Ogie Alcasid on Leila Alcasid and Mito Fabie's relationship
Ogie has openly expressed support for Leila and Mito's relationship. Despite having some apprehensions with their cohabitation set-up early on in their relationship, the veteran singer has since kept an open mind regarding the situation.
Admittedly, Ogie was initially not in favor of them living together before marriage. It was in 2023 that it was publicly disclosed that the couple has been living together amid the pandemic. Despite his initial thoughts on her daughter's sudden decision to live with her boyfriend, Ogie ultimately respected Leila's decision.
"I told her, 'I didn't like what you did'," Ogie shared in a past interview. "Because it's something that I wish you talked to me about before. But that's already done. Nandiyan na 'yan."
He recalled how he told Leila to stick with her decision afterwards, "'So you want to be an adult? Then, face life like an adult,' And I'm very proud that she doesn't even ask for money from me at all."
In a separate September 2023 interview with PEP.ph, Leila had nothing but praise for her dad. At the time, Leila clarified that everything's good between her and her father.
Speaking to PEP,ph, Leila stated, "He respects [my] decision, my autonomy as a person, as an adult. We're really good now." she added, "I mean, he has every right to feel the way he feels. And we talked about it, and there was definitely a little bit of misunderstanding way back then."
