Leila Alcasid talks about her 'big move' to Manila on the launch of her blog

By ANN CHARMAINE AQUINO

Leila Alcasid is ready to make a big move. According to the daughter of Ogie Alcasid with ex-wife Michelle Van Eimeren she will be moving to Manila on January 2017.

She started, "In anticipation of my big move this coming January, I created a blog. If you wanna have a read of my very first post, link is in bio! See you soon Manila"


In her blog, she posted her first entry called 'Hello!'. The blog talks about Leila's adjustment when she left for Sydney and what is in store for her return to Manila.

Leila revealed in her post, "Visiting Manila every so often over the years has afforded me the opportunity to peek into the vibrant Filipino culture and the kind people that it consists of– an opportunity I will forever be grateful for. However, with 14-and-a-half years in Australia beating the time I had in Manila, learning about the other half of where I come from is a necessity.

"As of January 2017, I will be living and learning and growing in Manila, bonding with my wonderful family that so far I have only gotten to see every few months. While I'll miss my beautiful mother, step-father and sister back home, comfort lies in the fact that traveling is our thing; i.e. I know they'll visit soon enough and join me in relishing in the greatness of the Philippines." 

The beautiful daughter of Ogie suggested that her blog will be about diversity which includes her passion for food, clothes, arts, and music. 

"Stay tuned for what will surely be hilarious mispronunciations and misspellings as I try to learn Tagalog," Leila concluded.
