Richard Yap Finally Releases DNA Test Results of His Child with Heart Evangelista

After weeks of silence and speculation from the public, Richard Yap has finally released the results of a DNA test that would answer the lingering question about his paternity of Heart Evangelista’s unborn child.

In an official statement released today through his legal team, the actor confirmed that he is indeed the biological father of the child. According to the document submitted to the media, the DNA test was conducted at a reputable independent laboratory in Singapore to ensure fairness and avoid any manipulation.

The results showed a 99.99% probability that Richard Yap is the father of the child, based on a prenatal DNA test taken from the amniotic fluid of the fetus.

“There is nothing more to hide. I did this not for myself but for the child Heart and I share — for their right to be recognized and to have an identity worth fighting for,” said Richard.

Alongside the release of the results, Richard once again affirmed his commitment to take full responsibility for the child and fulfill his role as a father in every necessary way. The actor also expressed hope that the speculations would now come to an end and that the dignity of their child would be restored despite the controversy and backlash.

“The situation is far from perfect, but I will do what’s right,” he added.

Meanwhile, Heart Evangelista has yet to issue an official statement regarding the release of the DNA results, while Senator Chiz Escudero remains silent on the matter. As legal proceedings and investigations continue, many are hoping that this controversial issue will eventually reach a peaceful resolution — now centered more than ever on the rights and future of the child.

Following the release of the DNA results, Richard received praise from some of his supporters for being open and courageous in facing the issue publicly. Many netizens expressed respect for the actor for owning up to his responsibilities and standing firm as a father.

However, critics were not absent — some argued that both Richard and Heart should still be held accountable for any possible legal consequences arising from their relationship.

Despite everything, it is clear that Richard’s primary goal is to show both the public and his child that he is ready to embrace fatherhood, regardless of the controversy.
