television and movie personality who gained prominence from her talk show
s, game shows, and numerous endorsements. Known as the Queen of All Media and Philippines' Queen of Talk, she is the youngest daughter of former Philippine senator Benigno Aquino, Jr.
and Corazon Cojuangco-Aquino, who served as the 11th President of the Philippines
, and sister of Benigno Aquino, III, the current President of the Philippines
.
Her first movie was Pido Dida, Sabay Tayo, which was followed by films such as Feng Shui
and So... Happy Together. In 2006, she regained the same Box Office title for her movie Sukob
, which is the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time. She is also the Executive Editor of her own bi-monthly magazine called K! The Kris Aquino Magazine. In December 2009, Aquino showcased her own Home Collection called K Everyday. In partnership with ABS-CBN Licensing
, K Everyday features cooking collection, kitchen collection, plastic collection, and stationery collection.

and Benigno Aquino, Jr.
, senator
during the Ferdinand Marcos
regime. The youngest of five children, her siblings are Maria Elena "Ballsy" Aquino-Cruz, Aurora Corazon "Pinky" Aquino-Abellada, current Philippine president Benigno Simeon Aquino III
, and Victoria Eliza "Viel" Aquino-Dee. She is the cousin of actress and equestrienne Mikee Cojuangco and the niece of Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose "Peping" Cojuangco, Jr.
In the 1978 parliamentary elections
where her father was a candidate, the seven-year-old Aquino wooed the crowds as a stand-in for her imprisoned father at campaign rallies. The young campaigner was featured on the front page of New York Times and on Time Magazine. Aquino spent most of her elementary school days in the United States
when the Aquino family was in exile. At 12 years old her father died after he was assassinated on the tarmac of Manila Airport. Kris Aquino returned to the Philippines and was a precocious presence in rallies against the Marcos regime.
After the 1986 revolution
that removed President Ferdinand Marcos from power, the teenage Aquino stepped into the limelight, starting with guest spots on television dramas and comedies, as well as talk shows. Finally, she made her film debut with actor-comedian Rene Requiestas
in the comedy Pido Dida. This movie was a blockbuster hit and made Aquino the box office queen for that year.
Aquino afterwards had a commercially steady, though critically panned career and managed to score an acting nomination for The Fatima Buen Story. She is not a good speaker. She starred in a film based on a true-life murder, the Vizconde Massacre. Its financial success and successive crime films of the same vein in which she starred in gained her the nickname "Massacre Queen" by newspaper critics.
Aquino went to elementary school at Poveda Learning Centre, high school at the Colegio San Agustin-Makati where she was classmates with Pinky Webb
. She graduated college from Ateneo De Manila University
in 1992 with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in English and Literature.
With her movie career slowing, Aquino shifted her sights on a television career as a talk show host launched through Kris
produced by Viva Television
on Channel 4
(at that time named PTV, this was transferred to GMA Network
which has partnership with Viva and after Viva's contract with PTV ended). It was in GMA Network showbiz oriented talk show Startalk
where she co-hosted with Boy Abunda
and Lolit Solis that her hosting capabilities were noticed.
After her GMA and Viva no longer wanted her services, she went back to media conglomerate and GMA Network
's rival ABS-CBN which noticed her undeniable hosting wit, offered her a contract and launched Today with Kris Aquino
. In January 2003 to May 2004, she hosted the talk show Morning Girls with Kris and Korina
, alongside popular broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez
. It was intended for only two weeks but went on for 16 months. In 2007, she officially left The Buzz
and Pilipinas, Game KNB?
after giving birth to her second son, James. She was replaced by Edu Manzano
in Pilipinas, Game KNB?. According to her, she had to give up her hosting stint on the said shows to give more time to her baby. It was also assumed that she does not want to go back to The Buzz because she no longer wants to work with former co-host Cristy Fermin
.
In the October 2008 issue of YES! Magazine, Aquino was considered top or the leading celebrity endorser, ranking number one among the twenty popular celebrity endorsers.
Aquino is the executive editor of the K Magazine of ABS -CBN publishing. "Carrying Kris celebrity equity, "K" is about getting her style, her personality, her lifestyle and her appeal. The magazine reflects the key concerns of the target marget presented by Kris herself: beauty, fashion, body, relationships, career, money and self."
