James Yap's petition for visitation rights granted by the court

Contrary to the initial reports of some movie reporters, the court hearing yesterday was just for the petition of
James Yap for visitation rights to his son, Baby James.

Here is the excerpt of the news:


A Makati City court granted Friday the request of basketball player James Yap, estranged husband of celebrity and TV host Kris Aquino, to visit their three-year-old son Baby James.
Lawyer Lorna Kapunan said the court allowed his client to be with his son on Wednesdays at 2-8 p.m. where James could bring his son to watch the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) games; and overnight stay from Friday to Saturday.
The estranged couple attended the three-hour closed-door hearing at the sala of Judge Cristina J. Sulit, Makati City Regional Trial Court (RTC) after several months of not seeing each other.
Both Yap and Aquino were accompanied by their lawyers. Also seen after the hearing was Ballsy Cruz, Aquino’s elder sister.
Kapunan described the settlement of the couple as amicable while they try to resolve the details of Yap's visitation rights over their child.
“The resolution took time because the judge talked with them together and separately a number of times,” said Kapunan.
