In a new and unexpected twist to the already emotional saga surrounding Kris Aquino’s last will and testament, her youngest son, Bimby Aquino Yap, has allegedly made a bold move—ordering his mother’s legal team to remove his own father, basketball star James Yap, from her will.

The shocking revelation has stunned both fans and observers, many of whom have followed the Aquino-Yap story closely over the years. Once seen as a symbol of a second chance at love for Kris, James Yap’s relationship with Kris—and more importantly, with Bimby—has long been the subject of public scrutiny and controversy.

Tension Behind Closed Doors?

According to a close family insider who requested anonymity, Bimby, now a teenager and fiercely protective of his ailing mother, felt “deeply uncomfortable” with James Yap being given any authority or inheritance through Kris’s final wishes.

“He didn’t make the decision lightly,” the source revealed. “But after everything they’ve been through, Bimby feels his father has not been present enough in their lives to deserve that level of trust.”

Though no official statement has been made by the Aquino family or their legal counsel, the rumors have sent shockwaves through social media. Many netizens have voiced support for Bimby, praising him for standing up for his mother. Others, however, are calling for compassion and understanding, pointing out that legal decisions like this should not be made based on personal emotion alone.

A Complicated Family History

Kris Aquino and James Yap’s marriage, which ended in 2010, was marred by public conflict, custody battles, and emotional interviews. While Kris often emphasized that she only wanted the best for her son, their strained co-parenting relationship left scars that seemingly have not healed.

Bimby, who has grown up in the spotlight, has always been seen as mature beyond his years. Often praised for his intelligence and composure, it appears he is now playing a more active role in family affairs—especially with Kris’s ongoing health issues.

Over the past few years, Kris has been battling multiple autoimmune diseases, which have required extensive treatment abroad. Her condition has prompted her to prepare her legal affairs, including her last will, in case of unforeseen circumstances.

What Happens Now?

If the reports are accurate, the decision to remove James Yap from Kris’s will could have significant legal and emotional implications—not just for the Aquino family, but also for the public image of all involved. It raises questions about who will ultimately handle Kris’s estate, her medical wishes, and the guardianship of her children if needed.

Some speculate that Kris’s other ex-partner, Philip Salvador, who is the father of her eldest son Josh, may still remain in the will. Others believe Kris herself may contest or reverse Bimby’s request if she is still well enough to do so.

Final Say Still With Kris

While Bimby’s alleged request is dominating headlines, legal experts point out that the final authority still rests with Kris Aquino. As long as she is of sound mind and legally capable, only she can amend or authorize changes to her last will and testament.

Still, the emotional weight of her son’s involvement adds another layer to an already dramatic and deeply human story—one filled with love, pain, and the complex ties of family.

As the nation watches with concern and curiosity, one thing is clear: this is not just about a will. It’s about legacy, healing, and the voice of a son who only wants to protect his mother.
