Jamess Yap, Not Ready to Fall In Love Again But Still Believes in Marriage

James Yap, the estranged hubby of the queen of Philippine media Kris Aquino attended the birthday party of the Regal matriarch Mother Lily Monteverde. His presence is very special for the birthday celebrator because according to Mother, she loves James Yap very much. Mother Lily requested James' Yap manager to invite him and be present on her birthday party. James Yap is very grateful for Mother Lily's love for him and even said yes when asked if she's willing to produce a movie for James Yap.

James revealed that his son is fast growing up and asks him tough questions like "Do you love my mama?" to which he would answer, "Of course, I love your mama". He said that he visits his son Bimby if time allows him to.

When asked if he's going out with Marie Digby, he replied that Marie is his friend and that she's a good girl. James said he's not yet ready to date again but still believes in marriage.

I hope James Yap will find a girl for himself who will stick with him forever because he deserves to be happy and so with his estranged wife, Kris Aquino.

Kris and James Meet in Court, Reach Compromise Agreement

I watched TV Patrol news last night and it was reported that Kris and James meet in court to agree on the petition of James Yap for his visitation rights to their 3-year old son Baby James.

They lasted for 3 hours and they reach a compromise agreement. James can visit his son for six hours every Wednesday and he can have Baby James in his place every Friday provided that the baby will be accompanied by two yayas and a bodyguard and it will only be within Metro Manila. James can't bring Baby James to his province in Escalante, Negros.

James right away went to fetch his son in Kris' place since it was a Friday yesterday. At least, the baby can grow up with the care of his two parents even if the two are already separated.

Kris Aquino Answers James' Mom

Kris Aquino appeared in a taped interview yesterday, obviously hurt by the statements of James Yap's mom. It can be remembered that Mrs. Annie Yap, James mom had a taped interview saying she does not approve Kris for James.

Kris said that she'll never talk anything derogatory to James because he is the father of her son. "Mapapanood po yun ng apo ninyo at some point in time kasi nasa internet na. Nanay niya po ako. Kahit anong gawin ninyo, lumbas siya sa sinapupunan ko. Ako po ang magpapalaki at magsisikap na maitaguyod si Baby James. Masakit po para sa akin na yung apo ninyo, sisiraan ang nanay niya sa kanya. Kasi magkahiwalay man kami ni James, kadugo nyo pa din po and anak ko, Kris Aquino said.

Magsakripisyo na ako, mananahimik na ako, Magpakumbaba na ako. Handa kong gawin yun dahil ganun ko kamahal ang anak ko. Sana kahit kunti po, bigyan niyo din ng pagmamahal ang anak ko, Kris adds.

Mother of James Yap Defends him

After so much brouhaha regarding the Kris Aquino-James Yap break-up, James' mom, Annie finally airs her side and speaks out. She appeared on Sunday in GMA's Showbiz Central, obviously hurting about the separation of her son B-Meg power player James Yap and TV host-actress Kris Aquino.

She said that Kris Aquino's comments on television brought so much pain to her and her family.“Ang lahat ng kasalanan binubunton niya (Kris) sa anak ko. Sana naman huwag naman kasi hindi naman tayo perfect, di ba? Ang Diyos lang ang perfect,” Mrs. Annie Yap told showbiz Central.“Kung may kasalanan ang anak ko, siguro natural naman sa mag-asawa ang mag-away. Pero huwag naman lahat ibunton sa anak ko. Malungkot talaga ako. Naa-awa ako sa anak ko,”


According to Kris Aquino, what triggered her decision to break up with James Yap was the ugly words James thrown to Kris in one of their arguments in front of their son Bimby.


Showbiz Central asked Mrs. Yap if James has the tendency to be verbally abusive when in a heated argument and she replied. “Hindi. Alam ko ang ugali ng anak ko. Alam ko talaga ang ugali ng anak ko. Mabait siya at di siya sumisigaw. Kahit umuwi siya rito, hindi siya ganoon,”


James Yap's mom also confirmed the rumor at the onset of Kris and James that the latter had impregnated a woman and that Kris Aquino knows it. James Yap chose to wed Kris Aquino over the girl he impregnated because James loves Kris Aquino.

