MANILA, Philippines - Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan has denied rumors his wife, Megastar Sharon Cuneta, "secretly" went to United States to seek medical help.

In a text message sent to abs-cbnNEWS.com, the senator said he was with his wife and children in the US, but not for medical reasons. He said they had to fly back early in Manila for his work.

"No. It's not true. I was there with her and the kids but had to fly back earlier because of work in the Senate. Not true at all," he said.

Reports surfaced last year that the megastar was suffering from breast cancer. Last October, Cuneta disclosed on "The Buzz," that three lumps found in her breast were benign. 

Meanwhile, Cuneta, who loves to travel, is documenting all her trips in her magazine "Sharon At Home."

In the April-June 2010 edition of the magazine, Cuneta shared some memorable photos of her trips abroad with her husband and her daughters -- KC, Miel and Frankie.
