Graduating student na nabiktima ng lupus inalok ni Kris ng trabaho

KRIS AQUINO AT TRISHA DUNCAN

INALOK ng trabaho ng Queen of Social Media na si Kris Aquino ang isang graduating student na dalawang taong nakipaglaban sa sakit na lupus.

Sa ulat ng GMA News, humanga raw si Tetay sa tapang at katatagan ni Trisha Duncan, na kasalukuyan ngayong nag-aaral sa De La Salle University, Manila at kumukuha ng kursong AB Philippine Studies in Mass Media.

Isa rin siyang model at nagkakilala nga sila ni Kris sa event ng Ultherapy PH recently para sa launching ng “#BeYoutifulStory” kung saan isa ang dalaga sa mga ipinakilalang bagong ambassador.
Ayon kay Trisha, ang lupus ay isang auto-immune na sakit at may mild to life-threatening na mga sintomas. Kasama na sa mga nararanasan ng may lupus ang sakit, panghihina, kawalan ng pag-sa sa buhay, depresyon at takot.

Despite her illness, Trisha maintained a positive outlook and a healthy lifestyle. Sa panayam ni Kris sa dalaga, sinabi nitong nawalan talaga siya ng kumpiyansa sa sarili nang magsimula nang malagas ang kanyang buhok, bukod pa sa mga rashes sa katawan.

“There are times when my joints are aching and I can’t open my hands, I can’t say it’s depression but I was really depressed because I lost my hair,” aniya. Nagkaroon din daw siya ng aplastic anemia dahil sa lupus.

Sey naman sa kanya ni Kris, “Your positivity is really very inspiring. It’s not about vanity in your case and I think this is about empowerment. It’s taking back your life and saying that ‘No, life gave me this, life gave me these challenges but I’m going to rise above it. I think you are the perfect example of that. For someone so young to have that kind of confidence.”

Pagpapatuloy pa ni Trisha, “Right now, I want to graduate first, hopefully by June. And then right after, maybe I’ll work in corporations or I always wanted to be a flight attendant. I still don’t know, but if ever, I can settle for a job that won’t risk my health, or maybe write, because I have written articles for different publications before.”

Dito na siya inalok ng trabaho ni Tetay, “Just in case Trisha you’re interested, my company KCAP (Kris Cojuangco Aquino Productions), we’re expanding. Because right now you’re my managing partner, the offer stands, I like you already, you don’t have to go through that final interview.”

“If you’re ever interested to join our team come June, maybe you’ll take a break, after that, maybe September.

“You’re very much welcome to become a part of our family because I champion people who do not let setbacks get them down,” chika pa ni Kris.
