BIMBY AQUINO – At 18, Bimby Aquino believes that serving the public is not just a plan but a true calling and destiny he feels ready to embrace.
Bimby Aquino Yap, son of renowned television personality Kris Aquino, recently marked a major milestone as he joyfully celebrated his 18th birthday. Surrounded by family and close friends, Bimby welcomed adulthood with excitement and a clear sense of purpose for his future.
Now officially an adult, Bimby is setting his sights on an ambitious path. In a candid interview with entertainment reporter Ogie Diaz, he revealed that he dreams of entering the world of politics.

Kris Aquino, famously dubbed the “Queen of All Media,” expressed her full support for her son’s aspirations. She described Bimby as someone who wants to learn how to engage with all kinds of people. Kris emphasized his honesty, strong moral compass, and ability to budget wisely—qualities she believes are essential for any public servant.

Reflecting on his upbringing, Kris humbly credited the many mentors and supportive people who helped raise Bimby. “It takes a village,” she said, noting that even as a young man, Bimby continues to respectfully call his mentors “Tito” and “Tita.”
Now stepping into adulthood, Bimby is also beginning to explore the realm of love. Kris revealed that she is open to her son entering a relationship and even admitted that she already has someone in mind whom she believes would be a great match for him.
