Andi Eigenmann's revelation in her Posterous account

Andi Eigenmann has finally revealed via her Posterous account (andieigengirl.posterous.com) that her baby's father is no less than Albie Casiño.

Andi Eigenmann's hair is now black. (Posted on Posterous last Aug. 27)

Andi's revelation isn't surprising at all, since everyone already knows that Albie is the father of her baby after the interview of Andi's father Mark Gil on The Buzz back in July.

But this is the first time that Andi Eigenmann is naming Albie Casiño as the father of her baby.

Andi started her Posterous account back in June 30, 2011 only a day after news broke out that she's 4-months pregnant. (Read: Andi Eigenmann pregnant!)

According to Andi, she decided to blog because she was bored.

Then just last Sunday, September 4, 2011, in her 9th blog post, Andi made a revelation that Albie is the father of her baby:

"Maybe instead of feeling bad that Albie left me to take on this responsibility by myself, I should thank him for giving me the opportunity to go out and find genuine happiness once again. I'd obviously love for him to be around eventually. You know, to save myself the struggle to find a good way to explain his absence to his child. At the same time, I'd understand. Cus after all, I have no idea who or what kind of a person all the fame and fortune has turned him into now. All I hope is that he's well."

But a day after, she edited her blog post and removed Albie's name. She just simply labeled Albie as the baby's daddy.

"Maybe instead of feeling bad that the baby('s) daddy (-_- really?) left me to take on this responsibility by myself, I should thank him for giving me the opportunity go out and find genuine happiness once again."

She later explained in her newest post today why she edited the said post.

"I'd just like to clarify that the post prior to this has been edited. Purpose for this is merely for "fans" (really?), to stop reacting so violently. So again, "fans", this blog wasn't created for you to make a big deal out of."

Andi Eigenmann is expected to give birth by end of November or early December.

The young expectant mom is now dating Erap's son Jake Ejercito.

Star Magic Ball 2011: Kathryn Bernardo and Albie Casiño reunited!

The KATHBIEs (fans of "Mara Clara" loveteam Kathryn Bernardo and Albie Casiño) would definitely love to see these pictures of Kathryn and Albie together at the Star Magic Ball 2011 which was held Saturday night, September 3, at the Manila Pen.

Since Albie got involved in a controversy (as the rumored father of Andi Eigenmann's baby), the two were no longer paired up after their successful loveteam in "Mara Clara".



Kathryn was later paired with Enrique Gil in the movie "Way Back Home" which was shown just last month and has a new loveteam partner (Daniel Padilla) in the newest youth-oriented program "Growing Up" which premieres today, September 4, 2011.

LATEST UPDATE: Here's Albie Casino at the Star Magic Ball 2011, pictured with new Kapamilya Paulo Avelino. (courtesy of @EricJohnSalut and @chokoleiTwits)

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.

Jake Ejercito is not the father, says Andi Eigenmann

Andi Eigenmann herself has cleared Jake Ejercito's name as the father of her baby, a day after Andi's mom Jacklyn Jose confirmed her pregnancy on TV Patrol (Read: Andi Eigenmann pregnant!) and said that Andi's first boyfriend is the baby's father.

According to Andi Eigenmann, who's now 4 months pregnant, on her Twitter profile (@andieigengirl), she has been seeing Jake Ejercito (photo) only during the past 2 months and therefore, he's not the former boyfriend being referred to by her mom Jaclyn Jose on TV Patrol last Wednesday as the father of her baby.

Andi also said on her Twitter post that she only had one ex-boyfriend before Jake.

"For your better understanding, I've only had one boyfriend before Jake whom I've only been seeing for the past 2 months. Therefore, Jake cannot be the said ex-boyfriend whom everyone has been talking about. #commonsense," Andi tweets on June 30.

