Following months of speculation, the legal counsel of Kapamilya actress Ellen Adarna finally confirmed that the latter gave birth last June 27.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Rene “Rebo” Saguisag made this announcement at the Pasig Prosecutor’s Office on Monday, July 9, as their camp submitted a counter-affidavit on the child abuse and cybercrime complaint lodged against Adarna by the parent of a 17-year-old teen whom she accused of being a paparazo.<\/p>\n

Myra Santos, the complainant, earlier expressed her dismay on Adarna’s absence on the preliminary investigation, which has been rescheduled a few times already, claiming that the actress was just delaying the case.<\/p>\n

Saguisag, however, explained that Adarna was due to give birth during that time that is why she failed to appear in the hearing.<\/p>\n

“Actually after the hearing, sinabi namin, nanganak na siya <\/em>(we said it already that she gave birth), two days after,” the lawyer told reporters as seen in a video posted on YouTube and Twitter by News 5 entertainment reporter MJ Marfori.<\/p>\n

“So talaga pong wala kaming dahilan <\/em>(we have no excuses). Sinasabi nila <\/em>(They say we), ‘delay.’ Maybe ‘delay,’ for her to be able to have a safe delivery. And in due time, mahirap i-biyahe eh <\/em>(it is hard to travel). It’s a matter of days pa<\/em> lang eh<\/em>,” he added.<\/p>\n

Saguisag declined to give further details about the actress giving birth.<\/p>\n

Earlier, actor John Lloyd Cruz, Adarna’s boyfriend, addressed rumors as he took to Instagram, showing a screencap of an article saying that the actress’ son has been baptized.<\/p>\n

Cruz mentioned the media outlet that published the story in his caption, and wrote, \u201cF\u2014 FAKE NEWS.\u201d<\/p>\n

The next hearing is scheduled on July 16, but Adarna would still not attend as she is in Cebu and currently recovering from childbirth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
