Actor Raymond Lauchengco's wife gives birth

Raymond and Mia Rocha Lauchengco are now proud parents of a baby girl, Natalie. The first-time mother shared the good news herself to PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) early this morning. Her text message, which was sent at 8:38 a.m. today, October 19, goes: "Raymond and I have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl! Natalie Lauchengco was born last night, 7 lbs., 7 oz, 53 cm, at the Asian Hospital." The couple have been together for three years—they were married on March 25, 2004—and PEP recently reported that they had just moved into their new home. The arrival of the baby couldn't have been more timely since Raymond is about to release his newest album Full Circle on October 26. The former Bagets star has signed up with Viva Records to distribute his 10-track album wherein he sings songs of the '80s with swinging big band arrangements. - Philippine Entertainment Portal
