TV host Kris Aquino has publicly announced that she and husband, cager James Yap want to have another child.

“I talked to James about it after my mom’s funeral and before he left for China,” Kris said on “Showbiz News Ngayon” on Aug. 10. “[Then nung] nagpunta si Dr. Pastorfide [Kris’ OB-Gyne] sa wake and sabi ko sa kanya, ‘Doc, kaya mo ba akong alagaan?’ Kasi talagang nararamdaman ko, kung walang sister si Josh at si Baby James…iba talaga ‘yung meron kang kapatid [na babae] na masasandalan.”

Kris added their desire to have another child is really for Josh, Kris’ son with action-drama star Phillip Salvador.

“Josh has special needs. Grabe ‘yong burden kay Baby James, so sana madagdagan (ng baby). If it’s God’s will.

“I’ve talked to James [about having another baby] and sabi niya, ‘Sigurado  ka?’ Kasi, knowing me nga, most likely [ay] mga four months, five months na bed rest ‘yan. Pero sinabi ko sa kanya, ‘Habang kaya pa, subukan natin.’

“And kasi, gusto ko sana , if mom’s listening or dad’s listening, we’ll have us sana a girl para ‘yung sister, aalagaan in the same way na tina-try kong alagaan si Noy.

“Iba talaga kung may sister ka, and sana mabigyan ko ng sister si Josh at si Baby James.”

What if it’s another boy?

“Okay lang din. Gusto ko [lang] sana, maging tatlo ang anak ko. Sana.”