Aquino hosted the Philippine franchise
of Deal or No Deal
, which is part of ABS-CBN's primetime lineup. It ended its first season on February 23, 2007. The second season of the said game show started on June 11, 2007. On May 5, 2008, she appeared on the US version as part of a "Deal or No Deal
around the world" event, where host Howie Mandel
and an American contestant were taken to an international location, and played the game in that country, with the local models and host assisting Mandel. She also hosts Boy & Kris
, a morning talk show that replaced Homeboy, together with Boy Abunda
, and Be Bench/, a model search show together with Piolo Pascual
. Nestor Torre, a known critic of the Philippine Entertainment industry, pointed out that Aquino took a lot of risks when she chose to give up her two former shows. The critic pointed out that giving up The Buzz
and Pilipinas, Game KNB?
deprived her of the major exposure that those two popular shows afforded her. Torre also noted that it is much more difficult to successfully launch new shows than to resume hosting programs that are already popular.
She hosted another TV franchise Wheel of Fortune
, which incidentally replaced Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal
. She said in an interview that she was a huge fan of the U.S. version and was thrilled to bring the show back to her country. (Wheel of Fortune had already had one 2001-02 run in the Philippines, which was hosted by Rustom Padilla and Victoria Wonderheim.) She hosted Showbiz News Ngayon on its newest season. In October 2008 after former The Buzz co-host Cristy Fermin was suspended by ABS-CBN, the Kapamilya network asked Aquino to once again host the top-rated showbiz oriented talk show together with Boy Abunda and Ruffa Gutierrez. After much controversy, Aquino hosted The Buzz again starting on October 26, 2008.
Aquino officially left Showbiz News Ngayon on June 25, 2010 and The Buzz on June 27, 2010 after being an on and off main host of the show for ten years. The reason for her leaving the show is that she will be spending time with her family and for her not to cause any issues while her brother Benigno Aquino III
is in office as President of the Philippines. Despite her leave for her family, she hosted ABS-CBN's new noontime variety show called Pilipinas Win Na Win
but left after two months upon the decision of the management.
and earned her first box-office queen award. She later shifted into other roles, notably with massacre films such as The Vizconde Massacre, Myrna Diones Story, Elsa Castillo-Ang Katotohanan, and Humanda Ka Mayor. Despite her being a big draw in the box office, her acting skills were considered stiff and mechanical. She was dubbed then as "massacre queen" because of her portrayals in massacre movies which was the vogue during the time.
She first drew praise for her acting when she earned a nomination from the Gawad Urian award-giving body, composed of film critics, for the film The Fatima Buen Story. She eventually won a supporting actress award for the film Mano Po
(2002 Regal Films), where she portrayed a weak-willed and submissive scion of a wealthy Filipino-Chinese clan. This was her comeback movie after her long layoff from movie acting.
Aquino's most commercially-successful movies in her career are: Feng Shui
, a Star Cinema
production that featured Chinese influences and omen. Feng Shui, which was made during the wave of "Asian-style horror" flicks that spread throughout the continent after 2002's The Ring
, made P137 million. It was the highest grossing Filipino movie of 2004 (and the second most successful movie overall that year next to Spider-Man 2
which made over P225 million). "Sukob," another horror thriller which she starred with Claudine Barretto
in 2006, is the highest grossing Filipino film of all time surpassing Ang Tanging Ina
, Anak
& her own starrer, Feng Shui.
Aquino had her share of box-office bombs. Her 2003 movie with actor Robin Padilla
, You and Me Against the World, flopped at the box-office right from the start. Made for P25,000,000 and released immediately after Aquino won acting awards (for her performance in 2002's Mano Po), You and Me Against the World made only P4,389,005. The film's producers lost an estimated P23,000,000, even with home videos accounted. Because You and Me Against the World failed to attract an audience, several movie theaters pulled the film out and replaced it with another film. Some theaters were reported to have done this on the movie's second day of play.
with whom she has a son named Joshua.
She was married to Philippine Basketball Association
professional player James Yap
of the Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants. They had a civil marriage on July 10, 2005. The following year, she announced on The Buzz
that she was pregnant. In April, 2007, Aquino gave birth to her first son by Yap in Makati City
. Her son with Yap was named James "Bimby" Aquino Yap. In 2006, a former medical clinic receptionist stated that James Yap had an extra-marital affair with her.
Aquino suffered a miscarriage with collapsed gestational sac and blighted ovum on March 25, 2008, a day after she announced that her mother was diagnosed with colon cancer.
On June 27, 2010, Kris Aquino announced that she had separated from Yap, citing personal reasons and stated she is seeking an annulment of their marriage. Aquino and Yap vowed to become good friends after their annulment.
