Kris Aquino defends Bimby’s ‘Villar’ reference
Baby James Yap’s “sumpong” strikes big time on national TV: He shouted “Villar!” during one of the sorties of his uncle Noynoy Aquino.
Queen of All Media Kris Aquino defended her son’s unexpected reference to Noynoy’s closest rival at the polls, Manny Villar, by saying via Twitter on April 5, “Nag naughty sya kasi 10th event namin that day- pagod na.”
Footage from “TV Patrol World” aired that day showed Kris on stage with her youngest son in front of thousands of Bacolod residents.
“Hello… Villar!” Baby James greeted the crowd.
“Hi…” the crowd responded.
To which Baby James shouted “Villar!” which sent the crowd roaring in laughter and a dumbfounded Kris turning him away from the stage.
The TV host and actress said she has apologized to her presidential aspirant brother and elder sisters after the incident.
“Nag sorry ako to Noy & my sisters right away & they told me siempre he's 2 yrs old- terrible 2s. Moral of the story- we let him be 2 while guiding him to be a good boy,” her second tweet read.
Her two-year old son with cager James Yap whom they fondly call “Bimby” seems to enjoy his own spotlight these days. Aside from public appearances in Noynoy’s sorties, he is cast as Kris’ son on the Kapamilya primetime soap, “Kung Tayo’y Magkakalayo.”
After the show, though, he will have to set aside showbiz for studies, Kris added.
“Mom (late President and democracy icon Cory Aquino) always told me to let Bimby have a normal childhood, so after his KTM stint [ay] focus on preschool na sya.”
