PREVIOUS UPDATES:
Controversial teen actor Albie Casiño will still be part of the 5th Star Magic Ball this coming Saturday, September 3, 2011.

Albie's mom Rina Casiño herself confirmed it on Twitter last Tuesday that Albie will be attending the Star Magic Ball 2011 and in fact, he has been rehearsing already for the cotillion to be participated in by selected Star Magic talents.

Mrs. Casiño didn't reveal yet who's going to be Albie's date this Saturday (definitely it's not Kathryn Bernardo nor Andi Eigenmann haha).

She also revealed that Albie has been busy shooting a new movie entitled "Aswang" under Regal Films.

Aside from Albie, "Aswang" also stars Lovi Poe, Paulo Avelino, Jillian Ward, Joem Bascon, Niña Jose, Marc Abaya and Precious Lara Quigaman.

The movie is set for Halloween 2011 release.

This month of September is actually loaded with lots of Albie aside from attending the Star Magic Ball and shooting for a new movie.

He's also among Candy Magazine's 100 Cuties for 2011, as featured on its September 2011 issue and he's also joining the Candy Cuties Fair on September 24.

Albie also has a strong chance of ranking on top of Candy's Celeb Cuties for 2011 this October and a new teleserye is a possibility this last quarter of the year.

Despite the controversies, which led to his removal from the cast of "Way Back Home" movie and not being included in "Growing Up" (which premieres this Sunday, September 4), fans need not worry 'coz Albie is not going nowhere.

Albie is here to stay and definitely needs continuous support from the fans.
