I would not want Cathy to be Kris Aquino right now.
The wildly popular Philippine television personality almost went into labor yesterday, complaining of stomach pain that, according to The Buzz co-host Boy Abunda, doctors claimed was false labor brought about by stress.
Aquino was ordered to get immediate bed rest for the next few days, and virtually ordered to avoid any contact with media, resulting in her complete media blackout, including reading tabloids and watching television.
The reason for the stress? Aquino’s husband, basketball player James Yap, has been accused of having an affair with a beauty clinic facial attendant going by the name of as Hope, who appeared on the GMA-7 talk show Star Talk to reveal details of her purported affair with Yap. A full interview with Hope is scheduled to air on Saturday.
While this is none of my business, I will say three things:
- Yap has admitted to ‘mistakes,’ but what these mistakes are and the extent of the mistake are not known, so I suggest we just let James and Kris be, and instead pray they can work things out.
- Marital infidelity is a serious, serious issue - but staying by an unfaithful man shows a strength of character rare in these times. I applaud Kris’ decision to try and work it out.
- Aquino’s daily shooting schedule, while not as hectic as others’, is very taxing for a woman in her sixth month of pregnancy. She doesn’t need the extra cash; ABS-CBN and her brother Noynoy, for whom she promised to campaign, should allow her to take time off to devote herself to enjoying the last few months of pregnancy. Take a tip from Sharon Cuneta when she was pregnant, Kris, and rest. Your brother should win on his own, and Channel 2 should come up with something new. Nothing is worth losing your baby and/or your marriage.
Some people, including my wife, are not fans of Kris Aquino. Me, I love the woman. So what is in her best interests, should, in my opinion, shape her activities for the next few months.
Rest, Kris, and work on your pregnancy and marriage. What do you say? Deal, or no deal?

Does Nathan know about Kris or are you intent on shielding him from the evils of the world? Hehe. Seriously, why the two of them are together is beyond me. Do they even communicate well? haha

Kris has, time and again, made mistakes with men - married men to be even, and I find it really sad that now that she’s decided to settle down and entered into a mature and loving relationship, this stuff happens. She’s not my most favorite person in the world (at least not always) and I do think that for a smart and powerful woman, she’s done a lot of stupid things, but she doesn’t deserve this. No woman deserves this.
Another thing, I find that what Hope is doing is in bad taste and has awful timing. Was she provoked into coming out? I dont know. But the woman she’s “attacking” is having a baby, if she was dying to tell the world her “affair” the least she could done was wait until Kris had given birth.

I completely agree with you, Vida. That woman, Hope, has no idea what she’s gotten herself into.

Just read the latest media buzz. Kris stands firm (good form). James Yap plans to sue (but the question from Kris is a tough one to answer). Hope isn’t sure if she’s pregnant.
The question I’m referring to was what Boy Abunda mentioned in The Buzz yesterday, supposedly Kris has asked or is asking James, if he knew that there was a person obsessed with/stalking him, why does he still go to that place where the person is (working)?

things happen for a reason so let’s help Kris and James by praying for them and with them.
To Kris and James,
After saying your piec on the matter, sleep tight, pray hard and look up everytime you feel the pain of what is happening to you.
Consider everything part of God’s plan so you’ll never forget that He’s up there looking after you.
Forget what they are saying at the moment.
Just pray and leave evrything to God.

We are no morons like many of Kris’ detractors who cannot distinguish much more discern what is right from wrong, spade from black, day from night or an egg from a chicken. Modesty aside, with what little God has given us, our perceptions & insight of things are governed by our intelligence & wisdom, as reckoned or founded from our Christian Faith & actual or vicarious experiences in life while trying to dissect or deconstruct the issues hounding Kris, James & Hope today. Perhaps for people who had contributed to the population explosion of such envious & ingrate creatures or species as buffoons trying to be baboons, trying to defend Kris in this recent imbroglio she was thrust into is a waste of time because they have no CPU’s to start with or are biased, envious or angry with Kris & had nothing in mind but to put Kris’ life miserable in the first place. Anyway for all the insecurities of those maligning, castigating & demolishing Kris, read this:
We truly commiserate with what’s happening to Kris right now, but it is in times like this that we never fail to support her through prayers & by showing her our support via forums or fora like this. Coming from a husband who’s marriage had been beleaguered due to someone of Hope’s ilk, who’s marriage had been put to test out of the same imbroglio that Kris & James are thrust into this time around, here I am, holding on to such a union out of sheer love for my wife, and for the same reason Kris had stated in her interviews, not to deprive my 3-year old son of his parents, or of a family, touted as the basic unit of a society, a very basic & fundamental foundation of my son’s person & existence.
Life had been very difficult going through the present predicament we’re in, just as Kris & James are experiencing right now, but if there’s one thing positive that comes as an offshoot of this, it’s that you discover & learn who your genuine, real & true friends are, whose moral & spiritual support as well as unconditional love is akin to that of your family’s. Moreover, it is in such crisis that we discover if not rediscover our strength & capacity as a person, our faith in God & the causes, principles, norms, values & convictions that we were raised with via a chain of institutions starting from our families, schools, churches/religious institutions, hospitals, etc.
Moreover, we realize that success in life is truly relative, which means, success is measured not in terms of the position one has reached in life, as to the obstacles one has overcome while trying to succeed. Furthermore, it is evident that where there’s no pain, there’s no gain and success is sweetest where pain is greatest, after all, the sweetest smile is that smile that comes from one’s tears. Likewise, it is said: “The greatest Glory of a man is not in never falling, but in rising again every time he falls.
If Jesus did stumble several times on his way to the cross and rise up each time to achieve his greater goal & purpose, we ourselves must take it upon him & as a privilege to overcome the trials that come our way for us to become better, stronger & fit for God’s Kingdom, to eventually become men & women for others, “Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam” or “For the greater glory of God”. In the end, we owe it to ourselves to say, “In Hoc Signo Vinces” or “By this sign (cross) we shall conquer” that before leaving this material world prior to being reunited with our Creator, for all the problems, challenges, troubles & heartaches that had accentuated & characterized our existence in this world, we will be proud to say to everyone & especially to the Lord, to borrow Julius Caesar’s famous words, “Veni Vidi Vici” or “I came, I saw, I conquered”!!!!!
To Kris, James Joshua & baby James our sincerest prayers & deepest sympathy at what you’re going through right now. Although we’re confident that with such a cohesive & supportive family in mother/in-law Madam Cory Aquino, brother in Genuine Opposition (GO) senatorial bet Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, along with sisters Balsy, Pinky & Viel, we’re confident that Kris & James could never go wrong, especially aided by our heartfelt prayers & moral support!!!!
Lastly, Kris, don’t allow this situation to ruin what great future is in store for you, James & your entire family. Give James a chance; let him learn the ropes of marriage, young as he is & become a truly good example of a happy, contented, successful family to the MISERY, AGONY, ENVIOUSNESS & DEMOLITION of your DETRACTORS.
After all, the sweetest revenge against any detractor & obstacle is SUCCESS, in whichever sphere, form or aspect of life!!!!!
