Truth Comes Out: Jake Ejercito is The Biological Father of Andi Eigenmann's Daughter Ellie
Max Eigenmann, Andi Eigenmann's half-sister to dad Mark Gil just revealed what some people already expected about the biological father of the latter's daughter Ellie.
On Thursday's episode of controversial radio podcast "Good Times With Mo Twister," Max confirmed that Jake is indeed the biological father or Ellie and not Albie Casino as what Andi insisted in the past.
When DJ Mo Twister asked Max about Andi and Jake's on again, off again relationship, she said: "It doesn't bother me. They're always like that."
When Mo commented that he was in favor of them being a couple, Max replied, "Yeah, me too. And you know that he's the father of my niece, right?"
Max went on to insist that Jake wasn't just a father figure to Ellie:
"Yes, he is [the biological father]. They did a test. Yeah, he's the dad. He's the dad. They're co-parenting. That's why he always posts photos of my niece."

Don't Miss An Entertaining Film For The Whole Family, 'Patintero: Alamat Ni Meng Patalo', From Producers Of 'Heneral Luna', Opening On October 5
THE SURPRISE hit and multiple award winner "Heneral Luna" was produced by TBA (which stands for Tuko Films, Buchi Boy Entertainment and Artikulo Uno Productions). It has now made another experimental film, "Patintero: Ang Alamat ni Meng Patalo", which won the Audience Choice and Gender Sensitivity Awards in the last Quezon City Filmfest. It's been reshot and re-edited for wider theatrical release on October 5 by first time director Mihk (stands for Made in Hong Kong) Vergara.
The film is about a team of losers, called the Patalo Team, in the game of "patintero", led by Meng (Nafa Hilario Cruz), with Nicay (Isabel Frial), Shifty (William Buenavente) and Z-Boy (Claude Adrales) as the members. The climax is a championship game in their barangay's Linggo ng Wika sportsfest where they fight various teams. The film is told with animation, to enhance and highlight the 'patintero' scenes that are transformed into a violent game not totally unlike UFC matches where the opponents get really hurt.
"I myself wrote the story because I have fond memories of playing patintero and other street games, which children of today's generation have forgotten as they're more into video games," says Direk Myhk, who's 33 years old, a graduate of Ateneo film school. "I was in the last batch sa class taught by the late Direk Marilou Abaya. Ka-batch ko si Dan Villegas."
Dan has found an Antoinette Jadaone in his life. How about him? "Wala pa nga, e. But Dan and Tonette helped me with this movie, also Joyce Bernal. They gave their inputs."
How did he cast the movie? "The kids were recruited from a series of auditions. I auditioned about a hundred children a day. I chose Nafa because she had guts. Sa audition, dapat, makipagsagutan ka sa'kin, don't back down, kahit magalit ako sa'yo. The others did, but siya, kahit naiiyak na, hindi siya sumuko, malakas ang fighting spirit niya so bagay siya as Meng, na hindi talaga sumuko kahit underdog sila. I'm lucky to have a very talented cast, along with Suzette Ranillo as Meng's caring lola, Vince Magbanua as her kuya with whom she has a huge gap and Katya Santos as their long lost mom. We hope that this movie will help revive kids' interest in playing outdoor games, which is healthier than sedentary computer games."
"Patintero" will have its premiere night on October 1, Saturday, at SM Megamall and opens nationwide on October 5, released by Quantum Films. On October 2, Sunday, they will launch the comic book version at SM North Edsa and all the stars will be there.
Ting Nebrida, TBA executive, announced that they've prepared a lineup of exciting new films we should all watch out for in the next few months: "1 2 3" directed by Carlo Obispo (about a provinciano boy's search for his kidnapped sister who's held captive in a whorehouse which gained a lot of acclaim when it opened Cinemalaya filmfest last month), "Iisa" by Chuck Gutierrez starring Rio Locsin and Angeli Bayani, "Smaller and Smaller Circles" (based on the award-winning novel of FH Batacan about two Jesuit priests and a serial killer starring Nonie Buencamino, Sid Lucero and Carla Humphries - this one we really want to see how they'll transfer ito on screen), "Birdshot" by Mikhail Red, "Sunday Beauty Queen" by Baby Ruth Villarama, "Women of the Weeping River" by Sheron Dayoc and a new suspense thriller from Jerrold Tarog of "Hen. Luna" starring Iza Calzado and Ian Veneracion.

Joseph Marco Enjoys Working With Alex Gonzaga In 'The Rebound Girl'. Is He Courting Her? "I'm Not Closing My Doors"
So how's it working with Alex now? "I feel more comfortable working with her now," he says. "Mas gumanda siya. After 'Pure Love', hindi naman naputol ang communication namin sa isa't isa kaya I can say na mas kilala ko na siya."
And how does Alex find Joseph as a leading man? "Kapag mahirap ang eksena, minsan, lagi siyang nang-aasar. Nangangamoy raw ako. Pero kapag ngingiti na siya, hindi ka na maiinis. He's a gentleman. We shot some scenes ng movie sa isang coffee plantation sa Benguet. Yung coffee beans kasi, inaapakan yun. Hindi namin alam, may higad pala, so nangati nang husto ang mga paa namin. Ang daming tumulong sa'min para maalis ang kati. Si Joseph, inuna niya ako. Tiniis niya yung sariling kati niya kasi bawal kamutin, lalong kakati, so hinahataw-hataw niya ang mga paa ko, tinapik-tapik para mawala ang kati. Di ba ang bait niya?"
Is Joseph courting her? "For the record, hindi ko rin alam. Hindi ko alam kung nagpaparamdam siya o seryoso siya. Pero may time na ang feeling ko, oo. One time, binigyan niya ako ng bracelet. Terno kami. Tapos tinulungan niya ang daddy ko noong kampanya sa election. Isang tawag ko lang, he came. Pero ayokong mag-assume. Siguro pag dumalaw na lang siya sa bahay namin nang unannounced, yun na."
And what can Joseph say about this? "Ayoko kasing pilitin. I mean, gusto kong maging natural lang siya. 'Yun nga, sabi ni Alex, I really tried before, pero feeling ko, nu'ng time na 'yun, hindi pa siya ready so I respected that. Right now, okay naman kami. So, you'll never know, nandiyan lang naman si Alex, you know, and I'm not closing my doors."
Direk Emman de la Cruz says their chemistry on screen is very apparent in their romantic scenes in "My Rebound Girl". "Panoorin nyo when it opens on Wednesday, September 28 at makikita nyong bagay talaga sila sa isa't isa."
