Richard Yap, who rose to fame by playing Papa Chen in the hit series My Binondo Girl and now lightening up every morning  as Sir Chief in Be Careful With My Heart has signed a two-year exclusive contract with ABS-CBN last October 1.

Present in the contract signing are ABS-CBN President Charo Santos-Concio, business unit heads Ginny Monteagudo-Ocampo and Deo Endrinal and Channel Head Cory Vidanes.

Richard Yap is expected to join another TV series in the coming months (early reports claimed that he will be part of Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw, the teleserye of Kris Aquino, Anne Curtis and Robin Padilla). Aside from that, Papa Chen will also be having a movie under Star Cinema and a solo album.

Richard Yap can definitely sing evident in his Be Careful With My Heart album recordings so it was a nice move for Star Records to give him his solo album as he can cater to a variety of audience.

A former businessman, Richard now concentrates on his acting career. While considered a heartthrob by many, Papa Chen downplayed the term and said that he's just an ordinary handsome guy, kidding aside.

Richard said that his wife of 19 years, Melody is not jealous over the attention he is getting from female fans and has always been very supportive.

When asked if he is open to accept sexy roles, the 45-year-old actor said, “I think that would be a part of a destruction of my career. Its too late for me!”
