WTF?
James Yap is my favorite basketball player. He's so good that I pay good money to see him play live, and millions of other Purefoods fans feel the same way too. We almost creamed our collective pants when we drafted him last year, knowing he'd follow in the footsteps of and be as special as Alvin Patrimonio.Well, just how well did he follow Alvin's footsteps? He's marrying Alvin's first celebrity girlfriend, Kris Aquino. Here's an item from Philstar (which I'm pasting here because Philstar sucks and their pages expire overnight:
Kris confirms she’ll marry PBA cager
By Ricky Lo
The Philippine Star 06/03/2005
Kris Aquino has confirmed that she and Purefoods small forward James Yap are planning to get married. Here’s Kris’ reaction to yesterday’s Funfare story, texted from Hong Kong, where she and son Joshua are celebrating his birthday:
"I think the best thing we can say is that we are happily committed and engaged, we want to share the future together and our families are aware that we would want to marry within a year. Most likely early 2006."
Kris’ mom, former President Corazon Aquino, reportedly approves of the wedding because James is single, unlike Kris’ past relationships (Joey Marquez, Phillip Salvador, Alvin Patrimonio and Robin Padilla, who are all married).
Sources say a prenuptial agreement will be discussed, much like the one between Sen. Kiko Pangilinan and Sharon Cuneta before they got married years back.
Kris and James met through their manager, Dondon Monteverde. They have been going steady since May 4.
The couple has at least a ten-year gap between them, since James is 23 and Kris is in her mid-30s.
James, who is 6’3" tall, is a product of the UE Warriors and was proclaimed MVP. He also played for Welcoat in the Philippine Basketball league and was a member of the Philippine national team that won the gold medal in the 2003 Southeast Asian Games in Hanoi, Vietnam.
As a San Miguel Beer endorser, Kris’ contract reportedly prohibits her from being romantically linked to any other man. Before James, Kris was romantically linked to cager Rommel Adducul.
Also, there was this item forwarded on the Purefoods mailing list:
Kris at James kasal na?

Kaliwat'kanan tanong ang tinanggap namin ngayon tungkol sa lumalabas na kwentong nagpakasal na sina Kris Aquino at James Yap ng Purefoods. Ayon sa kwento ay nanggaling ang impormasyon sa isang empleyado ng Quezon City Hall, nagpakasal daw sa huwes ang aktres-tv host at ang basketbolista, Mrs. Yap na raw ngayon si Kris.
Ang kaya lang namin sabihin ay ang kung anong alam namin, totoong magkarelasyon na ngayon sina Kris and James, opisyal na nagsimula noong May 4. Tungkol sa usapin na pagpapakasal ay wala pang sinasabi sa amin si Kris, napakaimposible naman na sa mga usapan naming oras ang binibilang ay hindi niya yun nababanggit sa amin, kung totoo man.
At hindi rin kami magtatakang magtanong sa kanya, mas gusto namin kay Kris magmula ang katotohanan, alam naming magsasabi siya ng totoo. Nung isang araw lamang ay tinawagan kami ni Kris, mahabang-mahaba ang aming pag-uusap at malalalim ang aming paksa, alam naming gumagana ng wasto ang kanyang utak sa mga panahon ngayon. Umaasa kami.
Like, eww.
I think Jona put it best: "(Mag-aasawa na rin lang ng celeb) gurang pa at may anak na... at may pagka-lokaret!"

pag basahin mo 'tong blog mo parang napakarami kong opinyon. . . pero sa totoo lang, kung manahimik na si kris dito, this will be good for all of us. . . nang mawala na siya sa headlines at totoong balita na pag-usapan ng mga tao instead of what the heck she's up to now. . .

The explosion of messages in view of this blog entry reeks of the mental, rational & moral erosion characteristic of Filipinos instrumental at plunging the Philippines to her further decline & oblivion. Such a landslide of divisiveness, envy & crab mentality are fixtures that continually fertilize the country's grip & stagnation at underdevelopment.
In agricultural parlance, however, such untoward factors are the ones responsible in the fixation of fertilizers. Meaning, the fertilizers' innate chemical compounds, minerals & nutrients are irreversibly rendered unavailable in the process to the malnourishment of its host or beneficiary, which are supposedly the plants, and in this case, the Philippines.
More dismal is that, such weeds or species do not only wreck havoc on the entire stature of the host plant or country, chemically as explained above, but physically as well as they force the host plant or country to further inutility by further galvanizing or compacting the plant or the country to such miserable stagnation.
Hence, before such tribe increases, fumigants, pesticides & bactericides must take their toll at these destructive & divisive shenanigans fast & quick before they occupy & harass the world.
Congrats to the lovely duo of Kris Aquino & James Yap, you certainly deserve happiness & each other that we can't wait to see the two of you walk down the isle, C-H-E-E-R-S!!!!!!!

Dude, I think this same guy commented on my friend's blog. I want to spark a flame war now! ^_^ It's hilarious. Akala mo pinapakain o sinusweldohan siya ni Kris para ipagtanggol niya nang ganito (malay natin, gan'on nga pala). Hehe.

Before anything else, I'd like to congratulate you for your matured approach to my comments previously. Likewise, my smirk, rather, my appreciation for espousing as well your vivid exponential "conspiracy theory" of the Showbiz-Sports-Television triangle currently. Why oh why would some ideas fly, while others die!!!!

Mr. Valmoria puedi po ba na tigilan nyo pagiging dramatic nyo? Tingnan nyo ho ang totoong dahilan ng pagbagsak ng bansa. Mga taong kagaya nyo ho ang dahilan kasama ang libu-libong iba pa na dinu-Dyos ang mga artista. Mga utak nyo at ng mga taong ganyan ang walang ibang laman kundi mga artista na wala rin namang alam at puro pagkaka-pera lang ang gusto.
Wag ka hong magdrama ng crab mentality dahil ikaw ang meron nyan!
