Alleged Illegitimate Son of Richard Yap Files Paternal Suit Against Him
The alleged ‘illegitimate son’ of actor Richard Yap has filed a paternal suit against him amid his cyberlibel case.
Actor Richard Yap is currently in court after being sued by Joshua Paolo Jensen, who claims to be his father’s abandoned son. Yap allegedly abandoned Jensen, so she filed a lawsuit at Regional Trial Court Branch 22 in Cebu City.
Niña Mabatid, a councilor for Cebu City, shared the pre-trial brief between Jensen and Yap. Jensen claims that he repeatedly challenged Yap to submit to a DNA test, but the actor allegedly declined.
“Alam naman naten yung totoo, hindi mo lang matanggap sa sarili mo. hinahamon kita mag pa DNA test, ayaw mo. bakit? takot ka malaman nilang lahat?” Jensen said.
“Sana naman mag pakalalaki ka kahit minsan lang, alam mo matagal ka na namin hinahanap para makausap ng mayos, kaso wala e, puro ka iwas. hinintay mo pa dumating sa puntong to. ngayong dumating na, siguro oras na din para mag kaharap kaharap tayo, para malaman na din nila kung ano ba talaga yung totoo. wag ka mag alala. si lord na bahala sa lahat,” he added.
The Jensen case occurred as the actor was already involved in a cyberlibel lawsuit he had brought against a political foe. Richard accused former Cebu City Councilor Prisca Nia Mabatid of two counts of cyberlibel.
This comes after the latter leveled allegations against him, including that he had an illegitimate son and had allegedly used public monies to support his congressional campaign. You might recall that Yap disputed that Jensen was his son in 2021.
