MANILA, Philippines – A sensational claim has recently circulated online, asserting that “Queen of All Media” Kris Aquino has “given her last will and testament” to her ex-husbands, Phillip Salvador and James Yap, amidst her ongoing health struggles. This dramatic headline has caused considerable buzz and concern among her followers. However, based on available information from reputable sources, there is no official confirmation or credible report to support this particular claim.

Kris Aquino has been very public about her challenging battle with multiple rare autoimmune diseases, sharing raw and honest updates about her physical pain and the toll her illnesses have taken. Her focus, as consistently expressed in her social media posts and interviews, remains on her fight for recovery and her deep love and concern for her two sons, Josh (with Phillip Salvador) and Bimby (with James Yap).

Understanding Wills and Inheritance in the Philippines

In the Philippines, a Last Will and Testament is a legal document that dictates how a person’s assets and properties will be distributed after their death. Typically, this document is held by the testator (the person making the will) or their designated legal counsel, or sometimes deposited with a court. The primary beneficiaries of a will are almost always the direct heirs, such as children and the surviving spouse, as per Philippine inheritance laws which designate them as “compulsory heirs” entitled to a “legitime” (a reserved portion of the estate).

It is highly unusual, and not standard legal practice, for a person to give their last will and testament directly to ex-spouses, especially when their children are the direct heirs. While former spouses may have specific arrangements regarding child support or co-parenting, they are generally not the primary beneficiaries of a will unless there are specific, highly unusual circumstances outlined therein, which would still need to adhere to the rights of compulsory heirs.

Kris Aquino’s Relationship with Her Ex-Partners

Kris Aquino has two sons: Joshua “Josh” Aquino Salvador with actor Phillip Salvador and James Carlos “Bimby” Aquino Yap Jr. with basketball star James Yap. While her relationships with both men ended, she has maintained varying degrees of co-parenting relationships, particularly with James Yap concerning Bimby’s upbringing. Reports indicate that Bimby has been “rebuilding his relationship” with his father, James Yap. Her relationship with Phillip Salvador, though less publicly documented in recent years, revolves around their shared son, Josh.

However, these co-parenting relationships do not imply that her ex-husbands would be the recipients or custodians of her last will and testament. Kris’s primary concern and the focus of any such legal document would undoubtedly be the welfare and inheritance of her sons.

The Power of Unverified Viral Claims

The headline “KRIS AQUINO, NAGBIGAY NA NG LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT SA KANYANG EX-HUSBAND NA SINA PHILIP AT JAMES !” is characteristic of clickbait content often found on social media and unverified news platforms. These types of headlines are designed to provoke strong reactions and generate high engagement, often without factual basis.

Official announcements regarding Kris Aquino’s legal or health status are typically made through her verified social media accounts, her legal counsel, or reputable news organizations. As of the current time, no such confirmation has come from any credible source regarding her last will and testament being given to Phillip Salvador or James Yap.

Conclusion: No Credible Evidence

While Kris Aquino’s health struggles are a reality that naturally leads to discussions about her future and her sons’ well-being, the claim that she has “given her last will and testament” to her ex-husbands, Phillip Salvador and James Yap, lacks any credible evidence or official confirmation. Any such arrangements would likely be handled through her legal team, with her sons as the direct and primary beneficiaries.

The public is urged to be critical of sensational headlines and to rely on verified information from official sources when it comes to sensitive personal matters of public figures.
