Seeing him grow, it is so fast. Iba feeling. When he is learning basics — from close open to waving... amazing. I try to wake up with him in the morning, &#x27;di pa siya diretso mag-sleep. Sometimes I change his diaper when I get home,” he explained.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DEJalVUvnZZ/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A231386.39999997616%2C%22ls%22%3A230252.79999995232%2C%22le%22%3A231371.79999995232%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>The actor, however, said that his journey to fatherhood is not without challenges.</p><p>“You are like shaping another human… It is so overwhelming talaga. I was saying I have so many fears now I never thought I’d have to think about,” he said.</p><p>According to the “Can’t Buy Me Love” star, fatherhood has made him more discerning in choosing roles.</p><p>“I had to turn down some roles. There was one. I was with an old director si Gino Santos, but I did not like the role. Before I would never do that. I just take any role. I didn&#x27;t even have to think about it. Iniisip ko makita niya, not something I want him see,” he reasoned.</p><p>Apart from celebrating his son Rome’s milestones as he turns a year older this 2025, Casiño is also checking off items from his own bucket list.</p><p>The actor kicked off the year by starring in his first comedy film and debut project as a Viva One artist with “Sampung Utos Kay Josh,” which premiered in cinemas nationwide on Jan. 28.</p><p>“I was doing this in between &#x27;Can’t Buy Me Love,&#x27; sobrang serious. I knew I&#x27;d have to do it — but when I read the script tawang tawa ako,” Casiño said.</p><p>According to Casiño, he is eager to take on bigger challenges this 2025, starting with his upcoming role in a hit series.</p>
