn’t me. I’ve always been self-assured, but illnesses with minimum options to go into remission, I started losing my confidence.”

Ipinagtapat din niyang naging sobrang dependent siya sa kanyang ex-boyfriend na si Dr. Mike Padlan at inamin na naniniwala naman siyang minahal nila ang isa’t isa.

“And I became very dependent on a man who already had too much and too many people to take care of. I would prefer to believe we really did love each other,” sey niya.

Diretso ring sinabi ni Krisy na dahil sa paglala ng estado ng kalusugan niya ngayon, tanggap na niyang ang ex-boyfriend na ang huli niyang pag-ibig.

“I’m realistic enough to accept that with the rate of my health deteriorating, that relationship with Doc Mike was my last chance to love,” aniya.

Sa naturang post ay sinabi rin ni Kris na mayroon siyang 9 autoimmune diseases at inisa-isa niya ang mga ito sa chronologically ordered list based on diagnosis and confirmation: Autoimmune Thyroiditis, Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria, EGPA (a life-threatening form of vasculitis), Systemic Sclerosis/Scleroderma, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Polymyositis, at Mixed Connective Tissue Disease.

Hiniling ni Kris sa mga netizens and her followers na sana ay huwag siyang sukuan dahil patuloy pa rin daw siyang lalaban. Positibo pa rin daw siya na makakabalik pa rin siya sa telebisyon someday.

“Please don’t give up? The odds are against my survival, but I have FAITH in the power of PRAYER. Jesus healed so many. Autoimmune has NO CURE. But I still believe the Holy Spirit will guide my doctors. And I don’t break my promises, I said I'd return for you to watch me,” sey niya.

Hiling din niya na maging malakas pa siya on Mother’s Day at nang sa gayon ay masayang makapagpasalamat sa kanyang mga prayer warriors.

“I am hoping to be strong enough before Mother's Day. I will be so happy thanking all of you for being #TeamKris. For kuya & bimb, for those who show genuine concern and continue praying, I promise #bawalsumuko #tuloyanglaban,” pagtatapos ni Krissy.

Kahit niresbakan ng anak… KRIS, TODO-DIIN NA ‘DI NAGSINUNGALING SA MGA IBINULGAR SA EX NA DOKTOR

Pinaninindigan ni Kris Aquino na hindi siya nagsisinungaling sa kanyang huling post tungkol sa breakup nila ni Dr. Mike Padlan bilang sagot sa mga naging pahayag ng anak ng doktor na si Miguel Lorenzo Padlan.

Sa kanyang Instagram post kahapon ay inilahad ng Queen of All Media ang kanyang panig sa mga sinabi ng anak ni Dr. Padlan, although inamin naman niyang galit siya sa kanyang huling post.

“I DO NOT LIE. My last post was written by a still angry ex-girlfriend who had felt, that even for her health care, she was unimportant and not a priority,” ani Kris.

“I did pay for his services as a travel doctor. This was in May 2022. Dr. Mike Padlan wasn't the doctor who accompanied me on the flight to Houston. Yet I didn’t ask for a refund,” patuloy niya.

Inamin din niyang nagkamali siya nang hindi niya sinabi sa unang post na nagtungo si Dr. Padlan sa LA nang mahigit 4 na beses just to check on her at wala raw itong bayad dahil kusang-loob ito ng doktor.

“My mistake is that I failed to state that he flew to LA around 4X more on his own volition- I didn’t ask for him to check on me, I would just be surprised that he'd be there. Those visits weren't paid for, nag-abono pa nga siya. Doc Mike, I APOLOGIZE for NOT STATING THIS IN MY EARLIER POST,” sey pa ni Kris.

In-acknowledge rin niya na si Dr. Padlan ang naka-diagnose na may shingles siya.

“I am very grateful he was the one who diagnosed my Shingles. Shingles together with what was then 4 diagnosed autoimmune diseases and another 1 clearly exhibiting symptoms but still negative in my tests + a patient allergic to all fever reducers including paracetamol, NSAIDS, Opioids, and Steroids makes it very difficult for even the best doctors in the Philippines, Singapore, and the US to treat me for all that ails me,” aniya.

Ayon pa kay Tetay, nagsimula ang friendship nila ni Dr. Padlan in 2024 at kahit hiwalay na sila ngayon ay gusto niyang panatilihin sa kanyang alaala ang maganda nilang pinagsamahan.

“After a breakup, you do get a choice- what memories you will decide to keep. There’s already so much fear and loneliness in life- so I choose to keep the seemingly ordinary yet undeniably, happy moments,” ani Kris.

Inalala rin niya ang isang panahon na gumising siya isang umaga at nakita ang mukha ng doktor sa tabi niya na super-worried.

“I was sleeping soundly, still very weak when I opened my eyes, it was the face of Doc Mike I saw, worried and concerned- Bimb had gone out and my nurse on duty was taking a break. For the first time in years, seeing a man, a DOCTOR watching over me, I FELT SAFE,” kuwento ni Kris.

“Ours was a different kind of courtship. Long Distance Relationship via WhatsApp, we were in Orange County, California so technically he was no longer a doctor.

“In him, I saw what I had been looking for- someone I could discuss my medical issues with- my feeling of fatigue, my lack of balance, my suffering from suddenly getting dizzy then collapsing, the significance of my blood draw results, especially my alarmingly low hemoglobin, the bones jutting out of my knee, and why had my taste buds changed,” paglalarawan ni Kris sa kanilang relasyon.

Ibinahagi rin niya ang kanyang closeness sa mga kapatid ng ex-BF.

