Repost: James Yap on Reconnecting with Bimby after Many Years

Image courtesy of www.entertainment.inquirer.net

Since the buzz du jour is that Bimby Aquino reached out to his dad, James Yap, I called “migo” (that’s how I address James due to our Ilonggo connection) about it. I’m not at liberty to divulge everything that migo told me out of respect for the privacy of their “renewed” father-son relationship.

All I can share from our convo is this: “Miga, I’m super happy to hear from Bimb after eight years. I’ve been praying for this day to come. Na-miss ko sobra si Bimb! It’s the best Father’s Day gift ever. He said that he is looking forward to seeing his brother MJ again and meet his sister Francine soon. He wished me luck in my new career as a public servant.” (MJ and Francine are James’ kids with his fab girlfriend, Mic Cazzola.)

Even if Kris Aquino and James are already an ex-couple, the superstar baller can never be an ex-Dad to their son, Bimby.

The “man with a million moves” (James’ PBA moniker) is raring to build millions of memories with Bimby to make up for lost time.

  1. In fairness ang tagal na nila ni blondie ah. Akala ko naghiwalay na sila years ago.

  2. This is an example of a parent (kris) who was once hurt and bitter towards the ex but didn’t plant seeds of hate and bitterness in her child’s heart. Kasi kung iisipin mo bata pa si Bimby nung maghiwalay parents nya. Andaling impluwensyahan ng isipan ng murang edad but Bimb turned out forgiving and humble. Kudos to kris for that and for James also for respecting her and giving Bimby enough time. Happy for them. Love love love indeed!

    1. Kris and Sharon, hiniwalay nila ang problema nila sa relasyon sa mga tatay ng anak nila at between sa tatay sa mga anak nila. Si Grace Ibuna ay ganoon din.

    2. Edukada kasi si Kris.

    3. I dont think so. Kasi kung ok sila di aabot ng matagal or hindi mawawala ang relationship ng father-child in the first place.

    4. 5:48 sabihin na natin na pinagbawalan sila for a time magkita o magkausap but the fact that Bimby didn’t harbor hate towards his dad is something admirable. Kasi kung lumalaki si Bimby na puro negative naririnig nya from his mom I doubt kung mag rereach out sya sa dad nya or maging comfortable man lang na mag reach out.

    5. i think yun pagbabawal ni Kris before na magkita yun magama, was because Bimb heard comments from his father about his being soft and acts like his mother. so nasaktan si Kris kasi nga parang yun tatay pa mismo yun parang nagdodown sa sexuality ng anak.

    1. Nope. Tinuturo po ang pagiging polite and humble. Hindi sya lumaki sa tatay nya.

    2. James is neither polite nor humble, let's be real.

    3. tell that to James who didn't have any connections with Bimby for 8 years! mukha mo! Kudos to Kris who single handedly raised her sons. Well raised children.

    4. James as polite and humble? It was Bimb who had to reach out to him. Nasaan yang polite n humble all these years?

    5. Natututunan ang pagiging polite and humble, at sa nanay siya lumaki na nagturo sa kanya.

    6. 1:15 kanino ba siya lumaki? Sino ba nakasama nya ng matagal at parati? Yan reply ko sa comment mo. Kapag lumaking mabait, magalang ang isang bata nanay na nagpalaki dito ang pupurihin.

    7. Wala naman psaway sa mga kamag anak nya sa mom side ah. May narinig ba tayong nagkalat sa kanila? Ang titino nila like Mikee, China, pati pa nga si sophie albert matino… bimby has good genes plus maganda pagpapalaki ni kris. Swerte ni james may anak sya na cojuangco/aquino. Bait ng panganay niya.

    1. He’s a household name in PBA. Impossibleng walang pang sustento yan because he earns millions.

      Delete
    2. Honestly, sa kagaya ko na kayang buhayin ang bata di mahalaga ang sustento. Yung effort lang na maging present ka sa buhay ng anak mo tama na yun. Sadly, maraming lalake na gaya ni PC. Sana maging okay na talaga sina James at Bimby.

