On Kris Aquino’s marital woes and near-labor
I would not want Cathy to be Kris Aquino right now.
The wildly popular Philippine television personality almost went into labor yesterday, complaining of stomach pain that, according to The Buzz co-host Boy Abunda, doctors claimed was false labor brought about by stress.
Aquino was ordered to get immediate bed rest for the next few days, and virtually ordered to avoid any contact with media, resulting in her complete media blackout, including reading tabloids and watching television.
The reason for the stress? Aquino’s husband, basketball player James Yap, has been accused of having an affair with a beauty clinic facial attendant going by the name of as Hope, who appeared on the GMA-7 talk show Star Talk to reveal details of her purported affair with Yap. A full interview with Hope is scheduled to air on Saturday.
While this is none of my business, I will say three things:
- Yap has admitted to ‘mistakes,’ but what these mistakes are and the extent of the mistake are not known, so I suggest we just let James and Kris be, and instead pray they can work things out.
- Marital infidelity is a serious, serious issue - but staying by an unfaithful man shows a strength of character rare in these times. I applaud Kris’ decision to try and work it out.
- Aquino’s daily shooting schedule, while not as hectic as others’, is very taxing for a woman in her sixth month of pregnancy. She doesn’t need the extra cash; ABS-CBN and her brother Noynoy, for whom she promised to campaign, should allow her to take time off to devote herself to enjoying the last few months of pregnancy. Take a tip from Sharon Cuneta when she was pregnant, Kris, and rest. Your brother should win on his own, and Channel 2 should come up with something new. Nothing is worth losing your baby and/or your marriage.
Some people, including my wife, are not fans of Kris Aquino. Me, I love the woman. So what is in her best interests, should, in my opinion, shape her activities for the next few months.
Rest, Kris, and work on your pregnancy and marriage. What do you say? Deal, or no deal?
Does Nathan know about Kris or are you intent on shielding him from the evils of the world? Hehe. Seriously, why the two of them are together is beyond me. Do they even communicate well? haha
Kris has, time and again, made mistakes with men - married men to be even, and I find it really sad that now that she’s decided to settle down and entered into a mature and loving relationship, this stuff happens. She’s not my most favorite person in the world (at least not always) and I do think that for a smart and powerful woman, she’s done a lot of stupid things, but she doesn’t deserve this. No woman deserves this.
Another thing, I find that what Hope is doing is in bad taste and has awful timing. Was she provoked into coming out? I dont know. But the woman she’s “attacking” is having a baby, if she was dying to tell the world her “affair” the least she could done was wait until Kris had given birth.
I completely agree with you, Vida. That woman, Hope, has no idea what she’s gotten herself into.
Just read the latest media buzz. Kris stands firm (good form). James Yap plans to sue (but the question from Kris is a tough one to answer). Hope isn’t sure if she’s pregnant.
The question I’m referring to was what Boy Abunda mentioned in The Buzz yesterday, supposedly Kris has asked or is asking James, if he knew that there was a person obsessed with/stalking him, why does he still go to that place where the person is (working)?
things happen for a reason so let’s help Kris and James by praying for them and with them.
To Kris and James,
After saying your piec on the matter, sleep tight, pray hard and look up everytime you feel the pain of what is happening to you.
Consider everything part of God’s plan so you’ll never forget that He’s up there looking after you.
Forget what they are saying at the moment.
Just pray and leave evrything to God.
