Here’s what Regine Velasquez shared about her stepdaughter’s “pamamanhikan”.
Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez shared the story of what happened during the “pamamanhikan” of Leila and Mito.
Previously, Ogie Alcasid and Michelle Van Eimeren’s daughter Leila got engaged. They were both happy over this and recently, their family did the traditional “pamamanhikan”. This activity is done between the families of the couple before they get married.
Leila Alcasid is now engaged to her long-time boyfriend, indie singer-rapper Curtismith. She is the daughter of OPM singer-songwriter Ogie Alcasid with beauty queen Michelle Van Eimeren.
In the comment section of the engagement announcement, Leila’s father congratulated her and her fiancé and her Australian beauty queen mother was also as happy and supportive of them as they marked this new chapter in their relationship.
About the “pamamanhikan”, the two families gathered together and in an interview, Asia’s Songbird Regine Velasquez shared what happened. This event accordingly gathered their families and Michelle who is based in Australia also came.
“Ayun, masaya naman. We got to meet the family of Mito, her fiancé,” says the Songbird. The veteran singer expressed that it was a fun dinner. They had her and her husband Ogie sing for everyone which they also enjoyed.
As a stepmother, she treats Leila as her own, and being the mother, she has this tendency to give her “unsolicited advice”. But, at the same time, she also considers the situation with her biological mother. They have this unconventional setup as a modern family and many people admire it.
“I want her to have her time with her mom, si Michelle. Kasi siyempre meron din siyang sarili na i-impart dun sa daughter niya,” she expressed.
Meanwhile, Velasquez has an upcoming concert called “Reset”. It will be held at Samsung Performing Arts Theatre in Circuit, Makati City on February 14, 15, 21, and 22.
