James Yap reacts to son Bimby's bashers


MANILA, Philippines -- PBA superstar James Yap merely shrugged off online comments of his son’s detractors.

For Yap, there are those who are out to criticize whatever he does -- and that this applies to his son Bimby as well, now that the boy is pursuing an acting career.

“Ganyan naman talaga, hindi mo hawak ang pag-iisip ng mga tao. Iki-criticize ka kahit ano ka,” said Yap. “Pero for me, wala namang problema. Kasi ako 'yung tatay na kung ano 'yung gusto ng anak ko, susuportahan ko.”

“Kung basketball man 'yan o showbiz, basta masaya siya sa ginagawa niya, 'yun ang importante,” he added.

His former wife, actress-TV host Aquino, recently lashed against online bullies for calling their son "toyab," the inverted form of "bayot," which is the Visayan word for gay.

The netizens made the comment after Aquino posted Bimby's birthday greeting for his "The Amazing Praybeyt Benjamin" co-star Alex Gonzaga.

"Alam niyo kung balak nyong bastusin ang anak ko, do it ng harap harapan. Kasi hindi ko kayo aatrasan. Super nag PRAY ako today, Pero kahit sinong naany kung anak na 7 years old ang aapihin, papatol at handang RUMESBAK," Aquino wrote on her Instagram page.
