Kris Aquino Seen Dining w/ First Lady Liza Marcos
KRIS AQUINO – A rare and unexpected moment between Kris Aquino and First Lady Liza Marcos sent social media into a frenzy after a photo of them dining together went viral.
Social media is abuzz with a photo of the “Queen of All Media,” Kris Aquino, dining with First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos. The viral image was shared by Filipino businessman Ace Nava on Facebook last Friday, October 24, drawing wide attention from netizens.
In the post, Nava posed alongside Kris and Liza, with a caption that read, “For today — with The Aquino and The Marcos. Different colors, one good day.”
Many were quick to notice Kris Aquino’s apparent recovery and her “looking good” appearance, as she seemed to have gained some weight and exuded a fresh, glowing aura despite her ongoing health struggles.
Also spotted at the same table was Senator Chiz Escudero, husband of actress Heart Evangelista. The photo was reportedly taken during the birthday celebration of renowned Filipino fashion designer Michael Leyva.
The unexpected gathering sparked a wave of reactions online, particularly due to the public’s long-held perception of the Aquino and Marcos families as political rivals. One user commented, “When you realize they are actually relatives, yes, we’re living in a Game of Thrones-like country.”
Another netizen expressed admiration for Kris’s recovery, saying, “Good to see Ms. Kris recovering and looking good.”
Meanwhile, others pointed out the familial connection between the two prominent figures. “The Cojuangcos and the Aranetas are distant relatives,” a commenter noted, while another wrote, “Set aside political colors. Seeing Kris Aquino in this situation means she is somehow surviving what she is going through.”
For those unaware, Kris Aquino and First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos are indeed related by blood. The First Lady’s aunt, Don Pele’s wife, is the sister of former President Cory Aquino’s husband, making Kris and Liza distant relatives.
Despite the political history between their families, the viral photo showed a rare moment of unity and civility—something many netizens found refreshing in today’s often polarized climate.