Before that, Jake Ejercito already made it clear on Twitter (@unoemilio) that he's not Andi's first boyfriend. "I'd just like to ask everyone not to jump into conclusions and misinterpret what has been said. I am not Andi's first boyfriend. Let us just respect and pray for her, her baby, and family," Jake posted on June 29.

Does it mean, Albie Casino is really the father?

But Albie's mom, Mrs. Rina Lee Casino, has said on her own Twitter account also last Wednesday that his son Albie is not Andi Eigenmann's first boyfriend when she responded to tweets from other Twitter users.

RinaLeeCasino: "@damarisliston no ones denying nor confirming. Just saying he is not her 1st bf & I didnt hear ms jaclyn say Albie did u?"

RinaLeeCasino: "@chRisZztEl Albie is not her 1st boyfriend"

Andi Eigenmann pregnant! Who's the father: Albie Casiño or Jake Ejercito?

Andi Eigenmann is pregnant, confirming rumors which actually started as a blind item last week.

Andi's mom Jaclyn Jose herself confirmed on TV Patrol's newscast earlier that her daughter Andi is 18 weeks and 2 days pregnant or that's about 4 months.

"I just want to tell everyone that, yes, it's true, my daughter (Andi Eigenmann) is pregnant,” an emotional Jaclyn Jose told TV Patrol. “Hindi madali pero kailangan kong tanggapin kasi anak ko siya at mahal ko siya. Wala namang ibang tutulong sa kanya kundi ako at ang kanyang pamilya.”

Andi Eigenmann being pregnant is probably one of the most shocking showbiz stories this 2011, especially that Andi, only 21 years old, has a very promising career ahead of her.

Last year, Andi was successfully launched as a Teleserye Princess when she played the title role in "Agua Bendita" and currently, she's still being seen as Coco Martin's leading lady in "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin".

She also made two movies under Regal Films last year and was awarded by Guillermo Mendoza Scholarship Foundation as the Most Promising Female Personality.

And now, the big question is: who's really the father of Andi Eigenmann's baby?

According to Ms. Jaclyn Jose in her TV Patrol interview, the father was Andi's first boyfriend and he broke up with Andi after he found out she's pregnant.

Is it "Mara Clara" actor Albie Casiño?

It has been reported that Albie, who's only 18 and also a promising actor, is Andi's former boyfriend and the two had a really bad break-up. (Read: Albie Casiño calls Andi Eigenmann a cheater)

But most recently, Andi Eigenmann reportedly has also dated Jake Ejercito, son of ex-Pres. Joseph Estrada and Laarni Enriquez.

(But either way, the baby definitely got good genes!)

Albie Casiño OUT of Kathryn-Julia movie?

Albie Casiño is reportedly OUT of the new Star Cinema movie which stars Mara Clara's Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes.But according to Star Cinema, Albie Casiño, who's well-loved by the viewers as Christian on Mara Clara, will still be Kathryn's leading man in the new movie, as reported tonight on TV Patrol amidst rumors that Albie has been removed from the cast already.

Reportedly, Albie Casiño was removed from the cast because of his recent controversy with ex-girlfriend Andi Eigenmann who Albie described on Formspring as a cheater. (Read: "Andi is a cheater - Albie Casiño via Formspring")

KathBie (Kathryn-Albie) fans will be the "unhappiest" to hear if it's true, but thanks, it's not true at all.

It would be a bad idea to remove Albie from the movie. His loveteam with Kathryn also contributed to why Mara Clara became a top-rating soap on primetime TV and definitely it will continue in the movies.

The said movie, which is directed by Jerry Lopez Sineneng replacing Cathy Garcia-Molina, will be Albie's first movie.

AJ Perez, who died last month in a vehicular accident, was supposed to be Julia Montes' leading in the movie. He's fellow Gigger Boys member Sam Concepcion is reportedly taking over the role.

Albie Casiño on Formspring: Andi Eigenmann is a cheater | Albie Casiño also reveals when he was circumcised

Albie Casiño on Formspring vs Andi Eigenmann on Twitter Cyberwar.

