Actress and television host Kris Aquino is open to becoming the next Department of Health (DOH) secretary and returning to television with longtime friend and co-host Boy Abunda, once her health improves.
Aquino shared that her ongoing battle with multiple autoimmune diseases has given her a deeper understanding of the country’s healthcare system and the changes needed to improve it.
Among her key concerns is the high cost of medicines, saying that reducing taxes on imported drugs could help make essential medications more affordable for Filipinos.
The veteran host remains under medical treatment as she continues to recover from her health conditions.
Aquino said she is open to entering public service, but acknowledged that she is not yet physically fit to take on such a demanding responsibility.
She also stressed the importance of having honest public servants, expressing confidence that the public knows she would never steal taxpayers’ money.
Meanwhile, Aquino’s possible return to television with Abunda remains something to look forward to as she continues to focus on her recovery.
