Pinagbigyan na Makati City Regional Trial Court ang hiling ni James Yap na magkaroon ng "visitation rights" sa kanyang anak kay Kris Aquino na si Baby James.
Sa ilalim ng sala ni Judge Cristina Javalera-Sulit, muling nagkita ang basketball player at ang actress-TV host para sa unang pagdinig sa petisyon ng "nullity of marriage" na inihain ng huli noong Agosto 9.
At ang tanging napag-usapan sa pagdinig kanina ay ang apela ni James na makita ang kanyang tatlong taong gulang na anak. (CLICK HERE to read related article)
Naunang dumating sa hearing si Kris, 39, na nakasuot ng sleeveless one-piece black dress. Kasama niya ang kanyang mga kapatid na babae—sina Ballsy Aquino-Cruz, Pinky Aquino-Abellada, at Viel Aquino-Dee.
Samantala, bahagyang na-late naman si James, 28, na nakasuot ng maong at white polo shirt. Dumating ito kasabay ang kanyang mga abogado.
Kasama rin ni Kris ang mga escort na Presidential Security Guard, na hindi kukulangin sa apat. Ang mga ito ay pumasok sa courtroom, at pumosisyon sa bandang likod. Sa labas, may mixed group ng Makati police, city hall security guards, at ang mga tauhan ng Makati Commercial Estate Association (Macea).
Si James naman ay escorted lamang ng personal na kaibigang si Mike Gayoso, isang character actor at kapatid ng dating Ginebra player na si Jayvee Gayoso.
Tumagal nang halos mahigit tatlong oras ang pagdinig. Sa loob ng tatlong oras na iyon, nagkaroon din ng isang closed-door meeting sina Kris at James kasama si Judge Sulit. Sumunod ay nagkaroon naman ng one-on-one meeting ang hukom, una kay James at pagkatapos ay kay Kris.
Matapos ng tatlong oras, nagkaroon na ng agreement sina Kris at James tungkol sa visitation rights ni James sa kanilang nag-iisang anak.
Paglabas ni Kris, naging matipid siya sa kanyang pahayag:
"It's a compromise agreement na pinasok namin with the interest of our son. Siguro, that's the only thing I can say right now because the judge admonished us to not share what we spoke of with the judge privately.
"Ang sinabi sa amin dito ng judge, and I think klarong-klaro naman sa aming dalawa, ang utmost priority naming talaga is 'yong well-being ng anak namin. I think that, on my part, I feel naman also, sa part naman ni James, na gagawin namin lahat to ensure that this will be not traumatic for our son.
"Siguro kung marami man kaming mga differences between the two of us, I don't know, only time will tell kung maayos pa namin o hindi. Pero bukas ang kalooban ko at bukas ang kalooban ni James na subukan naming maayos ang lahat dahil mahal namin ang anak namin. Thank you."
Sa kabilang banda, hindi naman nagpaunlak ng anumang panayam ang two-time Most Valuable Player ng Philippine Basketball Association.
Ngunit ayon sa kanyang legal counsel na si Atty. Lorna Kapunan, naging cooperative naman ang dalawang panig. "Kasi ang ginawa ng judge, isa-isa sila sa chambers. Walang lawyers! Visitation lang ang issue," sabi pa ni Atty. Kapunan.







So far,it seems James is in control of this situation. It's like a car, James doesn't have his foot on the gas pedal instead he's using the cruise control. in othe words the Law is somewhat on James side not so much of a struggle. Under the law, he's entitled for visitation rights and get half of Kris assets.
after broadcasting na kumuha ng SABON and TOOTHPASTE si James sabi ni Kris sa bahay nila...hindi nasali ang TUBIG na pinaligo ni JAMES...yay!
we will wait and see how much LOWER can Kris be with regards to pinning down James...with Boy's help.
Surely there would be another low antics in the making...we will wait and see how LOW Kris can be! just to protect her own SELFISH interests...
Unfortunately under the law, James should get his 50/50 share from their conjugal properties. That's the law and should be upheld.
Kris should do some soul-searching to seek for the truth and what's morally right.
Yahhh it is SUPER HILARIOUS, even Boy wasn't able to advise her.
James YAP, 2 time MVP sa PBA sa pinas, kumuha ng SABON and TOOTHPASTE sa bahay nila ni Kris hahahahaha!!!
Whatta LOW, Kris and BOY?
Please, Kris duct tape your mouth until this Annulment is over.Don't make it any harder for you and James. No one comes out a winner from this except your Lawyers.
Remember Kris, Jame is just a MERE HUSBAND, He gave you STABILITY that's what you said. James saved your bad reputation 5 yrs ago that's why you accumulated 300M because as soon as James married you, NAGING MABANGO ka sa showbiz at mga endorsements. If HINDI KA PINAKASALAN ni James, NOBODY should have trusted you, even your brother wasn't talking to you before because of your wrong men in life and the kahihiyan you gave to your family and the PUBLIC.
REMEMBER, James helped you to accumulate the 300M so now FACE THE CONSEQUENCE of your own action to file the SEPARATION. Ouch ha Kris?
She filed for SEPARATION just because she cannot take it anymore, election is over, plus JJ Binay is waiting. So she has to get out of the marriage ASAP.
Therefore she has to face the CONSEQUENCE of her action in filing the SEPARATION.
James did NOT file it, KRIS DID. The law for 50/50 is obviously NOT authored by James. Therefore, it is just but a BONUS for James if the law says it is 50/50.
But NOT because James is LESS MILLIONAIRE than Kris then it is just right to say that James is after the money.
But Kris should remember this, within 5 yrs of accumulating the 300M, if not because James married her, she wouldn't earned that much.
WHY?
Do you think 5 yrs ago when she declared her STD issue with Joey, do u think there would be advertisers who wanted her to endorse their products if James did not marry her? Do you think if 5 yrs ago, her career would blossomed if James did not marry her? Do u think people in the industry would trust her if she had a DETERIORATING IMAGE if NOT BAD REPUTATION 5 years ago? It was JAMES YAP who SAVED her BAD IMAGE to her family and the PUBLIC.
Yes conditioning the PUBLIC that James is nothing but a trash, imagine KUMUHA ng SABON at saka TOOTHPASTE at iba pang issues...
I am wondering HOW LOW Kris can be in the coming days just to BE VINDICTIVE to James.
Round 1, James won by his 3 days visitation which Kris didn't want supposed to be but forced to give it anyway kasi COURT ORDER na.
She has to think with Boy so she can get back, so yun KUMUHA ng SABON at TOOTHPASTE si James para ipamukha sa public na SI JAMES is MUKHANG PERA or after for HER MONEY!
Honestly i did NOT expect her to do SUCH LOW antics so much so for Boy to concede to Kris wishes to air it on the buzz. Boy is perceived as a smart person but he allowed himself to connive with Kris because he has to earn his living too in behalf of Kris, or else he wont have any commission...
Kris should have included na KUMAIN pa ng libre si James sa bahay nila if she wants to get sooo LOW!
