Actor Cesar Montano said that he's a proud grandfather once again after his son actor Diego Loyzaga had a child.

At the sidelines of the media conference for the upcoming TV5 series "Minsan Pa Nating Hagkan Ang Nakaraan" held at Gateway in Araneta City on Friday, July 21, Cesar made a promise to spoil Diego's child when he met the baby.

"Sa picture pa lang. Naiwan yata abroad. Siya pa lang ang bumalik dito to make a film. Ngayon babalik siya uli doon. Hindi pa niya dinadala rito. Excited na nga akong makita sa personal," the 60-year-old actor said.

(I just saw the picture. I think she's abroad. Diego just came back here to make a film. Now he's going back there. He hasn't brought her here yet. I'm excited to see her in person.)

On his advice to Diego now that he's a father, Cesar answered: "I trust Diego a lot that he will be a better and responsible father. Siya pa lang excited na kinukuwento niya sa akin. Ako mag-i-spoil dyan sabi ko."

Cesar mentioned that he doesn't mind being called grandpa. As of June, Cesar has three grandchildren: two from eldest daughter Angela and one from son Diego. 

"Sabi ko pwede bang Kuya Buboy na lang? But it doesn't matter. Okay lang kahit ano. I'm a proud grandpa," he said. (I said, can you call me Kuya Buboy? But it doesn't matter. It's okay no matter what. I'm a proud grandpa.)

In June, Diego seemed to have revealed that he's a dad now after he shared a picture of himself carrying a baby. Diego is the son of Cesar and actress Teresa Loyzaga.

Diego, 28, said that having a child was the best birthday gift ever.

Cesar joins the cast of the remake of the love triangle drama "Minsan Pa Nating Hagkan ang Nakaraan" that starred showbiz legends, Vilma Santos, Christopher de Leon, and Eddie Garcia.

This highly anticipated remake by TV5, produced by Sari Sari Network Inc. in partnership with VIVA Entertainment, is led by no-less than this generation’s hottest stars and real-life couple, Cristine Reyes and Marco Gumabao who are no strangers to the Kapatid audience, having made their marks in previous TV5 productions ‘Encounter’ and ‘Di Na Muli’. Cesar adds depth and dimension to the story.

Kapatids will be hooked to the thrilling story of Helen, portrayed by Reyes, as she finds herself torn between two loves: Rod, her old flame (played by Gumabao), who mysteriously leaves her confused and heartbroken; and Cenon (portrayed by Montano), an older gentleman who will make her fall in love again. 

Plot twists of romance and redemption will leave viewers wondering and will root for their favorite characters. Ultimately, they will have to decide: whose love will triumph in the end?

TV5's revival of this classic drama is testament to the network’s dedication to serving quality entertainment content, further strengthening its afternoon program lineup. 

"Minsan Pa Nating Hagkan ang Nakaraan" begins July 25, Monday to Friday, 4:40 PM on TV5, with encore telecasts every day at 8PM on SARI SARI Channel, available on Cignal TV, SatLite Ch. 3, and Cignal Play.
