Kris Aquino has nothing but pride for her son Bimby, who seemed to have marked the celebration of Father’s Day by taking the “first step towards rebuilding [his] relationship” with his dad, basketball player-politician James Yap.

The Queen of All Media disclosed this but opted not to name Yap, through an Instagram post on Monday, June 19.

“No names shall be named BUT it will be easy for you to figure out. Maraming pinagdaanan, maraming hindi pagkakaunawaan pero ayokong masabi na pinipigilan ko si Bimb,” Kris said. “My own childhood was fatherless because of Martial Law so why’d I subject my bunso (youngest child) to the same fate?”

“From the time Bimb was 8, he had the freedom to decide. Now at 16 I told him, ‘When someone reaches out after [seven] years, and there’s a chance for PEACE, then everyone WINS,’” she continued.
