Kris Aquino is firm on keeping her privacy and her current whereabouts a secret, according to her close friend, Dindo Balares, that he even had to sign a non-disclosure agreement to ensure his compliance.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, June 7, Balares said he recently visited Aquino in her new beachfront abode, the location of which could not be disclosed so as to prevent prying eyes from disturbing her peace and quiet as she lives with her autoimmune diseases.
It was Balares who previously revealed Aquino’s decision to settle near the beach for the meantime. He also appealed to the public to stop from spreading fake news about her condition.
“Sorry for those who are asking where I’ve been with Kris Aquino. We have an NDA, and I feel guilty whenever I am not able to answer their question, including personal ones,” he said as he appealed for the public’s understanding.
He said that he was merely trying to rein in his wayward tongue, which Aquino had supposedly warned him about.
“I appeal for your understanding because she might reprimand me for being too talkative sometimes. Well, not sometimes, all the time. I’m sure you know why there’s no need to reveal her location,” he said.
Touching on his friendship with Aquino, the writer-editor said he admires the Queen of All Media’s inner strength in overcoming her illness.
Balares likewise assured his followers that Aquino is currently living a peaceful life and that he would share glimpses of their conversations from time to time.
“Krissy is happy living by the beach with fresh food. This is one of the most important things in her life at the moment. I can assure you, I will sometimes write about our conversations. It will be sad, but many of them are inspiring, cheerful, and funny as well,” he said.
Aquino earlier revealed she already has nine autoimmune disorders, shortly after returning to the Philippines from California in the United Stated where she lived for more than two years while seeking treatment. /edv