    3. Susme teh, don't go there, hahaha!

    4. 4:33 sabi ni Kris dati wala daw sustento binibigay si James. Which is kinagulat ng marami dahil nga malaki naman bayad ng PBA sa kanya.

  7. Maswerte parin si james sa Ex nya dahil pinalaking may breeding si bimb

  8. Big thumbs up sa parenting ni Kris, she raised Bimb and Josh alone, and they turned out to be well-mannered and humble kids. Well, tatak ng Aquino siblings and their offsprings kaya it transcends sa mga anak nila

    I am so happy for Bimb, lalo na kay Kris kasi this all reflected on how she molded Bimb to not begrudgedhis father

    1. Yes. Kahit super arte ni Kris, she's actually very down to earth. Madaling lapitan. I saw her once sa Rustan's Glorietta. Papalapit pa lang ako, siya na unang nag hi. Tapos tinatanong pa niya kami kung ok ba yung mga damit na bibilhin niya. Natatawa nga ako kasi isang design lang yung damit tapos mga 7 kulay ata yung gusto niya bilhin. She's really very pleasant.

  11. Dennis Padilla should learn from James Yap. Tahimik lang. Hindi nag-iingay sa socmed para mapansin ng anak.

  12. I am happy for Bimby. But JY still strikes me as an opportunist. Imagine dipping your hands in your child’s inheritance and taking half of what Kris owns just because he can (no prenup) e di man lang cinonsider na para dapat sa mga fatherless children ni Kris yun tsk tsk. Question here is: did he ever give sustento to Bimby, khit pa sabihin more than capable naman si Kris?

    3. I'm sure Kris already moved on, pero grabe naman kc talaga yung tatay.

    4. 1:39 it's not just about moving on. it's more of doing the right thing a decent person would

  13. Cringe! It is concerning to hear that after eight years of being apart, he appears not to have made any effort to reach out to Bimby as evidenced by his statement that he "misses" him. It would have been simple for him to make a call, text or send an email. It is disappointing that the 16-year-old son had to take the initiative to contact his father. Kudos to Bimby, you are a better man than your father.

    1. Maraming pagkukulang si James esp yong hindi nya pag intindi sa pakiusap ni Kris na wag na sya maghingi sa conjugal nila alang2 kay Joshua total kahit piso di naman nag demand si Kris. Pati na sustento basta lang wag sya mag demand sa pera ni Kris pero wala eh. Nagpa abogado pa si James makuha lang ang share nya sa pera ni Kris kaya doon si Kris nagalit. Di rin tumupad si James na magsustento once nasa kanya na ang pera ni Kris. Kqya natapyasan ang trust fund ni Josh dahil doon at sising sisi sya na walang pre-nup agreement. Tas, dumating ang time na si Bimby na ang lumayo. Di rin natin alam kung bakit. Maganda lang talaga ang pagpapalaki ni Kris kay Bimby.

  14. I like seeing bimby. Ma feel mo talaga gano siya kabuting anak at tao. Makikita mo marunong makisama sa lahat. Hindi mayabang. Khit sino pinupuri pagpapalaki sa knya.

  20. The first chance he gets, share agad. It’s kind of premature to mention at this point. Like as a parent it should come naturally na you would want to protect your child from the frenzy. Low key lang. Jeez James.

    1. If you read the 1st paragraph, the writer called James and asked about the reconnection. He added that he is not at liberty to divulge most of what was shared with him. Tinanong niya, so buti hindi niya sinulat lahat ng sinagot.

  21. Wag na kayo mag talo, susko. Just be happy that they re-connect

  22. Kahit sa interview ni Kris kay Bimb a few years ago, makikita mo maturity at pagiging mabuting tao nung bata. Kudos to Kris!
