Kris Aquino and James Yap's separation: Their marriage is over

Anyone who has watch Sunday's The Buzz probably knows the news. Kris Aquino and James Yap have already decided to separate - not temporarily, not on a whim, not separate beds but separate lives. Kris stated on The Buzz, "Sumuko na'ko."

That's all we know and that's all we need to know. Kris is not going to let the whole country into the details of their marital problems. She only explained that she and James Yap have already tried so hard to fix the problems in their relationship for the sake of Baby James and Josh. We all know that. Kris Aquino has said numerous times that she will do her best to save her marriage because she wants a father for her kids.

But it seems that this is the really the end of the road for Kris Aquino and James Yap.

We all know she's the drama queen. But watching her on The Buzz last Sunday... you can feel that her words were said with caution and her decision was given with much thought. This is not another whim from an immature relationship. I thought, when I watched her, this could be one of the rare times I saw her with much maturity.

What happened?

We all want to know that. I bet all people would speculate. We would go back to James Yap's links with other women - that employee from Dr. Vicky Belo's office (what's her name again?) and Mayen Austria in Valle Verde.

Personally - I think Kris Aquino has done a lot for her marriage. She quit the movies to give time to her family. She refused any kissing scene for James' sake. Well maybe she worked a little too hard in the past months to aid her brother Noynoy in the campaigns. But what is wrong with that? I imagine maybe she lost time for her family juggling work and campaigns - doesn't anybody realize how hard that is? I bet she's really exhausted by now. Really.

On the other hand, we don't know James' side. We don't know for sure what really happened. We all know... it's really sad. The news could make it to the headlines of Inquirer or The Philippine Star if it could. Despite being herself, we all want Kris Aquino to finally settle down with a good marriage, right? Afterall, we would all be spared from her love-drama when that happens.

*Kris Aquino also said goodbye to The Buzz. She quit from being the show's host to minimize complaints about her and her tactless self and not cause further embarassment to her brother, Noynoy.s
