“AWESOME! Kris Aquino’s SON, BIMBY, HAS STARTED SINGING and EVERYONE is SHOCKED by the COOL VOICE! Is it true that he has a PLAN TO ENTER SHOWBIZ as a SINGER? Watch the VIRAL VIDEO that proves that he is NOT JUST KRIS AQUINO’S SON!”

In the world of showbiz and music, we often see children of famous personalities whose careers are further enhanced by race or connections. But in this case, the story of 18-year-old Bimby Aquino‑Yap is more than just being born into a famous family. It is a story of hard work, change and success in a quiet way — and supported by showbiz icon mother Kris Aquino.
From Mother’s Love, To the Microphone
Kris Aquino, who has been battling her own illness for a long time and continues to face many challenges, did not hesitate to post on her Instagram a video in which Bimby sings “Ikaw Na Nga,” a classic song popularized by Willie Revillame. (Philstar)
In the caption, Kris said:
“My 18-year old has for now decided to continue with his singing lessons with Coach Thor (plus some superstar ‘titos’ who have volunteered to teach him about stage presence and how to make audience rapport fun for all).” (lionheartv.net)
“From the time he was 11, he’s been my companion every time I’ve had to be put to sleep for the numerous procedures I have undergone. A singing doctor—thank you hunny for being the embodiment of what mama had wished for.” (lionheartv.net)
This simple posting implied many things: this wasn’t just “training” for Bimby — it was part of a deeper story of family, responsibility, and hope.
Why Now?
Many are asking: why is this just now coming out? According to reports, Bimby has already enrolled in singing and stage presence classes under coach Thor Dulay, along with other “superstar titos” who are helping him not only sing, but also learn how to deal with an audience and be comfortable on stage.

In an article in the Pilipino Star Ngayon, it was said:
“Wow, Bimby Aquino has a voice.” (Philstar)
This shows that Bimby’s previous image as “the son of Kris Aquino and James Yap” is changing — he is now developing his own identity, and singing could be one of the ways to do this.
Not Just a Voice — Has a Historical Beloved
Behind the small voice that critics have offered as “cold” or “empty,” there is a larger context: Kris Aquino is a mother with a deep illness, and Bimby — at a young age — has been her support through many procedures, surgeries, and healing times. (lionheartv.net)
This responsibility is no joke. And now, Bimby’s singing is not just an “entrance” to the entertainment stage — it is literally shaping himself while serving as a loving son.
What is the outcome?
Bimby’s career path could take him in many directions: he could become a recording artist, he could become a host like his mother, or he could become a stage performer. But for now, what’s important is the process: the training, the preparation, the showing that he’s ready — and not just because of his name.
In the GMA Entertainment article:
“This video is about my 2 boys. And why I’m fighting for them.” — Kris Aquino (gmanetwork.com)
This shows that the story is not just about Bimby — it is also about Kris, their family, their fight.
Public Reaction
In Reddit threads about Bimby, some are defending, some questioning, some skeptical — but most are supportive. One user said:
“He really deserves to have a life outside of taking care of his mom… And he’s doing it purely out of love for his mom.” (Reddit)
This is important because Bimby’s image is not just as a showbiz privelege or a “nepo baby” — but as a person with a heart and a desire to build his own path.
Dealing with Criticism
Of course, there will always be comments like “his voice is cold,” “he’s not ready yet,” or “he’s always behind his mother.” But with his mother’s clarification and Bimby’s continued training, there is a clear message: he is ready to face the challenge — not as a monkey in the spotlight, but as a person with a purpose and a heart.
Why Is This Important?
In the end, the story of Bimby and Kris is not just showbiz news — it is a story of love, of awakening potential, and of facing fear. For young people with musical dreams, it is a reminder that there is a preparation phase; not everyone is at center stage right away. For artists and showbiz personalities, it is an example of establishing one’s own identity. And for those of us who follow, it is part of a larger understanding of life: there is a person behind the photo, there is strength behind the smile.
Preparing for the Future
The next steps for Bimby could be: a live performance, a recording session, a single or video release, and most of all — making a habit of interacting with the audience. Meanwhile, Kris continues to undergo medical treatment and recovery, and her care for her children is filled with gratitude and hope.
Conclusion
Kris Aquino’s son Bimby Aquino-Yap once again shows that in every family band, there is a new melody that can be sung. From his quiet acting as his mother’s caregiver to stepping into the microphone as a talent show host — his story is a reminder: you don’t have to be perfect right away, but it’s important to start, to persevere, and to face the world as yourself.
This is not the final chapter — this is the beginning of a phase where the “cold voice” will be replaced by the sound of dreams and resilience. And by his side: a mother who will continue to fight — not just for herself, but for her child who has discovered a voice and a heart ready to sing.
