Actress and TV host Kris Aquino is celebrating her 40th birthday, which falls on February 14, through a medical mission in 3 different places.
The presidential sister said she has kicked off her birthday through a medical mission and toy distribution in Tarlac, her hometown.
In an interview for TV Patrol Sabado, the Queen of All Media stressed that she wanted to share her many life blessings. More than a thousand Tarlaquenos flocked to see her.
Kris says, she particularly chose free cervical cancer and flu vaccination among many others for her medical mission."Vaccination is so important because primary health care pero mahal so kung makahanap ako ng sponsor, bonggang bongga at nakahanap nga ako!"
The medical mission in Tarlac is just the first in a series that Kris is doing. "This is my first (birthday celebration), second ko sa Sunday, sa Leyte (where I will have the) same as what i did here in Tarlac. Then my last is on Feb. 24 with Governor Vilma Santos in Lemery, Batanggas."
Politics
She shrugged off allegations that she is doing these medical missions as part of her plan to run in the coming elections.
"Marami pa akong kailangan tapusin para sa mga anak ko. Ayoko ever ma-accuse na ginamit ko kung ano mang posisyon para sa kaginhawahan ng pamilya ko.
Yet, she did not close her doors to a possible political career: "If ever that time will come, it will be after my brother's presidency."
Birthday wish
Kris also revealed her birthday wish: "I want freedom (annulment of marriage with cager James Yap). Gusto ko na legally matapos na para maging malaya na kami ni James (at) makahanap ng kaligayahan na hindi namin nabigay sa isa't isa."
She said she did not invite James to her birthday events to avoid an "awkward situation" and because "hindi rin nya ako in-invite sa birthday nya."
Kris shared that she had an intimate birthday dinner and mass on Saturday in her home with family members and select friends from the show business and politics.
As to whether she invited someone special for her birthday celebration, Kris didn't give details but hinted that there is someone special. "Inuunahan ko na, kung sino ang mapapanood niyo na kasabay namin nagdarasal, gusto nila makadasal family ko. please kung ano yung mga litratrato sa mass ko huwag niyo lagyan ng malisya baka hindi na siya makipagdasal sa akin."
Kris said that her brother, President Benigno Aquino III was there. However, he had no date "because napaso na siya sa mga events ko noon."
Kris also revealed what she got for herself for her birthday. "I'm turning 40 on Monday, I dont need jewelry (or) expensive bags, but it's nice to have properties."
She said these properties are not for her. "Para sa mga anak ko, para pag hindi na ako nagtratrabaho ng ganitong kasipag, may paparenta kami. It's an investment for the future of my children."
On Monday, her new game show, The Price is Right, will debut on the Kapamilya network.
