Kris Aquino gives Cartier necklace to ‘Yaya’ Bincai
The Queen of All Media, known for being a very generous person especially to those people who are close to her heart, gave her sons’s nanny, ‘Yaya’ Bincai, a Cartier necklace as a way to express her love and gratitude.
Kris Aquino’s family is currently in Japan to celebrate her eldest son Josh’s 23rd birthday. Josh is Kris’s son to actor Philip Salvador.
In a video posted on Monday, June 4, Kris told Josh to put the necklace, which has a pendant with three intertwined hearts and a hole in the middle, around his nanny’s neck. As Josh followed her mom’s instruction, Kris then jested: “Bincai will never be married. Yehey!”
The TV host said that according to the godmother of her employer, Jack Salvador, there is a Japanese belief that a heart with a hole in the middle “will never give a single woman lasting love.”
Bincai’s older sisters, Gerbel and Raquel, left Kris’s household as both of them tied a knot in October 2015 and January 2018, respectively. Gerbel and Raquel were nannies of Kris’s youngest son, Bimby.
“I’ve had this @cartier necklace for several years- and double purpose na (already), to show Bincai our love and gratitude and to make sure she stays with us for many more years,” Kris wrote.
Kris then mentioned the efforts made by Bincai just to take care of her and her sons.
“It was her discipline that made Kuya [Josh] lose the 140 lbs,” she said.
“And on her weekends off when Raquel calls her because my BP [blood pressure] goes haywire or my allergies act up, she immediately cuts short her rest to take care of me,” she added.
The actress thanked her Yaya Bincai for truly loving her family, adding that she could not be a mom she is today without her support system.
The necklace that Kris gave to Bincai is one of Cartier’s Trinity Collection.
In the luxury brand’s website, there are two heart-shaped Trinity necklace: the one with less diamond is worth $4,400 (around P224,000), while the other that has diamonds covering the three hearts costs $7,200 (P367,200).
According to Philippine Entertainment Portal’s (Pep.ph) report, Bincai has the Cartier necklace worth $7,200.
