When news of young actress Andi Eigenmann’s pregnancy hit the surface and was finally admitted by her father, veteran actor Mark Gil, it spawned interest among showbiz watchers waiting for the revelation of what might be obvious already to some-who the father is.What made this story so much more celebrated was the fact that, prior to her being in that interesting state, she also went through a controversial breakup with actor Albie Casiño. Not only were there rumors that Albie had been hurting her physically, another nasty issue surfaced when people got wind of Albie’s posts online—via his Formspring account—that cast Jaclyn Jose’s daughter in a bad light. And with that, the possibility of Albie fathering Andi’s child is big news indeed.
After a series of news items that had both sides weighing in on the pregnancy issue, and other names being dragged into the fray— like Jake Ejercito, Andi’s rumored new boyfriend—the 21-year-old mother-to-be wrote a revealing blog on http://andieigengirl.posterous.com dated Sept 4 and titled “#welliwasneverreallytheconventionaltype,” naming Albie as her child’s father.
As quoted on “The Buzz” on its Sept. 11 episode, Andi had originally written: “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 go out and find genuine happiness once again.”
She later added, “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… All I hope is that he's well.”
However, Andi removed Albie’s name the day after posting the blog—replacing it with the term “baby daddy”—which, according to “The Buzz,” was a move to stop people from reacting further to it.
When Andi was cornered last Friday at an event participated in by her father and brother Gabby Eigenmann, she would only say, “No, I wouldn’t like to comment, sorry…”
Meanwhile, “The Buzz” caught up with Albie at a photo shoot for his movie “Aswang.” When he was asked a few questions about the issue, he would only say, “Marami pong salamat sa suporta niyo. Na hindi niyo po ako nilaglag…”
He refused to comment on Andi’s blog post, and would not say anything about the rumor that his family is planning to file suit because of it. What he relented to talk about are his future plans.
“Gusto ko naman po talaga mag-aral eh,” he said in the taped interview. “Pero iniisip ko pa kung ano, kasi yung course talaga na gusto ko, psychology. Eh mahirap namang i-balance ‘yun sa showbiz so kailangan po talagang mamili…”
Apparently, his desire to go back to school had also spurred rumors that he might just quit show business soon.
“Hindi ko pa talaga alam eh. Kasi ayoko na may ginagawa akong hilaw eh. Gusto ko kung may ginagawa ako, concentrate ako on that. Ayoko nang hinahati ‘yung focus ko, tsaka parang lackluster… ‘yung performace,” he said.
“Hindi ko talaga alam eh, hirap talaga eh… mahal ko ‘to eh,” he said about showbiz.
Asked if he regrets getting into showbiz and having all these nasty rumors and issues surround him, he simply noted, “Hindi, alam ko na ‘yun eh… eto yung pinasok ko eh…”
Tellingly, he also added, “Wala na tayong magagawa sa nangyari… So ‘yun lang, iniisip ko na lang kung paano ko maaayos ito.”
