📌 The Rumor Around the Ligaspi Twins’ Parentage
For years, social media and some gossip circles have speculated about the physical resemblance of Mavy and Cassy Ligaspi. Netizens claim that one of the twins, particularly Mavy, looks more like actor Aga Muhlach than his supposed father Zoren Legaspi.
This speculation resurfaced when Cristy Fermin, together with Romel Chika and Wendel Alvarez, tackled the issue on her Showbiz Now Na! vlog (September 15, 2023).
🎤 Carmina Villarroel’s Past Statements
According to Cristy Fermin, actress Carmina Villarroel herself admitted in earlier interviews that:
She had a huge crush on Aga Muhlach during their sitcom days on ABS-CBN’s Oki Doki Doc.
However, she clarified that it never went beyond friendship, especially since they are close relatives on their mothers’ side.
Carmina’s mother (Mommy Carmen) and Aga’s mother (Anita Aquino) are first cousins.
This makes Carmina and Aga second cousins.
Cristy also recalled a one-on-one ABS-CBN interview with Carmina years ago where Carmina was asked about the father of her twins. Carmina firmly stated:
She and Zoren had already been a couple for four months before she found out she was pregnant.
She denied any romantic link to Aga, stressing that their closeness was rooted in family ties.
🏠 The California Connection
Cristy also highlighted that in the late 1990s, both Carmina and Aga spent significant time in California, USA:
Carmina stayed there after her breakup with Rustom Padilla (now BB Gandanghari) and during her pregnancy.
Aga, fresh from his sitcom break, was also based there for a time.
Though both families stayed in the same U.S. city, they lived in separate homes, as each had their own family rest houses.
This overlap fueled speculation, but Carmina has maintained that nothing untoward happened between them.
💬 Carmina’s Pain Over Rumors
Carmina has openly admitted being hurt whenever people drag her children into such issues.
She expressed frustration at suggestions that her twins should undergo DNA testing.
She pointed out that her children clearly resemble their family:
Mavy, she insists, strongly resembles his grandfather Lito Legaspi.
For Carmina, these rumors are unfair and damaging, especially since her family has lived openly and honestly.
📢 Cristy Fermin’s Take
Cristy Fermin emphasized in her vlog:
She believes there was never any romantic involvement between Aga and Carmina.
The speculation is rooted only in physical resemblance, which is subjective.
Family lineage is clear — the Ligaspi twins are the children of Zoren Legaspi and Carmina Villarroel.
⚖️ Conclusion
This controversy shows how celebrity families in the Philippines are often targeted with persistent rumors, despite repeated clarifications.
Carmina’s position: She stands firm that Zoren is the father of her twins.
Cristy Fermin’s reminder: Aga and Carmina are blood relatives, making the speculation both baseless and hurtful.
Public reaction: Some netizens remain doubtful due to resemblance, but others urge respect for the family’s privacy.
