Kris Aquino shared this incident via Twitter.

“Good morning. Bimby during Josh’s graduation told me & my sisters that he could see his lola Cory on stage. We asked what she was saying & he said for me & kuya to kiss her here, then he pointed at his cheek,” she tweeted.

Kris said that Josh is really special to former president Cory and it was possible that she was there on that special occasion.

“Mom really kept praying for Josh & helping aid his development, so we know she must have felt so gratified to see Josh moving on to his next level of learning. And  I believe Bimby, na si Lola Cory ang nagparamdam nga because Josh has such a  special place in  her heart!”

It was also said that 15-year old Josh, Kris and Philip Salvador’s son, will soon take up music and baking who’s now “moving on to his next level of learning.”

Since then, everyone seems to wonder what is the real score between them.

“Si Isabel kasi, Cebuana rin. Ako, Cebuano. So, alam mo ang mga Cebuano, kumbaga, magaan ang pakiramdam,” the PBA star explained.

In fact, he also fessed up that Isabel was his special guest on his birthday last February 15.

“In-invite ko siya. Okay na yung presence niya sa birthday ko, okay na yun. Kahit walang regalo,” he said.

However, Yap was quick to add that Isabel is just his friend.

“Si Isabel, kaibigan ko naman. Hindi ko naman idine-deny na kaibigan ko. Kaibigan ko siya. So, hintayin na lang nila kapag ako na ang magsabi na, ‘O, ito na talaga. Ito na ang girlfriend ko. Ito na ang nililigawan ko.’ Para wala nang isyu.”

James Yap has earned the reputation of being a “play boy”, do you believe that there’s nothing going on between him and Isabel?

How is Kris Aquino doing right now?

Well, after her devastating separation with the basketball heart rob, and past whirlwind romances, she says that she is now resolved to take a new perspective in life devoid of anger, hate and stress.  Kris said that moving on is the only way to have a happy life and leaving the past for a better future is the only road she will have to take.  On her Twitter account, she posted these messages:

“I’m learning to not live in the past or worry too much about tomorrow, but just focus on now. Less stress, more joy! Good morning!”

“The secret of health for both mind & body is not to mourn for the past nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely & earnestly.”

Last Sunday, the queen of all media also shared:

“Just read this in my love quotations app, if u want to be loved, be lovable! So that’s my goal for the rest of my life- I’m gonna be lovable!”

Will being lovable also means she is eyeing someone her new love to love her back?  This is a new wait-and-see.

Kris Aquino: I am Gonna Be Lovable! is a copyrighted article from Showbiz Renegade

The baskeball hotshot and PBA’s Most Valuable Player asked the court to grant him rights to visit his baby boy as to his alleged problem with former wife Kris Aquino of not giving him the opportunity to spend time with Baby James.

But the more serious issue now is not only about custody issues but on the settlement of Kris Aquino and James Yap’s properties as the two had not signed a pre-nuptial agreement.  Kris is reported to have earned around P300 million in assets during her marriage with James while the basketball superstar earned around P20 million.

Rumors are circulating that James is not signing the papers that Kris Aquino’s lawyers forwarded to him as the former is demanding a huge amount from the assets of Kris.

But James and his lawyer immediately dismissed this issue as baseless.

It is unfortunate that in all of these, the little 3-year-old boy is the victim of the problems of his parents.

For sure, many more exchanges of words will happen between the two camps as the case drags on.

Any thoughts about this issue?

James Yap Running After Kris Aquino’s Wealth? is a copyrighted article from Showbiz Renegade

“Sabi ko sa kanya, ‘Siyempre, Kris Aquino, ‘no, ayoko!’”, Mrs. Yap stated candidly. Her reason was because Kris came from an elite family, contrary to James who came from a very poor family in a province.

After all the things that has been said and done, everyone waited for Kris Aquino’s reaction.

Aquino said that she was astounded when she heard about it.

“Siyempre, masakit. Lahat ng kapamilya, lahat ng kapatid ko, walang masama ever na sinabi tungkol kay James. Siyempre, tao din naman ako. Kung maririnig ko na never kang nagustuhan, siyempre masakit naman ‘yon.”, she stated.

However, despite of the negative allegations about her, Kris vowed that she will remain silent and will not say anything that will ruin James Yap.  And instead of judging, Kris said that she’s really trying her best to understand Mrs. Yap, since she is a mother too.

Kris says even if she was hurt by such statements,  she is willing to remain silent for the sake of her son.

James Yap’s mom expressed her sentiments Sunday on Showbiz Central after Kris Aquino’s bare-all interview with Boy Abunda last Sunday about what went wrong on her marriage with the basketball hotshot.

Annie Yap disclosed that her family is hurting right now about all that Kris Aquino said about his son.

“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.  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.”

Mrs. Yap also denied from what she knows that the couple usually ends up verbally abusive with each during fights.

“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.”

She also denied that her son had extra-marital affairs after she confronted him about it.

But at the end of her interview she further revealed that from the very beginning she did not live the TV show host.

“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.  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?”

Kris Aquino and her lawyers are already working on their appeal to the court to nullify her marriage of James Yap while at the same time her name is being dragged into having a budding romance with Makati Mayor Junjun Binay.

Kris Aquino’s bare- all-exclusive interview

Kris Aquino just arrived a few days ago from her three-week vacation with sons Baby James and Joshua in the United States, and already went to work as one of the hosts of noontime TV show “Pilipinas Win na Win.”

Kris Aquino shared on her interview video with Boy Abunda and she has given up on her marriage with James Yap as she just wants to be true to herself that both of them have been living miserable lives for years together.  She said further that she had been in love with James but realized that there are just so many uncommon things between the two of them that had resulted to many misunderstandings that the love had just faded away.

She also dispelled all rumors about her being pregnant or she is in love with another man, which some names floated like that of Mayor Junjun Binay, Sen. Escudero and Coco Martin.

At the end of it, everything seems already set for Kris Aquino to live a separate path of life and all legal actions are already on their way in order for her marriage with James Yap be considered null and void.

Any thoughts about her revelation on the reasons Kris has shared on her giving up on her marriage.

Yet, despite of all the rumors being thrown, James Yap vehemently denies that he is a womanizer. Also he does not believe the rumors linking his wifey to several politicians and young actors.

“Hindi ganyan ang asawa ko.” James said.

After Kris confirmed that she had taken legal action about their separation, Yap refused to be interviewed. He even avoided the news team by going through the stadium back doors.

I wonder what is it that James Yap could have done that only a miracle could save their marriage?

James Yap

But a new twist as to the relationship of James and Kris and how they ended up on separate ways floated.

A Pinoy Parazzi writer Morly Alinio said floated the idea that the reason why Kris Aquino gave up her marriage with James Yap was because the cager impregnated a fan.

But of course, this is just pure rumor and no proof has been presented.  Kris Aquino also denied during her last stint on “The Buzz” of any third party involved with her decision of leaving her husband.

I think this is just a product of one’s fertile imagination.

James Yap on the other hand said that he is still trying to court Kris in order to win her back and their family be made whole again.

As of now, the legal battle for custody and making their marriage null and void is on the works with the legal counsels of both camps.
