18-year-old wife warns Ka Freddie about adultery
Jovie Albao quips she’ll be criminally liable if she kills her husband’s mistress
His wife, May Jovie Albao’s 18th birthday party serves as a warning to Freddie Aguilar never to have extramarital affairs.
The "Anak" hitmaker's wife became of legal age on Monday, December 1. As expected, Ka Freddie threw a birthday bash in his Tomas Morato bar to celebrate this milestone.
Addressing her husband of one year, Jovie cracked up the crowd when she quipped, "Nakakalungkot naman, 18 na ‘ko e. Kapag nambabae ka, makukulong na ko. Hindi ko na pwedeng patayin ‘yung babae niya.”
The teenage girl from Oriental Mindoro, who was 16 then, earned not a few bashers when Ka Freddie confirmed their May-December affair late last year. He married Jovie in Islamic rites in Buluan, Maguindanao a month after.
Family first
The happy occasion turned emotionally-charged as Jovie shed tears while thanking her parents for standing behind her controversial affair with the 61-year-old music icon.
"Kasi noong nagkarelasyon kami, sobrang naging isyu. Lahat ng masasakit na salita, natanggap nila (her parents),” she told ABS-CBN News after her birthday speech. "Nakakalungkot isipin, 'di ba, na hindi naman sila kasali sa isyu?"
Jovie said she also sees her married life improving as they celebrate their anniversary.
"Ngayon, okay na. 'Yung relasyon kasi namin, umiikot sa aming dalawa, eh. Hindi namin pinansin 'yung ibang tao kasi hindi naman sila kasama, eh. Nagkakilala kami, kaming dalawa 'yon. Nagmahalan kami, kaming dalawa 'yon. Kung may pagkakamali kami, kaming dalawa din ‘yon.”
Growing family rift
Maegan Aguilar, Ka Freddie’s estranged daughter, earlier revealed to Yahoo Philippines her stepmother’s family allegedly benefits from her father’s generosity, with the singer-songwriter giving Jovie’s parents a house in Mindoro.
It will be recalled that Maegan was kicked out of her father’s residence in Quezon City in May due to “rotten veggies” and P1,500 unpaid debt.
Maegan also suspects her dad is under his teenage wife’s spell.
“Malakas 'yung kutob ko na kinulam si Tatay o ginayuma. Kasi 'yung family ni Jovie na sinasabi niyang family niya, hindi niya kamukha. Mukha silang mga mangkukulam. 'Yung mga hitsura nila mukhang hindi gagawa ng mabuti.”
Second honeymoon up next
Ka Freddie also told ABS-CBN News he and his wife are looking forward to 2015 when they would put up a cafe after she completes her Culinary Arts course.
A second honeymoon is also in the pipeline next year, probably in Jovie’s hometown in Mindoro or in-between breaks from Ka Freddie’s shows in the United States and Europe.
