MANILA, Philippines — Kris Aquino is staying strong as she turns 52 today.
She posted her signature lengthy Instagram updates today as she recuperates from her illness in the United States.
"I promised myself after reading my latest results that had 1 unexpected & admittedly scary red flag (not autoimmune related) after iniyak ko na, TAMA NA. If ever that borderline number signals early detection, I am still blessed…IN FAITH I SURRENDER ALL to GOD…" Kris wrote.
She again thanked those who continue to pray for her and added that if her case would need aggressive treatment, she still hopes for the best outcome.
"To all, a #lovelovelove day ahead of you, from the very thankful soon to be 52 year old birthday girl," she ended her post.
Apart from Kris, her once TV daughter, Heart Evangelista, also celebrates her birthday today. Heart turned 38. They starred in the 2008 drama "Hiram" where they played mother and daughter.
Former Senator Juan Ponce Enrile also celebrates his 99th birthday today.
