The gathering took place weeks after Aquino’s son returned home to the Philippines to reunite with his older brother Josh and their family.
Bimby’s father, basketball player James Yap, earlier spoke about their “renewed relationship” in a Philippine Daily Inquirer interview, in which he shared that he’d been “praying” to hear from his son after “eight years.”
“I’m super happy to hear from Bimb after eight years. I’ve been praying for this day to come. Na-miss ko sobra si Bimb! It’s the best Father’s Day gift ever. He said that he is looking forward to seeing his brother MJ again and [meeting] his sister Francine soon. He wished me luck in my new career as a public servant,” he was quoted as saying. /ra
