James Yap gave a short but heartfelt message for his son Bimby Aquino Yap who just celebrated his 11th birthday on April 19.
In his Instagram post on Thursday, he assured Bimby that he would always be there for him even if they don’t each other often.
“Happy birthday Bimb! I miss you and think about you everyday. Alam ko na ang tagal na natin di nakapagspend ng time together, at di nagkikita, but i want you to know that I’m always here for you. I will always be your papa. I hope you enjoy your birthday!” he wrote.
Yap now has a new family with Italian girlfriend Michela Cazzola, who is pregnant, and their firstborn son.
Even after his separation from his ex-wife, actress and host Kris Aquino, conflict would still arise between them.

However, despite their misunderstandings, there had been times that Aquino paid tribute to Yap. Among those times was when she saluted Yap on Father’s day last year for giving her Bimby.