Albie Casiño allegedly accused ex-girlfriend Andi Eigenmann as a "cheater".

Andi reportedly was slapped on the face by a young actor, according to Saab Magalona's tweet last May 6 and when Albie Casino was asked if he was the young actor who slapped Andi, the "Mara Clara" leading man who's "on" with Andi for 2 years allegedly divulged more than what's being asked from him.

Photos of Albie Casino and Andi Eigenmann during Albie's Juniors' Prom Night at La Salle Green Hills taken in 2010 (courtesy of ilovealbiecasino @ PEX)

On his Formspring account (albiewhoshedid), Albie Casiño, who has just turned 18 last Saturday, was asked last week with this question: "albie!!!!!!!! sinabe ni andi (eigenmann) to all her friends na sinampal mo daw cya. sa twitter ni saab parang ikaw yung young actor.nanamapl daw. kaw ba talaga yun? ;>"

Albie responded: "So much bullshit. I never hit her. Maybe one of her many boys did. Andi's a cheater kasi she has maybe 10 guys. Ao yeah nope not me."

It's unsure though if it's really Albie's official Formspring account or only a poser is running that account. But according to Andi herself, it's a real account of Albie 'coz she was with Albie when he made that Formspring account.

If it's really Albie, maybe the fact that he was being accused of slapping Andi which he never did has irked Albie too much that he was able to say those things against Andi.

Albie already said before in an interview that he doesn't like to work with Andi in a project, and that new statement allegedly made by Albie on Formspring could clearly tell us that he and Andie were not really okay since they broke up.

More and more Andi Eigenmann-related questions were asked to Albie which he gamely answered after he labeled Andi as a cheater.

Question: Are you and Andi are still friends?
albiewhoshedid: Nope

Question: what happened to you and Andie?
albiewhoshedid: I treated her so badly towards the end of our relationship. I just wanted her to leave me. All she ever did was love me and I took it for granted. I never really cared abt it. Ask any of the people who know us, everyone would agree to this.

Question: hey albie!.i dont like andie telling twitter some negative things bout u!.dont worry,i know ur just human and those nonsense wouldn't make me love u less!;)

albiewhoshedid: I havent seen them. But i dont care she can bash me all she wants. I'll just keep quit here

albiewhoshedid: not one bit

albiewhoshedid: respects? dude just dont but in man, its none of your business

Question: so what we're gonna expect is that you and andi will never be friends ever again? i'm so sorry :(
albiewhoshedid: its cool. your never really friends with an ex after a relationship

Question: Andie had bruises around a month ago. were those from you??
albiewhoshedid: hell no man. lets be for real. if i really hit her she would get more than a bruise or two okay

Question: I don't think Andi would lie about you hitting her or about anything else for that matter. And what kind of a person would say that his ex is a cheater when it's not even true?? Man up, dude!

Andi Eigenmann on her part, reacted on Albie's accusations by posting these tweets on her Twitter accounr (@andieigengirl):

"I just want justice to prevail and be right in people's eyes for once.

"I thought I was supposed to discreet. And I was. Cus I care abt both my personal life and my career. So what's going on?

"Now that its over I have to be ruined even more?

"At least the Lord knows I haven't done anything to hurt anyone that matters. Just by that, I'm fine.

"One more bump and I'm gonna talk.

"That's it. I don't care who people believes but it has gone way overboard. Check out albie's formspring (albiewhoshedid)<---

"(Albiewhoshedid)<-- analyze nyo lang kita nyo na yung ugali eh. And read through his answers.

"Question is why he had to have the reason to answer that question. So maybe it was him. Why would my friend, someone who just cares...

"Go about and tweet something out of disappointment if it were a lie.

"The issue is not what he's done but how he's trying to ruin my life and let him be wo defending myself. All I ver did for 2yrs was sty by hm

"Make sure he's happy and he doesn't get hurt. Cus I care. A lot. And why do I get this inn return? No one knows.

