As far as Kris Aquino is concerned, her marriage with basketball player James Yap "is over."
Ito ang isiniwalat ni Kris, 39, sa kanyang pahayag sa The Buzz kaninang hapon, June 27, na siya ring huling araw niya bilang co-host ng programa.
Binasag ni Kris ang kanyang katahimikan pagkatapos ng ilang linggong haka-haka tungkol sa totoong estado ng kanilang pagsasama ni James, 28.
Sa kanyang Twitter entry noong June 16 ay inamin ni Kris na nakaapekto sa kanilang pagsasama ang nakaraang presidential elections, kung saan ay tumakbo at nanalo ang kuya ni Kris na si Noynoy Aquino bilang Presidente.
Sa isang panayam naman noong June 22 ay kinumpirma ng kaibigan at co-host ni Kris sa The Buzz na si Boy Abunda na umalis na ng kanilang tahanan si Kris kasama ang kanyang mga anak na sina Josh at Baby James. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)
Pagkatapos nito ay pinili ni Kris na manahimik muna tungkol sa pinagdadaanan nila ni James. Hanggang sa magsalita nga siya kanina sa The Buzz upang ipaalam na sumuko na siya sa pagsasama nila ni James bilang mag-asawa.
Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataon na nagkaroon ng problema sa pagsasama nina Kris at James, ngunit sa pagkakataong ito ay tila wala nang balikang mangyayari.
"On my part, what I'm comfortable saying is, with finality I can say, ako sumuko na," sabi ni Kris.
Nilinaw ni Kris na hindi ito isang biglaang desisyon.
"I just want to say na whatever decision I have come to, it's not a spur of the moment decision. Hindi ito nangyari na nagising lang ako isang araw at sinabi kong ayoko na. Matagal naming sinubukan. James and I both tried to really make this work," pahayag niya.
Pero tumanggi nang magbigay ng detalye si Kris sa sinapit ng kanilang pagsasama ni James. Ang tanging may karapatan lamang daw na humingi ng pagpapaliwanag ay ang anak nila na si Baby James.
"Kung anuman ang dahilan why this marriage, on my part, I'm saying, is over, the only person I will owe an explanation to, and the only person who can demand from me na bakit kayo naghiwalay, is my son," saad ni Kris.
Dagdag niya, "The worst thing I can do for Baby James is, when he's 7 or 8 years old, ang mahanap niya sa YouTube yung explanation kung bakit naghiwalay ang nanay at tatay niya. He deserves much more than that. He deserves to hear it only from me and only from James. Because in any separation, there are two sides to the story. And we owe it to him, James will owe it to him, that I will owe it to him to explain to him."
Pinili raw ni Kris na manahimik muna tungkol sa isyu hindi dahil sa nalalapit na inauguration ng kanyang kuya na si President-elect Noynoy Aquino sa June 30.
"My decision to keep quiet is because I asked myself 'Kapag in-explain ko kay Baby James, number one, mauunawaan ba niya ako? Number 2, rerespetuhin pa ba niya ako? At number 3, mamahalin pa ba niya ako?' At nasagot ko naman kagabi na 'yes.' I know my son will understand me, will respect me and still love me. And I feel that he will love me more, respect me more, and value me more if I keep quiet today," saad niya.
Halos limang taon ang itinagal ng pagsasama nina Kris at James. Ikinasal ang dalawa sa isang civil ceremony sa bahay ni Boy Abunda noong July 10, 2005.
TRANSCRIPT OF KRIS'S STATEMENT. Narito ang kabuuang pahayag ni Kris Aquino kanina sa The Buzz:
"First, I'm sorry about Tuesday [engagement in Cebu]. For so long, ilang buwan naman na nagampanan ko ang lahat ng tungkulin ko, lahat ng responsibilidad sa trabaho at sa kampanya kahit na mayroon kaming pinagdadaanan sa tahanan namin. It was a sign of weakness on my part not to show up, and I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry that you [Boy] had to be the one to answer because you felt uncomfortable making up an excuse.
"About what we've been through, I think naman Boy hindi lahat sikreto sa inyong lahat, kung ano ang mga napagdaanan namin in our married life. I think also the whole Philippines is fully aware na when my mom was alive and ngayon, my siblings have tried to bridge whatever gaps—and I mean gaps, marami na kasi. Tinry nila na tulungan kaming ayusin yung mga problema namin.
"I have not sat down [with my siblings]... lahat through text-kay Ate [Ballsy], kay Pinky. Through phone, nakausap ko si Viel. Nag-text din kami ni Noy. Siyempre sila lahat, gusto nila sana maayos pa.
