Angeline Quinto On Partner's Kids: 'Gusto Ko Sila Makilala, Ang Mga Ate Ni Sylvio'

New mom Angeline Quinto clarified controversies surrounding her partner and baby Sylvio's dad, Nonrev Daquina, in a tell-all vlog in her YouTube channel.

The exclusive interview was part of her vlog, where she showed behind-the-scenes of baby Sylvio's newborn photoshoot, and their first family shoot.

"Talagang lahat yan isshare ko sa inyo gaya nang napromise ko sa inyo nung buntis palang ako. Diba sabi ko lahat ng espesyal na mangyayari sa buhay ko ay ibabahagi ko sa inyo," the actress and singer said.

Baby Sylvio's dad

On the second part of her vlog, Angeline said she wants to address once and for all the rumors about her partner. "Maraming nagrerequest na makilala ang papa ni baby Sylvio. Sa totoo lang nahihiya siya sa mga ganito."

The couple explained how they first met each other, and how they ended up together.

"Nag-videocall yung friend ko na girl, ka-videocall yung bf na kasama siya tapos yun parang nag-hello lang yung friend ko sa mga friends niya. Napansin ko si Nonrev, sabi ko, "Ang cute naman nung isa." Ang cute niya magsmile talaga."

Nonrev said, what he likes most about Angeline is her concern. "Maalalahanin."

He said Angeline always asks him if he already changed Sylvio's diapers. 

When asked what she doesn't like about the singer, he said, "Biglang nagagalit."

Angeline in her defense said, "Yun yung di ko alam na buntis ako. Lalo na nung time na naglilihi ako."

'Batang ama'

Nonrev then addressed the rumors about him. Angeline asked him, "Batang ama ka daw?"

He revealed that he was 15 when he had his first child. They have two daughters, but their relationship didn't work out.

"Nagkaroon ako ng partner, nagkatron kami isang anak na babae. Tapos si Angge na yung nakilala ko. Bale si Sylvio, pang-apat kong anak, nag-iisang lalaki."

When asked if he wants Angeline to be introduced to her children, he said, "Very soon naman yun. Syempre gusto ko makilala mo din sila, makikilala din ni Sylvio yung mga ate niya."

They then talked about their future plans for their family.

Nonrev became emotional and said, "Di ko naranasan na matagal na buo yung family ko kasi bata palang ako naghiwalay na parents ko. Hopefully maging buo tayo hanggang huli, lumaki si sylvio, makilala niya mga kapatid niya."

He adds, "Kasi ilang beses din ako nag-try na magkaron ng buong pamilya pero hindi nag-work."

Newfound purpose

Angeline said, "Ako din ever since di ko naranasan ang buong pamilya. Sobrang thankful ako na may Mama Bob, naging buo ako because of Mama Bob." She was refering to Sylvia Quinto, her adoptive mom, who passed away in 2020.

Hopeful, Angeline concludes, "Ngayon nandito ako sa journey na magkakaron na ako ng sarili kong pamilya, gusto ko na talagang mapagtulungan namin ni Nonrev lahat. Hindi magiging madali lahat, pero kung pareho kami magutlungan, makakaya namin para kay Sylvio at para sa mga anak ni Nonrev."

She adds, she is very happy for her newfound purpose in life.

"Masayang masaya ako andyan si Non at Sylvio, since nawala na ang mama, parang nagkaron ako ng bagong purpose sa buhay. Ito na pala ung bagong kabanata ng buhay ko. Ito na yung bagong haharapin ko sa buhay ko. Sila yung bagong nagpapasaya sa akin."

Non assures Angeline, "Wag kayo mag-alala kasi aalagaan ko kayo hanggang pagtanda ko."

Back to work

The new mom is preparing to go back to the concert scene. In an exclusive interview with PEP.ph, Angeline revealed that she has an upcoming concert in Canada and in the US in September.

According to her, it will be the continuation of her concert series, 10Q: Ten Years of Angeline Quinto, which started in 2021 and was paused on February 2022 due to her delicate pregnancy.

When asked if she's nervous, "Meron talaga. Kasi siyempre ngayon, ang iniisip ko bago ako makabalik sa trabaho yung anak ko, e. Pero ngayon naman po sa pag-alis namin, kasama ko naman po yung baby ko."

Baby Sylvio will be four months old then, but she's not worried because Nonrev will also join them.

"So, kailangan ko po ulit buhayin yung boses ko po, unti-unti. Unti-unti akong bumabalik sa vocalization every day para kahit papaano para masanay ulit ako sa pagkanta, lalo na mas mahirap kasi nga caesarean ako."

She said, she's excited to get back to work soon.

"So, ang dami kong gustong gawin. Ngayon na first time kong makapagtrabaho ulit bilang nanay na, mas excited akong kumanta para doon sa mga nanay din sa ibang bansa," she said.
