IN PHOTOS: What the stars are up to for Holy Week 2017

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – Filipino Catholics once again commemorate the passion and death of Jesus Christ this Holy Week. For many, including our favorite celebrities, it is also a time to rest and be with loved ones.

Kris Aquino flew to the Maldives with son Bimby. She recently made a comeback on the small screen for her TV special Trip Ni Kris.

Na shock my Ate- because I ventured outside before sunset  We had a good buffet breakfast & now I’m back in the room being a nerd & about to start reading again… if you used to watch Kris Tv, you might remember that visiting here was part of my travel #bucketlist. This 2017, I fulfilled my wish to go to Padre Pio for a pilgrimage in San Giovanni, we’re now in the Maldives, and the last in my list is to walk in the lavender fields of Hokkaido (I researched & it’s normally in July.) P.S. #nofilter #crystalclearwaters
