Al Tantay Enjoying Role As Alden Richards' Dad In 'Victor Magtanggol', A Dad Six Grown Up Kids In Real Life

AL TANTAY does movies with ABS-CBN as the father of Joshua Garcia in “I Love You, Hater” and teleseryes with GMA-7 as the dad of Marian Rivera before in “Super Ma’am” and now, of Alden Richards in the big-budgeted action-fantasy, “Victor Magtanggol”, that airs every night after “24 Oras”.

In real life, Al is the father of six kids with three women. He has two daughters with former ka-love team Rio Locsin, one son with former sexy star Stella Suarez Jr. and three more children with his non-showbiz wife now.

“Yung daughters ko kay Rio, 37 and 35 years old na, wala pa ring mga asawa,” he says. “Ang youngest ko naman is now 23. Nanghihingi na nga ako ng apo sa kanila, pero mas career oriented sila. Ang maipagmamalaki ko lang talaga, lahat sila, professionals at puro may magandang trabaho. Yung isa is an industrial engineer from UP.”

He’s glad to be part of a big-budgeted production like “Victor Magtanggol”. “Ginastusan talaga siya ng GMA and I’m happy for Alden kasi mabait na bata yan. He deserves a show like this. Playing my wife in the story is Coney Reyes, na ngayon ko pa lang nakatambal. But sa story, hiwalay na kami and she lives in Japan. Bukod sa action and fantasy elements, maganda ang story ng ‘Victor Magtanggol’ na tungkol sa family drama at kapupulutan ng maraming insights about family relationships.”
