Manila, Philippines — It’s the most emotional revelation yet from the ailing Queen of All Media.
In a letter recently leaked by a close family friend — now confirmed as part of Kris Aquino’s last will and testament — the iconic actress and TV host bares her heart for one person who means everything to her: her son, Bimby.
As Kris continues to battle a rare autoimmune disease overseas, many fans have followed her journey with both hope and heartbreak. But this… this was different.
This was a mother’s final love letter.
The Letter That Broke the Internet
The emotional document, written in Kris’ own handwriting, begins with a line that has now gone viral:
“If tomorrow doesn’t come for me, please take care of my son the way I would have — with fierce love, with prayers, with protection.”
Sources say the letter was written during one of Kris’ most critical health episodes, when her doctors told her she was “not guaranteed another day.”
It was intended to be read only “in the event that I don’t survive,” but after Bimby himself reportedly gave permission, excerpts from the testament have now made their way to the public — sending waves of emotion across Filipino social media.
Her Message to Bimby: “You Were My Mission”
In the letter, Kris thanks her son for being her source of strength, her reason to fight, and her greatest achievement.
“Bimby, you were my mission on earth. You are the best part of me… I gave you my laughter, my courage, my name — but most of all, my heart.”
She then offers advice for his future:
“Marry late. Love smart. Choose someone who loves you not for your last name but for your soul.”
“Don’t let politics or fame consume you — walk with humility, speak with purpose.”
“Don’t look for me in crowds. I’ll always be beside you when you pray.”
Regrets and Hopes
Kris also admits in the letter that she has many regrets, especially about not giving Bimby a “normal, quiet life.”
“I wish I had shielded you more. I wish I had loved myself enough to stay healthy for you. But please know, anak, I tried.”
But she ends that part of the letter with a hopeful message:
“You have your Dad’s height and strength — and my fire. That’s a dangerous kind of greatness, if you use it right.”
A Mother’s Final Wishes
Aside from emotional messages, the will also outlines clear instructions:
Bimby will inherit 100% of Kris’ personal estate, including real properties, savings, and intellectual properties tied to her media legacy.
She requests a foundation be created in her name, focused on autoimmune disease awareness and education.
She asks that “no extravagant funeral” be held — only a private Mass with family and staff who truly loved her.
And one final wish that made fans weep:
“Please play ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’ — because that’s what he was to me.”
Public Reaction: “We’re Crying with You, Kris.”
As snippets from the will spread online, thousands flooded social media with tributes:
“This isn’t just a will. This is the soul of a mother.” – @PinayHeart
“Bimby, your mom is one of the strongest Filipinas ever. Carry her legacy.” – @MahalKaNiKris
“We cried like she was family. Because for 3 decades, she was.” – @KrisFanSince1995
Hashtags like #KrisFinalWish, #ForBimby, and #KrisAquinoLegacy topped local trends.
Even celebrities and politicians paid tribute. Vice Ganda wrote: “Ate Kris, salamat sa pagmamahal, sa katapangan, sa lahat. Hindi ka pa rin namin kayang palayain.”
A Legacy That Won’t Die
Kris Aquino may have spent her life in the public eye — controversial, adored, criticized, celebrated — but in the end, her most powerful moment may have come in silence.
A handwritten letter. A son’s blessing. A nation in mourning.
And as the final line of her testament reads:
“If this is goodbye, let it be full of love. No fear. No regrets. Just love.”
