Aquino, her husband Yap holding Baby James and her eldest son Joshua attend a mass for the late former President Aquino on the third day of her mother's wake at Manila Cathedral — At President Cory's funeral

Statement issued by James Yap:

“Kilala niyo po naman ako. Tahimik at simple lang akong tao. Tingin ko din itong lahat na issues na naglalabasan siguro dapat kami na lang mag-asawa ang mag-aayos in private. Ever since naman, never niyo akong naringgan ng kung-anu-ano tungkol sa relasyon namin ni Kris.

“Kaya konting lang ang gusto kong sabihin.

“Naniniwala ako sa kahalagahan ng pagkakaroon ng buo ang pamilya. Kaya ipaglalaban ko na mapanatiling buo ang pamilya namin ni Kris anuman ang mangyari. Alam ko walang pamilyang hindi dumaan sa ganitong pagsubok. Marami na kaming dinaanang pagsubok ni Kris before and I don’t think na ngayon pa kami susuko. Gusto ko talagang i-save ang pagsasama namin dahil syempre, may anak kami at hindi biro ang halos anim na taon naming pagsasama. Umaasa pa rin ako na darating ang tamang panahon na maaayos ang lahat.

“Marami nang lumabas na mga balita at mas pinili ko na manahimik muna bilang paggalang sa ating bagong Presidente Noynoy Aquino.

President Kris in 2016?

She immediately took it back as a joke, but was it a deliberate leak?

In her farewell interview in the showbiz talk-show, the Buzz, Kris Aquino said she may yet stage a comeback after her brother’s presidency. Or, she said,”“Who knows, with the help of science, I may still look good. But then again, six years from now, maybe I’m the one who’ll be sworn in.”

Realizing she had unleashed a mouthful, she quickly backtracked: “Joke lang. Baka may magalit na naman (Someone might get mad again).”

Here’s the report of Inquirer’s Bayani San Diego Jr.:

Kris Aquino admits end of marriage to James Yap

It’s game over for the Kris Aquino-James Yap marriage.

On ABS-CBN’s “The Buzz” on Sunday, host Aquino declared: “This marriage is over on my part.”

News about the separation had been swirling the past week – after co-host Boy Abunda revealed Tuesday that Aquino failed to attend an event in Cebu due to marital problems.

From ABS-CBN online:

Valenzuela 2nd District Councilor Shalani Soledad has opened up about her more than a year relationship with winning presidential candidate Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III.

Soledad, 30, was interviewed exclusively by Noynoy’s youngest sister, Kris. During the interview, she shared details about their first meeting as well as her thoughts on her 50-year-old boyfriend’s remarks that marriage is not his priority right now.

The interview was aired on “The Buzz” Sunday.

Below is Kris’s full interview with Soledad.

Kris (K): Umpisahan natin from the very, very beginning. April 27, 1980, ‘yon ang birthday mo. Ano ang type of family ‘yong nakagisnan mo?

Shalani (S): Close ako sa mga relatives ko. Uncle ko, tita ko, cousins ko and lalo na sa brother ko.

K: How many years older sa’yo ang brother mo?
S: Three years. I’m the youngest. Dalawa lang kami.

Ang drama ni Kris Aquino

Published by Ellen on March 15, 2010

Masyado namang OA si Kris Aquino noong linggo sa kanilang show ni Boy Abunda na “The Buzz”.

Anong problema niya? Na binabatikos siya?

Hindi naman siya bata na hindi niya alam kung gaano ka-brutal ang pulitika. Hindi naman siya pinilit para sumali sa kampanya ng kapatid niya. Kagustuhan niya yun.

At bakit siya mag-iiyak sa batikos ng ibang tao. Siya mismo sinasabi niya na maraming nagmamahal sa kanya. Sabi niya ‘yan ang sigaw ng mga tao sa Iloilo at sa Zamboanga kung saan sumama siya sa kampanya ng kanyang kapatid. Kasama rin yata ang kanyang asawang basketbolista na si James Yap at ang kanyang anak, si Baby James.

The buzz is on.

Show biz celebrity Kris Aquino confronted a female fan of her husband, basketball star James Yap, shouting insults at the woman and her mother just outside their upscale Pasig City residence late Wednesday, the Inquirer learned Thursday.

The popular TV host and movie actress spent about 10 minutes at the gate of the Valle Verde 2 home of Mayen Austria, 35, according to Austria’s uncle, Gabby Lopez (no relation to the ABS-CBN chair).

Lopez said he was at the Austria residence and that the family was entertaining guests—including Legazpi City Bishop Joel Baylon—when Aquino arrived.

Iba na ang maganda

Ay naku, balik na nga tayo sa normal pagkatapos ng hagupit ng bagyong “Ondoy”. At balik intriga na naman tayo.

May kumakalat ngayon sa text at Facebook yung sinabi ni Kris Aquino noong Sabado na, “Aminin natin. Mas masarap tumanggap ng relief goods pag maganda ang nagbibigay sa iyo.”

Sabi nga ng isa sa Facebook, “Kaya mga panget exempted sa volunteer relief work.”

Sinabi kasi ito ni Kris bilang reaksyun sa mga kumalat na batikos sa kanila na minsan daw matagal naghihintay ang mga bao sa evacuation centers kahit na nadun na ang mga relief goods dahil hinihintay daw ang mga artista na siyang mamimigay habang kinukunan ng TV.

Kris’ unspoken message: Arroyo not welcome

Published by Ellen on August 3, 2009

Her silence was so eloquent, the audience got the message clearly.

Kris Aquino-Yap, the celebrity youngest daughter of former President Corazon Aquino, was asked yesterday by ABS-CBN entertainment reporter Mario Dumaual if Gloria Arroyo would be welcomed if she came to the wake of their mother, now at the Manila Cathedral.

She kept quiet for about six seconds, which seemed eternity on TV. Then she said, “That’s a very difficult question.”

Pressed for an answer, she begged off saying, “Huwag mo na ako pilitin. Baka may masabi pa akong hindi maganda. (Please don’t compel me (to answer). I might say something not good.)