"I don't do this out of pity. Heck I even told myself not to stoop down to his level cus there's no need. At least I know the truth.

"But I think it has gone overboard. This guy knows me and knows the truth, yet has the guts to say suchc lies to save himself from NO danger at all.

"Noone could ever imagine how badly I've been hurt, but did anyone ever hear anything from me? No. Cus I care for him and I love him and amidst what he's done, I'd always wish the best for him. Another question is, so why wont he just stop and let me be?

"To the readers, he made himself hate me and did everything he can for me to stay out of his life.

"When all I ever did was love him as much as I could.

"What did I ever do to deserve this?

"To the judgmental ones, I don't need your replies. Haters, I got enough of you already, built by my everbeloved ex. I don't need more of it

"I believe I have enough class to not stoop down to his level and actually do such a thing as this. But for once, I just need to defend myslf

"To his fans, I know there are a lot, don't mind this if you can't believe it. Its nt an intention to take u against him at all. Thanks

"I know ill regret doing this cus I'm not the kind of person, but what's done is done.

"Girls, always remember to respect yourselves. No matter what. Always be careful. Don't stoop so low. Keep your class.

"@iloveajperez143 what r u saying? I was never w him. I cried under a blanket a million times at taping, for albie. Not for anybody else.

"I don't need to prove anything to the others. But what he said was really out of line, and he knows, as well as everybody else who knows me

"that I am not the type of girl at all and that I had sacrificed a whole lot for him because I loved him so much. I dont understand why I get that in return. Such a low blow to talk about me that way. He knows its not true.

"whoever will replace him will never be a consolation prize. He'll be my real prince charming ;) ♥

"@mermaidmayhem ask around our circle. He's done it infront of people. 10 guys? Cheating? Sya din yun eh.

"Thanks to all. But I never meant to get u guys against him. Just wantd 2 prove a point that's the most you'd get frm me evn if h dsnt stop

"@andieigenfans hayaan na natin sya guys. Wala naman kasi syang kalaban. Ano kaya nakain non? Wag nalang natin pansinin.

"@andieigenfans yuup!hehe grabe noh. parang may ginawa ako sakanya. Masyado syang galit.

"@amshussain08 @amshussain08 I wouldn't make a big deal out of that formspring acct if I'm not sure its his. Kung ayaw nyo maniwala, go. But I'm the one who knows him personally. He made that acct with me there.

"He went as low as bashing my family as well. That I cannot take. Talking about being drug addicts when he was the one getting high atm.

"Things that happen to me just cus I'm not a kiss up.

"Naiyak ako.hehe pabayaan nyo na kami. Ok kami. Maging ok nadin sana kayo.

Kathryn Bernardo - Julia Montes movie is NOT 'Mara Clara The Movie'

Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes, the hottest teen stars of today, will bring their "Mara Clara" rivalry to the big screen as they star in a new movie under Star Cinema.

It has already been reported last March 9 that Kathryn and Julia's launching movie will be directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina and according to her, it's an interesting teen romance / friendship movie.

Their leading men in the film are Albie Casino and AJ Perez.

But just recently, there are online reports saying that the movie is a big screen version of their current teleserye "Mara Clara", which brings confusion to the fans, just like on Twitter where some users have been asking about it, wanting to get a confirmation if it's true:


adet16: "@EricJohnSalut just wanna ask lng po if totoong mara clara the movie ung pagbibidahan ni kath/Albie ..juia/aj? sana po hindi :)salamat po!"

shiena_escarcha: "@KathBieMartians confirmed na po ba na mara clara the movie ??"

jhaypz07: "@StarCinema imortal the movie pls.. un mara clara nga meron ee sna imortal din..."

