And Leila rin naman takes care of him so bagay sila. Tapos he comes from a very good family. He&#x27;s a good person. He&#x27;s a good boy so we were all just very excited,&quot; she said.</p><p>Meanwhile, Regine revealed that her husband Ogie became emotional about the wedding. &quot;Bago kami magpunta ng Australia, iyak siya nang iyak sa akin. Ang dami niyang hanash kasi Leila moved out eh before they got married. Meron silang like three or four years na they moved in together na eh so &#x27;yung feeling ng asawa ko parang, &#x27;Ang konti naman ng naging panahon namin together,&#x27;&quot; she relayed.</p><div><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKbGN-7P969/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA=="></a></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKbGN-7P969/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A392793.5%2C%22ls%22%3A5323.79999999702%2C%22le%22%3A5930.29999999702%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" 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><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Regine admitted she felt something similar, but the emotions were deeper for Ogie as Leila&#x27;s father. &quot;Parang it was the same sentiment na nagkaroon din ako pero sa kanya is siyempre deeper &#x27;cause daddy siya eh, and he was so excited when she moved here [in the Philippines] kasi... so parang [ang sentiment niya], &#x27;Ang konti naman ng time tapos &#x27;yun na &#x27;yun?&#x27; So bago kami pumunta ng Australia, umiiyak siya. [Sabi niya], &#x27;I don&#x27;t know what to do, ano ba &#x27;yun, ganun na lang ba talaga &#x27;yun?&#x27;&quot;</p><p>Ogie&#x27;s emotions began to settle when they arrived in Australia and witnessed the wedding. &quot;But when we went to Australia, nakita niya how happy they were, kasi &#x27;yung wedding nila ang simple-simple lang, 30 lang kami. It was so simple, sobrang intimate pero you can see talaga that the couple were so happy, sobrang happy,&quot; she recalled.</p><p>Regine added: &quot;Even sila Michelle (van Eimeren, Ogie&#x27;s former wife), sila Mark (Morrow, Michelle&#x27;s husband), and sila Sarah (Alcasid, Ogie&#x27;s second daughter with Michelle), they were so happy for them and all the relatives of Mito, they were so happy.&quot;</p><p>The Asia&#x27;s Songbird relayed that Ogie eventually came to terms with it. &quot;Naintindihan na ng asawa ko... Hindi na siya humanash, naging happy na lang siya,&quot; she said.</p><p>Still, from time to time, Ogie gets teary-eyed when he remembers that Leila is now married. &quot;Pero &#x27;pagka once in a while, &#x27;pagka maalala niya na may asawa na si Leila umiiyak na naman,&quot; Regine shared. </p>
