In a move that has surprised many and touched the hearts of even more, Kris Aquino, the Philippines’ “Queen of All Media,” has entrusted her last will and testament to her two former partners — Philip Salvador and James Yap. The decision, which Kris herself confirmed through a heartfelt message shared with close friends and family, has sparked an outpouring of emotion from netizens, celebrities, and longtime supporters.

A Life Under the Spotlight

Kris Aquino, daughter of democracy icons Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr. and former President Corazon Aquino, has lived almost her entire life in the public eye. From political royalty to showbiz superstar, her life has been a whirlwind of fame, heartbreak, resilience, and reinvention. Yet perhaps what has most endeared her to the public is her unfiltered honesty and her fierce devotion to her children, Josh and Bimby.

Throughout her career, Kris has never shied away from sharing her personal struggles—be it health, heartbreak, or betrayal. But in recent years, her battle with multiple autoimmune conditions has kept her largely out of the spotlight. She has been undergoing treatments both locally and abroad, sharing only occasional updates on social media about her health, often accompanied by heartfelt reflections and appeals for prayers.

A Legacy of Love

According to sources close to the Aquino family, Kris made the decision to entrust her last will to Philip Salvador, the father of her eldest son Josh, and James Yap, the father of Bimby, after much reflection. Despite past conflicts and public controversies involving both men, Kris is said to have chosen peace over pain—for the sake of her children.

“Kris has always put her sons first,” said a family insider. “She knows that whatever happens, she wants the two most important men in her children’s lives to protect their future—even if they’re no longer a part of her present.”

While details of the will remain private, it is believed that Kris’s decision to involve both Philip and James is rooted in her desire to ensure a harmonious transition of responsibilities should anything happen to her. This includes matters related to her estate, custody and care of her children, and the handling of her legacy both as a public figure and a mother.

From Pain to Peace

It’s no secret that Kris’s relationships with Philip and James had their fair share of turmoil. Her breakup with Philip Salvador was marred by controversy, while her separation from James Yap made tabloid headlines for years. And yet, despite the wounds of the past, Kris’s gesture seems to reflect a profound act of forgiveness, maturity, and acceptance.

Fans have taken to social media to praise Kris’s decision, calling it “courageous,” “humbling,” and “inspiring.” Many noted how rare it is for someone with such a complicated romantic history to take such a step—especially in a culture where pride and pain often get in the way of reconciliation.

“Only a mother can love this deeply,” wrote one fan on Twitter. “Kris chose not for herself, but for Josh and Bimby. That’s real strength.”

The Road Ahead

Kris Aquino continues to fight her health battle with the same grit and grace that has defined her public life. In one of her recent updates, she thanked her followers for their unceasing prayers and support, admitting that her journey has been “painful but enlightening.”

“I am ready for whatever God wills,” she wrote in a post. “But I still pray for more time… more memories with my sons… more laughter, more love.”

As she quietly prepares for the unknown, Kris’s latest decision may very well be her most meaningful legacy—a final act not of surrender, but of hope, trust, and boundless maternal love.
