James Yap: Mayen is not my girlfriend
MANILA, Philippines - Star cager James Yap, husband of host-actress Kris Aquino, has broken his silence on the "confrontation" between his wife and a female fan, Mayen Austria.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Yap spoke about the incident and defended his wife against her critics. He also stressed that Mayen is not his girlfriend.
"Hindi naman totoo 'yon, hindi naman totoo. Siyempre lumalabas na naman ngayon na babae ko 'yon. Hindi ko naman mabi-blame si Kris na mag-react ng ganoon. May karapatan naman si Kris na mag-react ng ganoon dahil asawa niya ako," Yap said.
It was the second time that the Yap couple's love troubles have made headlines. In 2007, they went through a rough patch after Yap was rumored to have had a romantic affair with Hope Centeno, one of the receptionists at the Belo Medical Clinic then. Yap denied the rumors.
In an interview over "The Buzz," Aquino recounted what happened during the day of her encounter with Austria.
She said she was having lunch with Yap in their home when Yap's phone rang.
"When he answered, I heard a girl crying. I could hear their conversation because it was quiet in the house. Sinasabi noong girl, ginawa ko naman lahat... then James answered na kung ayaw sa ‘yo, 'wag mo pagpilitan ang sarili mo," Aquino narrated.
She said she asked Yap who called and he told her that it was Austria.
"Sabi ni James nagsabi sa kanya na iniwan daw ng isang guy and 'di alam ang gagawin. I asked him kung kilala niya iyong guy, he said no. So nagtaka ako, I said bakit ikaw ang iniiyakan?"
"I pointed out to James it was not proper. Baka she (Austria) was under the illusion that I'm not real, that I'm just a TV personality. So gusto ko puntahan para pakita na flesh and blood ako… tao ako... at misis ako," Aquino added.
She said she went to see Austria, who lived two streets away from their house. She said she rang the doorbell and Austria's mom came out.
"I said ma'am, I wanted to let you know, your daughter has been calling my husband and I'm not comfortable about it," she said.
"Never ako nagmura, never nanlait. Pinaramdam ko lang ang aking displeasure, siyempre asawa ako," said Aquino.
Aquino moving out of the house
In the interview, Aquino divulged that she is moving out of the home she shares with husband Yap because of the said controversy.
Aquino said she and her two sons, Joshua and Baby James, will be staying with her elder sister Pinky for the meantime.
But she clarified she and Yap have not formally split up, and that they are just taking some time off to sort out their problems.
"I'm not saying that the marriage is over. In my heart, gusto ko the marriage to work for our kids. I'm not putting a period, I'm not saying this is the end of the road. I'm hoping and praying maayos namin lahat pero kailangan ko rin ng space," she told co-host Boy Abunda at The Buzz.
Aquino also said she still loves Yap no matter how rocky their marriage has been.
"I love him and he knows I still love him. I've never given him any reason to doubt my fidelity. I just want the same thing in return," she said.
"Hindi naman puwedeng ako lang ang nagmamahal… Ako lang umiintindi. It takes two for this marriage to work. I want him to make me feel I'm really (his) wife, that (he's) a responsible husband and a loving father and that this marriage has a future."
Apology
Aquino also took the opportunity to apologize to Austria's mother.
"Mrs. Austria, on behalf of my family, hindi naman nga po kayo ang nanggulo sa asawa ko, kaya humihingi ako ng tawad sa inyo, pati kayo nadamay dito.
"Hindi ko gustong saktan kayo, ang kagalit ko po ay iyong anak niyo."
Aquino reiterated that her conversation with Austria's mom was "very calm the whole time."

RE: Ride onnnn….yan ang best
Hoy Jerry Beho este Chan pala. Base sa mga sinabi mo eh mukhang GAGO ka pa sa akin. Hindi pa nangyari na naeskandalo ako dahil may ginawa akong ka-gaguhan ng tulad ng sinasabi mong ginawa mo kahit ordinaryong citizen din ako.
At sino naman ang nagsabi sa iyo na best fren tayo? Nagpapatawa ka? O eto para sa iyo tatawa ako. Hahahahahahah!
Beho! Hehehe.
Consider Wife's Feelings
In fairness to Kris, James should consider first his wife's feelings, more than that girl. I suggest he should not entertain it in the first place. Who is in the right mind to confide with a married man? Of course, put yourself in Kris shoes, you will feel the same way. If the husband cares about his wife, he should not entertain any calls at all, kahit pa nga fans niya iyon.
