“She’s looking good.”
Filipinos expressed delight over a video of Kris Aquino being prepared by makeup artists before heading out, in which she looked visibly healthier.
Makeup artist Jonathan Velasco posted a video of himself and his colleague, RB Chanco, styling the “Queen of All Media” before she meet with friends, including show writer and producer Darla Sauler and actor Dingdong Dantes.
“The A-Team behind the Queen of All Media,” he wrote in a social media post on Monday, March 23, calling Kris his “muse.”

The video featured Kris being styled while an IV (intravenous) drip could be seen beside her.
Many Filipinos noticed how her physique has changed, from being rail-thin to having a fuller frame.
In the past, Kris was significantly thin, with visible bone protrusions, as she dealt with various autoimmune conditions.
Her transformation to a healthier weight delighted Filipinos, who shared their reactions in the comments section.
“She’s looking good, I miss her Feng Shui screaaaam,” an online user wrote, referring to “Feng Shui,” a blockbuster horror film starring Kris.
“Buti naman nag-gain na siya ng weight… sana tuloy tuloy na ang paggaling ni Ms. Kris, nakaka-miss na ang Kris TV,” another wrote.
“Goods ‘yan, malakas na si Ms. Kris,” a different Pinoy said.
“Happy to see her in better condition,” another wrote.
“Wowww, saya tingnan na naka-recover na si Kris,” another Pinoy commented.
Kris was later seen in the video spending time with her son Bimby, along with Dingdong and Darla.
The actress-host had previously attended a birthday lunch at Malacañang Palace, hosted by First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos and organized by fashion designer Michael Leyva, a mutual friend of both women.
Kris is battling several autoimmune diseases, which make her health condition fragile. These include rheumatoid arthritis, thyroiditis, chronic spontaneous urticaria, lupus (SLE), fibromyalgia, polymyositis, and mixed connective tissue disease.
An autoimmune condition occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, perceiving them as foreign invaders such as bacteria or viruses.
