ALBIE CASINO would rather not talk about Andi Eigenmann at all and we cannot blame him if he looked annoyed when writers kept on asking about Andi during the presscon of “Pwera Usog”. “I feel kasi na tapos na yung issue, matagal na yun, e,” he says. “Also, vindicated naman ako, so I just want to move on and forget about it. We’ve seen each other in an event and we were civil naman.”
Didn’t he really feel anything for Andi’s daughter, Ellie? “Nothing. Yung sinasabi nilang lukso ng dugo, paano ako magkakaroon ng ganun e hindi nga ako ang father. Maski noon pa, she doesn’t really enter my mind and I’m glad that with the DNA test, she found her real dad. Kaya sana naman, patahimikin nyo na ako kasi naman, lahat ng puedeng sabihin, nasabi na, so anupang sasabihin ko? Hindi naman na mababalik ang nakaraan, so what’s the point? Wala nang galit sa puso kasi wala namang mangyayari kung magagalit ako, ako rin lang ang masisira.”
What if there’s an offer to work with Andi? “I’d rather not. Ayokong we’d feel weird and uncomfortable sa set. We cannot pretend namang walang history or whatever between us.”
Albie says he’s seriously thinking of quitting showbiz. “Baka tapusin ko lang yung contract ko with my manager, Leo Domingez. Matagal ko ng pinag-iisipan ito. I’m thinking of finishing my college studies and going abroad. Yung personality ko kasi talaga, hindi pang-showbiz. Hindi ako sanay humarap sa maraming tao at ayokong pinapakialaman ang personal life ko.”
In “Pwera Usog”, Albie is paired with new discovery Cherise Castro. “She’s okay kahit baguhan siya. Nagampanan niya nang maayos ang role niya.”
Any possibility of romance blooming between them? “I’m in a relationship now, non-showbiz. So strictly professional ang pagsasama namin in ‘Pwera Usog’.”
