MANILA, Philippines – Young actor Albie Casiño was allegedly attacked by friends of his former flame, actress Andi Eigenmann, during their recent encounter at a bar in Makati City.
Rina Casiño, Albie’s mother, told ABS-CBNnews.com that her son came face to face with Eigenmann on Friday night at Fiamma, which led to an aggressive confrontation. Rina, who was in Subic at the time, was alerted about the incident by her brother Allee Lee and Albie’s road manager.
According to her, Eigenmann “splashed wine on his (Albie’s) face and slapped him.” Rina said Albie opted to “clean himself up in the restroom” and leave the venue to avoid worsening the situation. She said, however, that Albie and his friend were followed to the bar’s parking lot by Eigenmann’s companions, a move that she called “planned and premeditated.”
Rina identified Eigenmann’s friends as Frank Magalona, Carlos Concepcion, a certain Lacson and a certain Arce. Albie was allegedly hit on the head with a wine bottle. Moments later, the bar’s bouncer was able to stop the commotion, Rina said.
The actor is now resting after going through a CT scan and other medical tests at the Makati Medical Center. Rina said they have yet to find out if Albie sustained serious injuries from the alleged clash with Eigenmann’s group. Their family has yet to file a blotter report, but is planning to file charges against those involved, Rina said.
Albie is said to be the father of Eigenmann’s daughter, Adrianna Gabrielle. Star Magic, the talent management firm handling Eigenmann, is now conferring with her family to issue a statement on the incident.
In an official statement sent to ABS-CBNnews.com on Saturday, Eigenmann admitted to allegations made by Albie’s mother Rina Casiño that she (Eigenmann) “splashed wine on his face,” but asserted that she had nothing to do with her alleged companions assaulting Albie. “It was my first time seeing him face to face. He gave me a bad look and I felt really bad. I thought I have moved on but because of the incident wounds of the past came back,” Eigenmann said, recounting her estrangement with Albie over her controversial pregnancy. “I admit that out of impulse, I threw wine on his face, and the next thing I heard was he was being beaten up outside,” she added.
In an earlier interview with ABS-CBNnews.com, Albie's mother said four men, allegedly Eigenmann’s friends – Frank Magalona, Carlos Concepcion, Jeck-Jeck Lacson and Neil Arce – assaulted Albie at the parking lot of Fiamma. “I ran up to ask him how he was. By his reaction and the way he was cursing at me, it seemed he readily thought I had something to do with it,” Eigenmann said.
The “Agua” star added that she felt it was “acceptable” to be pointed as an instigator of the fight, but maintained that she hadn’t known of any plans to attack Albie. “I was inside when it happened. I believe it should be acceptable for him to accuse me of such a thing, but I honestly don’t have anything to do with it,” Eigenmann said.