Dinah_19: "@DimplesRomana elow ate dimps!!congrats po pala gagawan na naman kasi ng pelikula nw ang "MC"...galing "Mara Clara the movie" oh dbah...,"

kathryn_angels: "plss answer me magkakaroon ba tlaga n MARA CLARA MOVIE???"

diyeydi: "@alwaysdreamy: Mara Clara the Movie? What the hell?!!"-di lang teleserye niremake, pati ang movie?!"


From what I understand in previous ABS-CBN reports, it's a Mara Clara movie, meaning a movie of "Mara" (Kathryn) and "Clara" (Julia) and not "Mara Clara The Movie". Hope you get the difference.

So I clarified this out to Star Cinema & TV Synergy Specialist Mico del Rosario on Twitter.

My tweet was, "@micodelrosario Hi there. I want to hear it straight from you. New movie of Kathryn and Julia is not Mara Clara The Movie right?"

And thanks, he tweeted back, "Yes. The movie is not a mara clara narrative but a different story altogether--"

I hope that ends your confusion guys!

Diego Loyzaga appears on Mara Clara | Diego Loyzaga or Albie Casiño, who's cuter?

Diego Loyzaga finally showed up as Derrick on the hit primetime teleserye "Mara Clara" last night and judging Diego's looks, he has this certain charm, great screen presence and a matinee idol material.

And definitely, Diego Loyzaga can rival the cuteness of Albie Casiño, who plays Christian in the soap.

But who's cuter for you?

Diego?


or Albie?

Diego Loyzaga is Derrick in Mara Clara

Diego Loyzaga Montano finally appears in Mara Clara starting this Monday, April 4, 2011.(Or anytime next week)

A teaser for Mara Clara's episodes next week has started airing since last night and Diego is already part of it.

And a lot of viewers are excited of Diego's first ever appearance in a soap opera.

The anticipation actually started when it was reported in March that Diego, who is the son of actor Cesar Montano and former actress Teresa Loyzaga, signed a 3-year exclusive contract with ABS-CBN and will join the Mara Clara cast.

Diego Loyzaga will play the role of Derrick, which was originally portrayed by the late Rico Yan in the 90's version of Mara Clara.

Are you excited?

To excite you even more, check out his photos with Mara (Kathryn Bernardo) on the set of Mara Clara:

Albie Casiño is Utoy ('Mara Clara' March 16, 2011 episode)

Utoy was finally revealed on Mara Clara's episode tonight, March 16. And it's no other than Albie Casiño aka Christian Torralba.

Since Wednesday last week, viewers were glued on their TV sets waiting for the appearance of Utoy, the one who saved Mara (Kathryn Bernardo) after she escaped from the explosion.

Many believe that newbie Diego Montano will be playing Utoy since news came out also last week that he will be an addition to the cast.

But many also believed, especially the Kathbie fans that Utoy and Christian are just one.

And they're right.

Christian is indeed Utoy and definitely just adds more "kilig" to the love story of Christian and Mara 'coz for the nth time, Christian played a hero again to Mara and forever will be.

People behind the show were indeed successful in making the viewers excited and curious about who really Utoy is.

For 3 consecutive nights, from Monday (Mar. 14) up to Wednesday (Mar. 16), Utoy made it as a worldwide trending topic on Twitter.

It's a proof that Mara Clara has a great impact to the viewers and is definitely the phenomenal show of the year.

Kathryn Bernardo, Julia Montes, Albie Casiño topbill new Star Cinema movie

Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes will star in a movie under Star Cinema.

Kathryn and Julia are the lead stars of the #1 primetime soap 'Mara Clara' and now it's about time that they star in a new Star Cinema movie where they also play the
lead roles.

I'm positive it's going to be a box office hit, especially that the movie will also star their Mara Clara leading man Albie Casiño and will be directed by (wow!) Cathy Garcia-Molina.

Sadly John Manalo, also from Mara Clara, isn't part of the movie (a management's decision). It's "Sabel" leading man AJ Perez instead who's joining Kathryn, Julia and Albie in the film.

