Influencer and actor Benedict Cua is one proud dad as his son recently marked two life milestones. 

A grand party was held for baby Aleck last March 23 to celebrate his baptism and first birthday, and the public got a glimpse of the celebration through Cua's latest vlog.

The event was attended by Cua's family and close friends, including fellow content creators like Kristel Fulgar, Mimiyuuuh, and Awra Briguela, who also gave birthday messages for Aleck. 

"Sana lumaki kang mabait at susunod lagi kay daddy," said Fulgar. "Be sweet and kind. Take care always. See you sa Korea!"

Mimiyuuuh, on the other hand, said: "We can't wait na makalaro ka at makita ka kung paano kang lumaking mabuting bata."

Briguela, meanwhile, said: "We will never leave you, never ever... Happy birthday, Aleck!" 

Cua, for his part, took the opportunity to thank all those who made time for his son. 

He also expressed "nothing but happiness" for Aleck as he grows up. 

"This is a once in a lifetime event and the 2 to 3 months of planning was worth it," Cua said toward the end of this vlog. "I know I got super pressured, but nobody pressured me to do this. I just wanted to give the best for Aleck, and also for my whole family."

He then addressed his future self, saying: "Kung nanonood man 'yung future self ko, how was it? Did I do good? I hope I made you proud."

It was in May 2024 when Cua introduced Aleck to the public via a social media post.

The content creator never revealed the identity of his son's mother, and prefers to keep things private for now. 

"Right now not yet willing to share because it's something very personal. And in time, maybe if okay din kay Aleck, then I would tell everybody," he previously said.
