“Shock and Grace: Kris Aquino Entrusts Final Will to Ex-Lovers Philip Salvador and James Yap in Stunning Twist of Loyalty and Love”

In a turn of events that has left the nation stunned and stirred, Kris Aquino — the ever-resilient Queen of All Media — has made a jaw-dropping and emotional decision: she has entrusted her last will and testament to none other than Philip Salvador and James Yap, the two men who once held her heart and are the fathers of her beloved sons, Josh and Bimby.

As Aquino continues to battle multiple life-threatening autoimmune diseases far from the Philippines, her latest move has set social media ablaze and reawakened deep emotions about love, legacy, and redemption.

A Mother Facing Mortality With Fierce Love

For months now, Kris Aquino has been undergoing aggressive treatment in the U.S. for her autoimmune conditions, including Churg-Strauss syndrome, a rare and debilitating disease that affects blood vessels and internal organs. Doctors have not sugarcoated the gravity of her condition. Her fight is ongoing — and grueling.

Yet even in the face of such brutal uncertainty, Kris has chosen not despair — but preparation.

And not just any preparation, but one with symbolic depth. According to sources close to her legal team, Kris Aquino’s final will and testament, including instructions on her estate and guardianship of her sons, has been entrusted — not to close celebrity friends, not to lawyers or siblings — but to Philip Salvador and James Yap, her former lovers, both of whom have had complicated histories with the media icon.

A Stunning Act of Forgiveness and Trust

It’s no secret that Kris’s past relationships were riddled with scandal, heartbreak, and public scrutiny. Philip Salvador, her former partner and father of her eldest son Josh, was involved in political controversies and an emotionally charged split with Kris decades ago.

James Yap, father of her second son Bimby, also parted ways with Kris in a highly publicized breakup marked by legal tension and custody disagreements. For years, they were barely on speaking terms.

And now, she has placed her life’s final decisions in their hands.

“She’s not just making peace,” said one insider. “She’s rewriting what it means to be a mother, a partner, and a legacy. It’s not about the past anymore. It’s about what’s right for her children.”

Boy Abunda Reacts: “This Is So Kris.”

Veteran TV host and long-time friend Boy Abunda was reportedly emotional upon hearing Kris’s decision. “This is so Kris,” he told reporters. “When people think they’ve figured her out, she shocks them with something so profoundly honest and vulnerable. She’s choosing love over pride, unity over history.”

Abunda added, “Entrusting her final will to James and Philip? That’s not weakness — that’s strength. That’s a woman who’s come full circle.”

Public Reactions: From Tears to Applause

The Filipino public — deeply invested in Kris Aquino’s personal life — has erupted with mixed emotions.

On Twitter and Facebook, the hashtag #KrisLegacy quickly trended, with fans praising her bravery. Others admitted they were moved to tears by her act of reconciliation, saying it taught them lessons about humility, healing, and how a mother’s love transcends even the most painful past.

One fan posted:

“She may not be perfect, but Kris is real. And this… this is the realest act of courage I’ve ever seen.”

Will James and Philip Rise to the Occasion?

Neither James Yap nor Philip Salvador has released an official statement yet, but sources say both men were “visibly shaken” when Kris informed them. Whether or not the past wounds are fully healed, insiders suggest that both are willing to carry the responsibility Kris has entrusted to them.

“This isn’t about them anymore,” said a close friend of the Aquino family. “It’s about Josh and Bimby. And Kris is making sure that even when she’s gone, her sons will still be protected by the people who brought them into this world.”

A Living Legacy in Motion

Kris Aquino has always lived a life larger than fiction — from presidential bloodlines, showbiz fame, national scandals, to heart-wrenching health battles. But now, she is crafting a new chapter: one that isn’t about drama, but dignity.

In choosing her exes to carry her legacy, she has shown a maturity, grace, and unbreakable maternal instinct that even her harshest critics can’t ignore.

She isn’t just preparing for the end — she’s redefining it. And in doing so, she reminds a grieving, watching world: even in goodbye, there can be love.

Kris allegedly makes Joshua and Bimby jealous of their fathers; Philip, James have been embarrassed several times
“When you asked Kris (Aquino) in our previous episode if it was still your fault that Josh and Bimby’s fathers are not contacting them, we can’t answer that.”

This was the statement of Nanay Cristy Fermin in the episode of “Showbiz Now Na” uploaded this Wednesday afternoon.

Nay Cristy, Romel Chika and Morly Alinio talked about the fathers of Josh and Bimb brothers, Philip Salvador and James Yap, with the former telling the reason.

It can be recalled that Kris did not like what was seen talking about her children involving their respective fathers.

The writer said, “We should return to you the question of why Kuya Ipe and James are not contacting your children. That should be it, she (Kris) should be the one to answer.”

‘Nay Cristy continued, “Why don’t Philip Salvador and James Yap contact their children Josh and Bimby when they know his number?

“Kris gave names that both she and brother Ipe and James know, but despite everything, the two fathers of her children haven’t even said hello,” added the veteran columnist.

And here, Nanay Cristy admitted that she spoke to a source who knows the reasons why the two well-known personalities have no communication with their children.

“I spoke to a source who said that James Yap really can’t do that because of what happened before when they (and Kris) separated, the talk in court is that James ‘Yap has visitation rights with Bimby,” said Nay Cristy. Morly snapped, “Oh, that’s it, eh.”

“That’s not Morly’s doing,” said Nanay Cristy.

“(Oh) It’s not being done?” Romel asked.

“Yes, because when James calls Bimby’s nanny, he tells her, ‘we can’t, you can’t pick up Bimby, we have something to go to first,’ it’s always like that,” the online host said.

Morly asked, “Does that mean, being greedy?”

“Exactly!” ‘Nay Cristy’s quick answer.

This didn’t just happen once because it was always because Yaya and Bimb had something to do at school or something to go to.

“So, it seems that the one who ruined the conversation in court was Kris Aquino. As for kuya Ipe, she really wouldn’t be so sweet to contact her or Josh.

“Do you remember the last election, 2016, when Senator Bong Go introduced himself as ‘Kris Aquino’s supposed wife who didn’t make it’ and so on, and he accused Kuya Ipe of being the mastermind behind all of that.

“(Kris said), ‘You didn’t even give us protection for your child while this, that, (in short) there were so many issues.

“Once Josh and Bimby were talking and he (Kris) heard someone say ‘palit-ulo.’ He didn’t understand what ‘palit-ulo’ was. I asked Kuya Ipe about that palit-ulo thing and he didn’t know anything either,” ‘Nay Cristy’s long story.

Morly’s opinion, “What is that for, prison? For those who kill, eh, palit-ulo.”

Nanay Cristy continued, “So, since then, the two, (brothers Ipe and James) have avoided communicating with their children.”

Romel said that the two fathers could not directly contact their children because they had to go through their nannies.

“But the situation should have been like that of Derek Ramsay and Ellen Adarna, John Lloyd Cruz would direct the child to Ellen Adarna and sometimes ate Cristy, Derek would bring the child, giving it to (Lloydie). That’s how it should be,” Morly explained.

Derek was the one who let JLC ​​into his house when he picked up Elias Modesto on their father-son bonding day.

Nay Cristy added, “If you’re always embarrassed, would you want to call again to embarrass yourself, everyone has pride, right?”

Morly’s point of view is that this is the perfect time for Josh and Bimb’s fathers to call, especially since their mother is sick.

“They should lose their pride, not just kuya Ipe and James, for their children,” emphasized the co-host of ‘Nay Cristy and Romel.

The FLAG is open on Kris’s side or her camp and it is also for James and kuya Ipe to come to an understanding.