“Doc Mike’s siblings live in the Bay Area, his younger sister came to visit together with ‘Pokémon’ (I’m not allowed to mention their names) who was so adorable. Doc Mike left when my 2 sons arrived. Kuya had a new playmate, and Bimb got to experience ‘dad duties,’” aniya.

Inalala rin ni Kris ang mga masasayang pinagsamahan nila ni Mike. 

Aniya, “My other (favorite) moments: Doc Mike cooking bulalo for us (the best I’ve tasted); seeing him slicing beef perfectly (he's a surgeon after all); and me giving an impromptu cooking class, on how to make Filipino style spaghetti with Doc Mike saying ‘tama ang balita, masarap nga ang spaghetti by Kris Aquino.’”

Kasunod nito ay ikinuwento na ni Kris kung paano nagsimula ang problema sa pagitan nila ni Mike.

“What really went wrong- many things. I honestly believed that finally- I was going to have my HAPPILY EVER AFTER. I expected too much... as my autoimmune diseases multiplied, the more he retreated.

“After a very stressful time when we returned home, I forgave and I fought hard for our relationship, while he couldn't forget and gave up on us. Nobody should be blamed, I'm not ashamed to admit, I was the one who loved and needed more,” pagbabahagi ni Tetay.

Naikuwento rin niya ang pagkakaroon ng financial problems ni Dr. Mike, pati na ang mga perang nai-transfer niya sa pangalan ng doktor.

“Doc Mike did have financial problems last year, but it's unjust to blame that on me. I am also not in a position to say why these hardships occurred- I only hope that those who love and wish to defend him realize this valid point, when a man needs help- what man would want a handout from his sick girlfriend? He was distraught, from what I know August when he and 'Pokémon' flew home, his asthma and flu were ferocious. I offered my help and he thanked me.

“When making a bank to bank fund transfer you are required to say for what purpose. To set the record, straight from August 21 to August 28, 2024 Alvin upon my instructions, had funds transferred to Doc Mike's personal account from 3 of the banks we have placements in,” lahad ni Kris.

Nabanggit din niya na ang ibang naipadala niyang pera sa boyfriend ay galing sa joint account nila ni Bimby.

“Thank God I was wise enough to get him peso & dollar educational plans- the pay outs of those plans would be parked in our joint UnionBank account. I asked Bimb’s permission before Alvin made the online fund transfers Bimb did not hesitate- he said ‘SURE Mama, it's good we can help.’

“He turns 18 on April 19, my baby will be an adult. Yet even now, more often he is much more optimistic and level-headed than me,” pahayag ng dating TV host.

Nais ding ipaalam ni Kris sa kanyang mga followers kung ano’ng sakit at hirap ang tinitiis niya dahil sa kanyang sakit.

“You need to see and read what I am enduring. Some have told me don’t post pictures, you’re making your followers sad. It's my life, and you should see the struggle for you to appreciate the inner strength I have because of your compassion #tuloyanglaban regardless how exhausting and slow the process is.

“We all go through difficult times... there are days I confessed to my Ate that the deep bone pain, the feeling I am burning from the inside outwards, when it's so difficult to find a position that's okay for my lower back where the bones jut out veering to the left, my ECG saw nothing wrong with my heart (as always THANK YOU to my cousin in law, cardiologist Dr. Nick Cruz),” paglalahad ni Tetay.

Ibinahagi rin niya na 9 na ang kanyang autoimmune disorders ngayon kaya naiintindihan din niya kung nag-give up sa kanya si Mike.

“I now have 9 autoimmune disorders- for anybody, even a doctor, a very sick partner requires much sacrifice and understanding.

Habang isinusulat nga raw niya ang post na ito ay kasalukuyan siyang nilalagnat.

“Before and while writing this, I still have fever, it’s expected to happen often since I've been diagnosed with Progressive Systemic Sclerosis aka Scleroderma, LUPUS, Polymyositis, and mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD)... my on & off low grade (37.8 to 38.6) fever refuses to leave; it's been overstaying for more than 2 weeks now,” sey niya.

Sa huli ay nagbigay ng update si Kris na okay na sila ni Dr. Mike bilang magkaibigan.

“An update: Doc Mike & I tried to give PEACE personal effort. In large part I believe because of his Ate Judith, a genuinely kind, fair-minded, God-fearing woman and his youngest sister, his favorite-Leah... he brought home my favorite organic "For Growing Kids milk,” Velveeta cheese slices, naiwan my Nesquik Ready to Drink high protein strawberry milk, BUT my children's chewable medicine nauwi - the dosage recommended for me- lahat nasundo nung Friday and I am very thankful Horizon organic milk mixed with Ensure Gold RTD vanilla flavor is something I do my best to drink 2X a day,” kuwento niya.

Paglilinaw pa ni Kris, “Please notice- I spoke only for myself, I cannot speak for Doc Mike. BUT I do accept and understand that I loved him much more than he was capable of loving me.”

Kasunod nito ay nagbigay siya ng mensahe sa anak ni Dr. Mike.

“Miguel, when I read what you wrote, instantly I reminded myself dapat hindi pumatol ang nanay sa anak. Freedom of Speech should be upheld in a true DEMOCRACY. I only defended my factual truth, because right now for me it matters. And I refuse for my dad & mom plus my brother in heaven to be discussing: ‘What happened to Kristina? She was accused of lying at pinabayaan na lang nya? Where’s the girl who always fought in the name of honor?

“I took the time to respond to your statements directly. Umasa pa rin ako that you didn't know everything. So your statements came from not having seen the entire picture. I have receipts BUT why will I, in proving your allegations wrong, make people see who really is telling the truth. I did promise to be Mama Kris come what may,” ang paliwanag ni Tetay kay Mike.
