IBANG-IBA na ang aura ngayon ni Albie Casiño kumpara sa hitsura niya noong mga nagdaang taon na siya ang itinuturo ni Andi Eigenmann na nakabuntis at kalauna’y ama ng anak nito.

Ngayong ini-reveal na ng half-sister ni Andi na si Max Eigenmann na si Jake Ejercito ang tunay na ama ni Baby Ellie, nakakaramdam na ng panibagong sigla sa kanyang buhay si Albie.

“Medyo relieved is like a super understatement,” pahayag ni Albie. “I was super relieved... not medyo relieved.”

Mag-asawang hindi nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral, pinagtapos naman ang 9 na anak!

Nalaman niya ang tungkol sa revelation ni Max nang may gumising sa kanya mula sa pagkakahimbing.

“I was asleep. Someone woke me up and said, ‘Hey, I got good news for you. Check this out.’ She showed me... I think it was Fashionpulis on Twitter. I don’t have a Twitter account so I don’t know. I read it lang and then I went back to sleep. I’d like to sleep,” kuwento ni Albie nang makausap ng reporters sa presscon ng pelikulang The Escort ng Regal Entertainment.

Of course, isa sa mga pinakamasaya sa naklarong pangalan ni Albie ay ang kanyang butihing ina, si Mrs. Rina Casiño.

“Lahat naman ng nanay defender, eh. She was just so happy. Because we all knew it, di ba? That’s why everyone’s asking me, ‘How do you feel now that the truth is out?’ I knew this. It’s not new to me. I already knew it. She was super happy about it. I never really understood how much that ordeal affected her until I think it was a PEP article she did. Only when I read that did I realize how much it affected her. Because for me, when that issue came out I brushed it off, eh. I’m very good at shoving bad experiences out. I try to not let it affect me. But then I realized that eventually that’s going to come up and that’s going to do more damage to you,” kuwento ni Albie.

Sabi pa ng aktor, ang karanasan niyang ito ay nagbukas ng bagong pananaw sa kanyang buhay.

“I learned those lessons a while back when it all hit the fan. Just listen to your parents. They know what’s best for you when it comes to girls. If something seems too good to be true it probably is too good to be true. Just stuff like that. Lessons I learned from the revelation like nothing naman, I don’t think you can learn anything from that.”

Kahit pa nawasak ang kanyang imahe at career sa maling akusasyon ni Andi Eigenmann sa kanya, hindi inisip ng 23 year-old actor na idemanda ito.

“Hahaba pa ‘yung proseso, eh. You know what I mean? Like I’m just so happy to be done with it na. I don’t have to see them. I don’t have to think about them. I don’t have to worry about them. My name’s not associated with them anymore, di ba? I think what was the worst thing for me is when people heard my name they’d say, ‘Oh yeah, he’s the dad of the kid.’ You know what I mean? Pero now no one thinks that anymore. I hope no one thinks that anymore. Parang lagi lang akong bitbit sa issue na ‘yun. I’m happy that people can talk about the issue and not talk about me anymore. I don’t give a bleep, sorry ,” sabay tawa.

Sa kabila ng mga nangyari, nasabi ni Albie na maaayos din ang lahat sa sa tamang panahon.

“Okay, real talk? I just wanted to be civil with her, of course I was never sure. I asked for a DNA test. I didn’t get a DNA test. But I had a feeling it wasn’t my baby. I was never sure. So I just wanted to be nice. I’m just a nice guy in general. I wanted to build a good relationship, just in case, like just a plan B, like just in case it was actually my kid. So we would be on good terms and stuff. Everyone was asking me about lukso ng dugo, like I never had any of that. None of that. But like now, I don’t have to worry about that, it’s not my kid. Career is doing well.”
