After Kris Aquino's revelations, it's Mrs. Yap's turn to air her side on the most talked about topic in the country. Right at the start of her interview, Mrs Yap declares that is not aware of what was going on with Kris and her son. She does not know that they were having marital problems that were too big to handle. Her initial declaration for me renders her whole interview useless and irrelevant. Why should her statements be given much attention and importance when she herself admit she knows nothing of the couple's problems ? But the stupidity in me made me listen to Mrs. Yap's whole interview.
One very revealing detail in the interview is Mrs. Yap's admission that her son got a girl pregnant and abandoned her afterwards. This revelation speaks of the type of person that James Yap truly is. That is, James Yap easily gives in to his desires but refuses to take responsibilty for it.
Before the interview ended, James Yap's coach and teammates expressed their support for the beleaguered basketball superstar. I can't help but think that the show of support is a ploy to deflect negative impression. It is a form of damage control for the basketball player. After all, the PBA and B-Meg can ill-afford to lose fans all because of James Yap's indiscretions. But the truly discerning can see through the ploy. The fact is, James Yap conveniently plays the role of a man who tries to save his family but in reality is the one who destroys it.