James' mother revealed that she does not approve Kris for James.“Sa totoo lang, nagsasabi ako ng totoo kasi di ako plastic siyempre. Kasi sinabi niya sa akin ni James na sila na raw. Tapos okay daw ba ako? Sabi ko sa kanila, siyempre Kris Aquino, sabi ko, ‘No! Ayoko!,’ sabi ko sa kanya. ‘So bakit, Ma?’ sabi niya. Sabi ko, ‘Basta ayoko sa kanya,” Annie said.“Sa totoo lang, tutol talaga ako kasi alam mo naman si Kris, di ba? Pero sa huli, gusto ng anak ko. Wala kaming magawa, di ba?,” added Mrs. Annie Yap.

Despite James' mom disapproval for Kris, James tied the knot with Kris because he loved her. James mom told showbiz central that she was hurt because James did not inform her about their wedding.

“Nalungkot ako. Sa totoo lang, umiyak ako dahil sabi ko sa kanya nagulat ako kasi di ka nagpaalam sa amin. Pinaalam mo tapos na kayong kasal. Siyempre nagalit ako. Siyempre bilang nanay, ina niya ako tapos di niya (pinaalam) sa akin kaya nagalit ako. Hindi ako nakatulog. Umiyak ako hanggang umaga sa totoo lang.”

But what made it even more hurtful, Annie admitted, was that James married Kris. “Yun na yon,” Annie said. “Iba talaga kami. Mahirap lang kami. Sila mayaman. Tutol ako. Hindi naman ako tutol porke’t ganoon siya. Hindi, wala ako niyan. Sa buhay namin angat siya sa amin siyempre. Ayoko. Tutol ako ba.”

Annie's message to James is to focus his attention to his son.

It takes two to tango as it is said so in every break-up, there's always two people involved and you can't just throw all the blame to one person. Obviously, their marriage from the start is somehow bound to fail. Kris has a very domineering personality while James Yap seems to be the underdog. In marriage, it takes compromise, forgiveness, patience, understanding and not just thinking of oneself in order for the union to last which I believe one of them doesn't have. .

Kris Aquino Arrives from her US Vacation, answers Pregnancy Rumors

The controversial TV host-actress Kris Aquino-Yap arrived from her US vacation of 3 weeks. She denied issues regarding her pregnancy and reiterated that her marriage to James Yap is over.

She sang a line of the song "It must have been love, but it's over now" when asked by a radio reporter why she wanted to end her marriage with James Yap.

She admitted being irked by the pregnancy rumor and even got a call from President Ninoy about her rumored pregnancy. She also denied rumors linking her to Senator Chiz Escudero and said she's not a home wrecker. she admitted that she's affected by what she claimed James Yap's womanizing.

Is it finally Over for Kris and James?

It seems like Kris Aquino is really determined to end up her marriage with husband James Yap. In her interview on her last day of her show "The Buzz" she said that for her, their marriage is already over. "Ako sumuko na", Krissy said. She did not elaborate what's the cause of their latest marital woes for privacy reasons.

At the outset of their marriage, a lot of cynics have already believed that their marriage won't last. First is the age gap. Kris is 11 years older than her husband James. So that would mean a lot of adjustments to both of them. Kris grows up in the city and came from a well-known family and used to a life of media scrutiny being an actress and a daughter to a former president. While James Yap hails from the province and lived a life completely different that of Kris'. Kris Aquino is very vocal while James is a type of person who is just silent. The cynics seem to be right in their guess.

While James Yap wanted to mend whatever differences he has with Kris and wants their marriage intact as they promised to the late president Cory Aquino, Kris seems finally decided to end her marriage. She is now having her lawyers work the papers on their separation.



Here are photos of the two in happier times...

Since it is not known to the public what is the real cause of their marital problem, a lot of speculations and rumors came out. It is said that Kris Aquino is having an affair with Senator Chiz Escudero, being an endorser of her brother, now president Noynoy Aquino. Other rumor says that James Yap, being womanizer, impregnated a fan. Still another rumor said that James Yap threw bad words to Kris Aquino in one of their arguments in front of their children. Whatever the cause maybe, is it finally over for Kris and James?
