Benedict Cua and Baby Aleck


Check out Baby Aleck's first trip overseas, here.

Content creator Benedict Cua shares an unforgettable adventure with his son, Baby Aleck.

In his latest vlog, Benedict documented their special father-son trip to the beautiful country of South Korea.

The mini vacation was a big milestone for the pair as it was Baby Aleck's first trip overseas.

"...First time namin magta-travel ng more than two days. So six days ang ating Korea travel," he shared. "I'm really, really excited."

As a hands-on dad traveling with a toddler, Benedict encountered a few challenges. From packing an overwhelming amount of baby clothes to managing an early flight, the journey was no walk in the park.

"First hour pa lang ng flight, parang tumanda na ako na parang five years," Benedict admitted.

"Kanina nung umpisa ng flight, si Aleck Mr. Congeniality. Tawa-tawa siya sa lahat ganoon. Ta's nu'ng nag-start na 'yung flight, iyak siya bhie, hagulgol. Nakita ko 'yung mga ulo ng mga tao [tumitingin]. Napa-praning ako, parang 'yung five seconds nagiging five minutes ganoong level siya guys."

Despite the hurdles, Benedict and his little “Baobao” still enjoyed every moment of their Korean getaway. They had fun playdates, tasting local dishes, chill strolls, reconnecting with old Korean friends.

One of the highlights of their trip was attending Kristel Fulgar's wedding to her Korean husband, Ha Su-hyuk. The father-son duo turned heads with their matching dashing suits. Baby Aleck seemingly stole the spotlight as he melted hearts with his infectious smile.

In May 2024, Benedict bravely revealed through a vlog that he had become a father. Though the journey as a single dad hasn't been easy, he's embraced it with pride and love.

Just last March, he hosted a fun, fruit-themed birthday bash for Aleck's first birthday. He also shared a touching message to mark the milestone.

"Time is flying by so quickly, and it still feels surreal. I love you more and more every day, and I hope that every time you look back on this moment, you remember just how immensely loved you are, my Aleck," he wrote.
