To which, Aquino answered that it was when she asked Bimby to do something that was really hard for him.</p><p>“I’ve been doing this movie and there are certain things in that movie, there was a line there na na-affect po talaga ako. My proudest moment for you is that I said to you, ‘How could I effectively deliver those lines if I can’t make it true in my heart, right?’ There was a message there about forgiveness, about doing forgiveness not because you’re doing it for another person but you’re doing it for yourself because it’s a gift,&quot; Aquino said.</p><p>“Ultimately, mabigat mabuhay na may bitbit ka ng sama ng loob. So I was asking you if we could do something privately, a Father’s Day video that I wanted to send your dad. I knew you did it because I asked you because I really want peace. But I also saw how much you couldn’t handle it after. It will come,” the host-actress continued.</p><p>As far as she is concerned, Aquino said the very fact that Bimby tried is already more than enough.</p><p>“Hindi ka pa handa. I’ll give you that. You deserve that,” she said. “Please don’t ever feel na si mama ang nagpe-prevent sa &#x27;yo, na it’s out of loyalty for me or anything like that, because your mama is ready.”</p><p>Aquino said she had to do a lot of reckoning lately and that made her realize that Bimby is lucky to still have a father who is alive.</p><p>“It’s up to him (Yap) now. I hope he will reach out. I am also not gonna force you to be the one to reach out. Sinasabi ko lang na na-realize ng mama mo &#x27;yun, maraming natutunan ang mama mo this whole month that passed. I learned,” she said.</p><p>Towards the latter part of the video, Aquino also shared a meaningful message to single parents like her.</p><p>“Kung kaya pang ayusin at meron pang love na natitira, but more than that, kung may respeto pa, fix it while you still can. You’ll do that because you love your kids… If it cannot work, strive for peace,” she said. </p><p>Yap and Aquino&#x27;s relationship and subsequent feud have made headlines time and again since they got married in 2005, from their secret wedding to separation and court battles involving their annulment and visitation rights to Bimby.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/04/21/18/im-not-done-kris-aquino-continues-to-take-shots-at-james-yap">&#x27;I&#x27;m not done&#x27;: Kris Aquino continues to take shots at James Yap</a></li></ul><p>This most recent episode was spurred when Yap greeted Bimby on his birthday, which Aquino apparently saw as a swipe at her, as the Rain or Shine player noted he hasn&#x27;t seen his son in a long time.</p>