Husband and wife should sit down and discuss their problems, talk about kung ano ang ayaw at gusto nila sa isa't isa so they know what to expect from each other. Sometimes we expect too much from our husbands, and maybe he is not aware of it, kaya nagkaka-conflict. And sometimes, other family members like relatives mingle, so nadadagdagan pa ang problema. Kayo lang dalawa ang makaka-solve niyan, so you need to talk heart to heart.
Nadalicious
Ang hinahanap ko ay resulta. Yes may mga bills siya, pero authored ba niya lahat yan o co-author lang? And since hanggang ngayon ay hindi naging batas yan, ibig sabihin mahina yan. Importante sa akin ang resulta dahil ito ang tunay na basehan natin sa susunod na Presidente.
And regarding Baby James, I've said it many times. I said what I said. Hindi masasaktan ang bata sa sinabi ko at yun ay patungkol sa nanay niya hindi talaga sa bata. Nasa bata ang bola kung ano ang gagawin niya paglaki niya.
And you are right. Because if I'm not trying to be nice, baka umpisa pa lang sumuko ka na sa mga sasabihin ko. Okay, Kris and James na ulit ng maiba naman.
Too early
we have heard two sides of the story. I am sure new revelations will come out in the very near future. Both sides are claiming virtuous actions. So peeps..its still too early to make judgement. Stop..look and listen muna tayo.
let's all be fair kay kris,
let's all be fair kay kris, whether we like her or not... kahit sinong may common sense na misis mabo-bother pag may narinig na umiiyak na babaeng kausap ang mister nya... lalong-lalo na kung hindi nila ito common friend,(kahit common friend nga n babae di ba dapat sa friend na babae nagcoconfide ng problemag puso?)... sana, bago nagpaka-feeling close itong girl na ito kay james,nag isip muna sya para at least, hindi sya naka-create ng tensyon dun sa pagsasama nung mag asawa. tama lang naman na ma-bother si kris... sana lang mas maging sensitive hindi lang si james yap kundi ang mga mister, in general sa feelings ng mga misis nila. maganda na ikonsidera ang feelings ng ibang tao, pero sana, wag kalimutan ikonsidera unang-una ang feelings ng misis (or partner) nyo.
Ride onnnn….yan ang best
Ride onnnn….yan ang best friend ko… sorry po pero itong best fren ko si Psylom madalas po kasi gago ito… madalas siya magsalita ng hindi niya alam at pag corner na ay i-twist niya ang kuwento para ma-confuse ang kausap… he he he galing mo talaga best fren… tunay na maka-villar itong si best fren kasi idol niya… he he he… kay kristeta… go go go.. it is your right to protect your family specially kung hindi nagagawa yan ng asawa mo... (pareho kayo ng wife ko he he he) sa mga nag-aambisyon kay james.. mag-U-turn na kayo at wag na kayo pumapasok sa one way kasi may pulis na sumusugod… at kung broken hearted kayo at gusto ninyo umiyak eh maraming balikat ang puweeedeng pagpunasan ng inyong mga luha… huwag na dun sa mga may asawa dahil kung minsan ay iba ang kinalalabasan (trabaho ko) he he he.. ang sarap yata mang-comfort ng broken hearted… yeeessss!!! minsan sa paghahanap ng totoong pag-ibig marami ang nadadapa (tulad nila)... at minsan ang mga naghahanap ng totoong pagmamahal ay napapagsamantalahan ng mga mamayakis (na tulad ko) so ano po ba ang bago??? Ngayon lang ba kayo nakadinig ng ganitong istorya?? Bakit ako hindi man lang nadiyaryo sa mga eskandalo na pinagdaanan ko??? kasi ordinary citizen lang po ako kaya walang media na nag-gagawa ng kani-kanilang kuwento… I hate cris… kasi she is so tat-tat-tat-tat-tat pero I like her kasi totoo siyang tao… kahit marami siyang eskandalo na pinagdaanan ay taas nuo siya humaharap sa tao at patuloy siya namumuhay para sa mahal niya sa buhay at isa pa sa tingin ko ay dito siya hinuhubog ni LORD para maging mabuting tao… nobody is perfect… lahat po tayo ay nagkakamali… minsan kailangan natin pagdaanan ang dark side para makita ang bright side… may purpose po ang lahat and sometimes that is also one of God’s way for us to be a better person… huwag po natin isarado ang ating isip as if na wala tayong pinag-aralan… si best fren lagi honor yan… Karma??? Unggoy lang ang kinakarma… naniniwala ba kayo dun??? Mas malinaw po siguro sabihin na hindi natin nagagawa ang tama sa ating buhay kaya palagi mali ang nangyayari… at pag palagi mali sinasabi natin na malas at pag grabe ay karma...yun lang po yun… dapat po siguro palagi tayo nag-iisip bago tayo kumilos left and right tinitingnan to avoid collision with others…
Don't stop being nice
I wasn't aware we were keeping points.
