Veteran journalist Dindo Balares clarified the misleading news circulating online claiming that Kris Aquino is now “cancer-free.” In his Instagram post titled “LOVE NOURISHES AND HEALS,” Balares set the record straight, stating that Kris never had cancer in the first place.

According to Balares, Kris has long been open about her autoimmune diseases, but cancer has never been part of her medical condition. He emphasized that the viral posts saying she is now free from cancer are false and only misinform the public.
Balares shared a recent photo of Kris taken by their friend Ms. Jing three weeks ago at a private resort. He confirmed the authenticity of the photo, denying allegations that it was photoshopped to improve Kris’ appearance.

In his post, Balares detailed Kris Aquino’s daily struggles, revealing that simple activities like getting up, walking, and going to the bathroom remain extremely challenging for her due to her illness.
“Maraming beses na siyang bumagsak sa sahig at sa loob ng banyo,” Balares wrote, adding that Kris often thinks she is strong enough only to end up collapsing.
Despite her difficulties, positive signs of recovery are starting to appear. Kris has gained weight from her lowest of 82 pounds in January to 112 pounds now. Although her arms and parts of her legs remain thin, Balares considers this progress significant.
He also noted that there is visible regeneration in Kris’ skin, which may indicate internal healing. Balares shared that Kris’ temporary move away from the city to live by the sea has helped her breathe fresher air, a small but important step in her recovery journey.
“Bagama’t mabagal ang resulta, mahalaga ang bawat hakbang na kanyang tinatahak,” Balares concluded, expressing optimism for Kris’ continued healing.