Here are 2 photos of them at the storycon held earlier today:

While Kathryn, Julia and AJ already starred in previous Star Cinema
films, it will be Albie's first movie ever.

It's also Julia's first movie as Julia Montes. She was credited as Mara Schnittka in her previous films (T2, Caregiver).

Kathryn's last movie was "Supahpapalicious" in 2008 while AJ appeared most recently in "Cinco", shown just last July.

"Mara Clara" stars debut on Bench Summer 2011: Return To Temptation Catalog

The lead stars of "Mara Clara" made their debut on a Bench ad.

Kathryn Bernardo (Mara), Julia Montes (Clara), Albie Casiño (Christian) and John Manalo (Eris) together appear on Bench's Summer 2011: Return To Temptation Catalog, which can be found on Bench's official website.

The "Mara Clara" stars are Bench's newest endorsers and the one above is their first ever ad campaign for the said top clothing brand.

Does this make them as the hottest tween stars of today?

Knowing Bench, they usually get as endorsers those who they believe are "currently hot", just like the Kimerald, the Melason, Robi Domingo and Ejay Falcon right after they exited PBB house, Aljur Abrenica and Kris Bernal and the StarStruck V winners.

Aside from the Mara Clara stars, also making their debut on a Bench ad are the hot "Sabel" leading men: AJ Perez and Joseph Marco.

Joseph Marco took part already in the Bench Uncut Fashion Show held last July. AJ Perez, meanwhile, previously endorsed the clothing brand "Molecules" for quite a long time before being part of Bench.

Sam Milby will have a cameo appearance on 'Mara Clara' for Mara's 'Sweet 16' birthday party

Sam Milby will be doing a cameo appearance on "Mara Clara", the currently #1 soap on primetime.

And what will be Sam Milby's role in the soap?

Sam will be one of Mara's escorts on her 18th 16th birthday celebration which will be shown on next week's episodes.

How sozy naman!

Sam already told his Twitter followers about it last week, but he did not indicate his role. He just tweeted that he's taping for Mara Clara.

Aside from Sam and co-stars Albie Casiño, John Manalo and EJ Jallorina, also escorting Mara (Kathryn Bernardo) are Jake Cuenca, Enchong Dee, Jason Abalos, Matteo Guidicelli, Joem Bascon, Ejay Falcon, Xian Lim, Sam Concepcion, Robi Domingo, Enrique Gil, Arron Villaflor, Martin Del Rosario, Joseph Marco and even child star Zaijian Jaranilla.

Mara is a lucky girl after all, isn't she?

The past 5 episodes were the most exciting ones so far for "Mara Clara", that's why it has been ranking #1 in the ratings.

And definitely it will continue next week as a lot more exciting episodes await the viewers. Are you ready for it?

Albie Casiño, John Manalo play leading men to Mara and Clara

Teen cuties Albie Casiño and John Manalo will be the leading men of
Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes in the 2010 remake of "Mara Clara".

17-year-old Albie plays the role of Christian, which was portrayed by Wowee De Guzman in the original version.

Albie was first introduced to us in Gimik 2010 and recently named as
one of the Top 20 Candy Cuties for 2010 (at #7). He's also the ex-boyfriend of Andi Eigenmann.

Former child star John Manalo on one hand is Eris, originally played
by Christopher Roxas.

Now 15, this Best Child Actor awardee actually grew up before our eyes. He's one of the original Goin' Bulilit mainstays and appeared already in atleast 10 Star Cinema films. He played as son to Kris Aquino in "Feng Shui" and son of Sharon Cuneta in "Caregiver".

It's quite exciting because in the original version, Judy Ann Santos
(Mara) - Wowee De Guzman (Christian) and Gladys Reyes (Clara) - Christopher Roxas (Eris) ended in real-life romance.

Will Albie-Kathryn and John-Julia also end up as lovers?
