Physician and adult rheumatologist Dr. Geraldine “Ging” Zamora shared a glimpse of Kris Aquino returning to work, expressing how happy and proud she was to accompany the Queen of All Media during her recent brand and endorsement shoots.
In her social media post, Dr. Ging shared how Kris, despite her conditions, is now much better to put her “game face on” doing shoots.
“I saw her get up from bed, get styled and made up. Then we—Bimb, her nurses, staff, other MDs, & I, in three separate vehicles—made our way to IKEA,” she wrote.
Dr. Ging also shared their conversation as Kris prepared to step in front of the camera once again.
“I sat between her and Michael in the car. She read messages and checked Shopee on her phone.😂 Conversation ranged from me asking if she was nervous (no, she wasn’t), to her wish to travel soon, to how proud she was of Bimb & his first solo endorsement as an adult. She asked me what PGH patients needed. ‘Kailangan ba nila ng Safeguard soap? Patient gowns?’ (Papunta kami sa work niya, pero iniisip pa rin niya kung paano makatulong.) When we arrived, we took a selfie in the car. Then I watched her put her game face on,” she added.
Dr. Ging also emphasized how Kris continuously worked hard even if it took time doing shoots and she experienced pain in her knees.
“The shoot ended around 4AM. She only paused once to sit down briefly. Meanwhile, kaming mga kasama niya were already sitting on the sides kasi pagod at antok na.😂”
She went on: “Pero si Ate Kris, tuloy-tuloy. Game na game siya, despite the pain in her knees. She really is a different person in front of the camera. It’s almost as if she forgets her illness and pain. Like, for those few hours, none of it exists. It’s kind of magic, tbh.”
After the shoot, Dr Ging also shared a conversation she had with Kris reflecting on her journey in returning back to work while dedicating Shaina Twain’s “You’re Still The One” song to Kris.
“After the shoot, we went back to her place. As we were about to part ways, we hugged, & I said, “I’m so proud of you, Ate Kris.”She answered, ‘Look how far we’ve come.’ And this is why I’ll never hear this song as a romantic love song again. It’s now my song for Ate K. For watching her try so hard to make it, over and over again, despite the odds. For her boys.💗,” she said.
Kris’s recent return to brand work has been met with excitement from her fans and supporters, following years away from the spotlight as she focused on her health.
She recently returned as an ambassador for an e-commerce platform and later appeared in an endorsement for a multinational furniture and home-furnishing company alongside Bimby.

Kris has also opened up about wanting to become more active in 2027, including a possible acting comeback through a micro-drama series.
In discussing her return to work, Kris shared how being active has positively affected her mood and, in her own observation, some aspects of her well-being.
“I noticed that when I am active, I am happy. And when I am happy, I notice health-wise my blood pressure is nicer. Even my skin, I noticed, is better. It really has a lot to do with your attitude,” she said.
