Actor Albie Casiño has recently welcomed his first child with his foreigner girlfriend, according to veteran showbiz journalist Ogie Diaz.
The exciting news was disclosed in the latest episode of Diaz’s vlog, ‘Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update,’ where he was joined by co-host Mama Loi.
Initially presenting the news as a blind item, Diaz shared that the young actor flew to the United States to meet his newborn son. “Tumulak na patungong US ang young actor para makita, mahawakan makarga ang kanyang unang anak, ang kanyang baby boy. Kasi nga ang kanyang dyowa na isang foreigner ay nanganak na nu’ng April 30,” Diaz revealed.
Diaz mentioned that Albie had just completed his project, ‘Can’t Buy Me Love,’ before heading to the US. “So, after nu’ng kanyang palabas ay tumulak na siya patungong US para alam mo na, para maramdaman niya na tatay na talaga siya dahil first time niyang makikita ‘yung kanyang anak,” Diaz added.
As Diaz and Mama Loi speculated about the actor’s identity, names such as Donny Pangilinan, Darren Espanto, Anthony Jennings, and even Rowell Santiago were mentioned, all of which Diaz denied. When Mama Loi suggested Jake Ejercito, Diaz clarified that Jake already has a child with Andi Eigenmann.
Finally, Diaz revealed the actor’s identity: “Si Albie Casiño.” He noted that Albie had given his blessing for the announcement and expressed pride in his new role as a father. “Proud siya, ha? Proud siya. Sabi niya kasi sa ‘kin, ‘Intayin mo muna akong makaalis, tito Ogie, ha?'” Diaz shared.
Albie’s baby boy is the first grandchild on Albie’s side of the family. “First apo ‘yan sa side ni Albie at first apo sa tuhod,” Diaz noted.
Describing the baby, Diaz said, “At nakita ko, napakagwapo (ng baby). Hawig din kay Albie, in fairness. Sobrang tuwang-tuwa si Albie. Hindi raw niya ma-ano, contain ‘yung kanyang nararamdamang saya.”
The announcement has left fans eagerly anticipating the official introduction of Albie’s baby boy to the public. For now, Albie Casiño is relishing his new journey into fatherhood.
