Albie Casiño speaks about meeting Jake Ejercito anew
ALBIE CASIÑO – The actor opened up about meeting Jake Ejercito again.
Albie, whose real name is Alan Benedict Lee Hernandez, is a 30-year-old actor from Makati. It was in 2010 that he first entered show business through the variety show SOP on GMA Network. He’s best known for his role as Christian in the 2010 hit series, Mara Clara.
Casiño had a controversial situation with his ex-girlfriend Andi Eigenmann in 2011 when she claimed that her “first” boyfriend (possibly Albie) might be the father of her first child. Andi’s boyfriend at the time, Jake Ejercito, denied being the father, but after a 5-year dispute, Andi’s sister confirmed in a podcast in September 2016 that Jake Ejercito was indeed the father and a paternity test was done without Albie’s knowledge.
On May 4, 2012, Gene Eigenmann saw Casiño at a bar in Makati and apparently threw wine on Casiño’s face and hit him. Casiño went to the restroom to clean up with the plan of leaving the bar. However, he and a friend were supposedly followed and attacked in the parking lot by people who were with Eigenmann. A bouncer eventually intervened to stop the disturbance.
After a couple of years, Albie and Jake met again. In an interview with Deni Rose M. Afinidad-Bernardo of the Philippine Star, he shared that he approached Jake himself. “Ako ang lumapit sa kanya. ‘I’m sure you know who I am. Wala akong problema sa’yo. I hope you have no problem with me personally.”
They reportedly shook hands and had a drink. They didn’t discuss the matter concerning Andi and Ellie, as that chapter is closed. “There’s no need to talk about it. Parang wtth me, making that, coming to him, that’s my way of saying na we’re that on that part. Closed chapter na ‘yon between me and him.”
