Television host and actress Kris Aquino said she expressed gratitude to actor Dingdong Dantes and indicated that they are preparing to work together on a project, according to an Instagram post she published on Saturday, April 18.
Aquino tagged Dantes in the post and referred to him as her “godson,” while she discussed a planned project with Dantes and an undisclosed production team. She also stated that she rescheduled a “final presentation” for the project.
Aquino said she postponed the meeting to attend an infusion session of Rituxan, which she described as a strong immunosuppressant used in her treatment for autoimmune diseases, and to spend time with her son, James Carlos “Bimby” Aquino Yap Jr., who turned 19 on April 19.
Aquino said she had already undergone a second cycle of treatment and reported “encouraging results.” She added that medical precautions were necessary for those she will work with on the project due to her condition.
Aquino and Dantes previously worked together in the 2011 Metro Manila Film Festival entry “Segunda Mano.” Aquino also served as a principal sponsor at Dantes’ wedding to actress Marian Rivera in 2014.
In the same post, Aquino also discussed her son’s birthday and described her approach to his personal life, including his relationships and career decisions. She said she encouraged him to make independent choices while continuing to support her.
Aquino has previously spoken publicly about her ongoing treatment for multiple autoimmune conditions and her relationship with her son, who has assisted her during periods of illness.
