Call Ogie Alcasid old-fashioned, but he was *not* in favor of his daughter Leila Alcasid living in with her boyfriend Mito Fabie, aka rapper Curtismith.
Speaking to Inquirer during an event for his upcoming concert "Ogieoke", the singer-host spoke about his eldest daughter's living arrangements with her boyfriend of five years. Leila and Curtismith made headlines earlier in 2023 for their deepening relationship, deciding to cohabitate amid the pandemic.
"I told her, ‘I didn’t like what you did," Ogie shared. "Because it’s something that I wish you talked to me about before. But that’s already done. Nandiyan na ‘yan."

While Ogie expressed his dissatisfaction with the setup, he respects Leila's independence as an adult.
"'So you want to be an adult? Then, face life like an adult,’" Ogie recalls telling Leila. "And I’m very proud that she doesn’t even ask for money from me at all."
Thankfully, their communication lines are still open to each other and they have an upcoming Hong Kong trip to bond.

"I will get the chance to talk to her about what she plans to do," Ogie notes. "I will have time with my kids."
In February 2023, Curtis told ABS-CBN about Ogie's misgivings about him and Leila living together but appreciated Ogie's openness to respect their decision.
"For sure it wasn’t okay with Tito Ogie [Alcasid] when it happened, because it was so sudden during the pandemic," Curtis shared. "But that was how things turned out. Good thing Tito Ogie was open-minded enough to sit down and talk to me to hear the reason we decided to do so."