But, see? Naghahanap ka kasi ng kamalian at kapintasan, kaya hindi mo nakita yung mga hinahanap mo. At maski na naipakita na sa iyo, well, naghanap ka na naman ng panibagong kapintasan. Ganyan ka ba talaga? Hindi maganda yung masyadong pintasero.
And about Baby James, ayaw mo talagang aminin na mali yung isinulat mo, no? Well, wala akong magagawa.
But don't stop trying to be nice. Kasi, yan ngang nagta-try ka na eh mean ka pa rin, eh di lalo ka nang nakakatakot if you stop. ;-)
A big point for you is that you seem to be really passionate about this. That's really admirable. Even if you write stupid things. Ha ha! Joke.
Ayan, wala na yung topic sa main page. Lipat tayo dun kay Villar at ang pagsosoli niya ng 6B.
Hanggang ngayon hindi pa batas bills ni Noynoy?
Ah! You got me! Okay alright already. You got me there. But its not being stupid. I'm doing two things at the time. Working and commenting.
So okay salamat sa mga links. Ngayon ang mga tanong. Bakit bills pa rin ito hanggang ngayon? Wala ba ni isang bill na naging batas? Walang silbi yan kung hindi magiging batas di ba? So anong silbi ni Noynoy? Wala.
And for the last time, I said what I said. Hindi ko na nga inuungkat ang kay Baby James, ikaw lang ang banggit ng banggit. Why? Kasi hindi ka maka-score? O ayan naka-score ka sa mga links na hindi ko nakita. Score 1 for you. Unfortunately for you, mas mataas na score ko.
And I'm really trying to be nice. But I'm done with it. Your response?
And about Baby James
Correction Psylom, ikaw ang nag-ugnay ng issue na ito kay Noynoy. Tungkol kay Kris at pamilya niya ito, tapos pinasukan mo ng Noynoy. Ano ka ba? Hindi mo ba natatandaan mga isinusulat mo?
At kaya ko na-raise ulit yung kay Baby James, kasi ayaw mong i-acknowledge na mali ang pagdamay mo sa bata. Ipapasok mo yung bata, tapos akala mo kung sino ka na mag-predict na magiging masamang tao siya paglaki niya? Eh di ba naman ka-istupiduhan na yun? And you won't even acknowledge that it was wrong for you, or anybody else, to drag an innocent baby in the affairs of adults.
Ikaw eh. Sa sobrang asar mo over the fact na number 1 si Noynoy at malamang eh tatalunin niya si Siba at Taga Villar come election day, you resort to all the name-callings.
And you say you're being nice? Unbelievable.
Psylom, you are stupid
Sulat ni Psylom, "Bakit hindi naka-detalye ang mga ginawa niya? May bills or batas daw na ginawa. Nasaan? Bakit wala sa website!"
Diyos ko po. Kung ahas lang ang mga yan, nakagat at patay ka na ngayon.
Ayan ang profile ni Noynoy: http://www.noynoy.ph/main/about.php
Ayan ang bills ni Noynoy: http://www.noynoy.ph/main/bills.php
Ayan ang resolutions ni Noynoy: http://www.noynoy.ph/main/resolutions.php
Ayan ang issues ni Noynoy: http://www.noynoy.ph/main/issues.php
Lahat yan, nasa website. Sabi ko naman kasi mag-research ka! Eh ang hirap, bibig mo ang pinaghahanap mo! Putak ka nang putak!
Sasabihin mo na naman na mas lamang si Villar pagkatapos niyan. Sus. Experience at acheivements. Eh mas lamang nga si Gordon kay Villar o Noynoy, pero bakit di ka kay Gordon? Kase, alepores ka ni Siba at Taga.
Personal choice nga eh. Kung ayaw ng mga Pinoy sa magnanakaw, ano magagawa mo?
