Taking care of a baby is already a challenge in itself—but imagine raising two at the same time.
From sleepless nights and double the diapers to twice the milestones and memorable moments, parenting twins is a unique journey that requires extra patience, love, and teamwork.
This Father’s Day, PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) shines the spotlight on famous personalities and celebrity dads who embraced this double blessing and rose to the challenge.
AGA MUHLACH
Starting the list is Aga Muhlach, who shares fraternal twins Atasha and Andres Muhlach (born November 5, 2001) with his wife Charlene Gonzalez.
When asked about his parenting style, Aga said he and Charlene raised their children to be responsible and independent.
In a 2017 interview with PEP, he said: "In our own little way, parang we made sure that we were there, but hindi kami yung mga hovering parents na would be in control of our children.
"They know na hindi sila nag-iisip ng materyal, ng mana."
Aga also admitted to being a strict father.
In a separate interview with Smartparenting.com.ph, he said, "I was a strict dad sa kanila growing up.
"Namamalo ako… Pero para sa akin, ang mali, mali. Hindi puwedeng maging tama."
The twins have followed in their parents’ footsteps and entered showbiz.
They started their television careers by joining their parents, Aga and Charlene, in the sitcom Da Pers Family, which aired from 2024 to 2025.
Atasha has steadily built her acting portfolio, landing notable roles such as Linette “Lin” Estrella in Bad Genius: The Series (2025, VIVA One), marking one of her biggest breakthroughs as a lead actress. She also appeared in the film Everyone Knows Every Juan (2025).
She is set to headline Bongga Ka, 'Day!: The Annie Batungbakal Musical.
Meanwhile, Andres starred in the series Ang Mutya ng Section E (2025) and the movie Minamahal: 100 Bulaklak Para Kay Luna (2025).
Beyond the screen, Andres made his professional theater debut through Bagets: The Musical, reprising the role of “Adie,” which was originally portrayed by his father.
ZOREN LEGASPI
Zoren Legaspi and his wife Carmina Villarroel are parents to twins Mavy and Cassy (born January 6, 2001).
Like the Muhlachs, the Legaspi twins have carved out their own paths in showbiz, gaining popularity as a sibling tandem through hosting, acting, and endorsement projects.
Cassy is best known for her roles in First Yaya (2021) and its sequel First Lady (2022).
Mavy, on the other hand, has explored both hosting and acting, appearing in projects such as Zero Kilometers Away (2021) and Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition (2025), alongside various TV guest appearances and brand campaigns.
The twins also co-hosted the talk show Sarap, ’Di Ba? with their mom, while the entire family starred together in the 2025 series Hating Kapatid.
Over the years, Zoren has remained a hands-on and supportive father, often expressing pride in how his twins have grown into hardworking yet grounded individuals, while maintaining a non-intrusive parenting style that allows them to thrive on their own.
In a PEP.ph interview during the presscon for Hating Kapatid, he said:“They have their own lives. They have their own journey.
"That’s their journey. Kung mahuhulog sa bangin, tinawag ang pangalan ko, doon lang ako dadating.
"Pero hangga’t nandiyan ka, nadapa ka, hindi mo ako tinawag, wala ako doon. Hintayin kong tawagin mo yung pangalan ko.”
EDDIE GUTIERREZ
Eddie Gutierrez and Annabelle Rama have identical twin sons, Richard and Raymond Gutierrez.
Growing up in a prominent showbiz family, the twins were introduced early to the entertainment industry and eventually carved out successful careers of their own.
Richard became a leading man in film and television, most recently starring in the ABS-CBN primetime action-drama Blood vs Duty and the 51st Metro Manila Film Festival horror entry Shake, Rattle & Roll: Evil Origins. He is also a father to sons Kai and Zion.
Meanwhile, Raymond built his name as a host and entrepreneur, becoming a staple in events and lifestyle circuit.
As parents, Eddie and Annabelle balanced discipline with support. Eddie, in particular, served as a steady and guiding presence, instilling in his sons the values of respect, hard work, and professionalism.
Sharing his parenting style in a 2007 interview with PEP, Eddie said: "I'm strict when I have to be strict and lenient when I have to be lenient.
"I become strict'pag sobra na ang puyat nila o lakwatsa nila. And I'm lenient when they do a good job, and when they behave and they follow the rules..."
Asked about rewards, he added with a laugh, “Ang gaganda ng rewards nila— kotse, damit, relos."
BEMBOL ROCO
Veteran actor Bembol Roco has twin sons, Felix and Dominic Roco, who have also made names for themselves in the acting industry.
The family went through a difficult period in the mid-2000s when Bembol became estranged from his sons after leaving their home when they were around 16 years old.

Communication broke down for several years, with the twins even stepping up as breadwinners for their mother’s side of the family. Dominic, in particular, was vocal about their rift at that time.
They reconciled in 2015, with Bembol admitting that the gap widened because they “weren’t able to talk properly.”
He later reached out, and his sons gave him another chance.=
In a 2023 interview with PEP, he shared, “Naayos ko na ang problema ko sa mga anak ko... wala akong problema sa mga anak ko.”
Bembol also supported Dominic during his 2022 drug-related arrest.
Offering guidance, he reminded his son to be mindful of the company he keeps, saying, “Na mag-iingat ka sa mga kinakaibigan… katulad nga niyang nangyari, di ba? Dahil sa hindi pag-iingat yun.”
In an interview with PEP last February 5, 2026, Bembol spoke positively about Dominic’s progress, saying, “He’s alright, tapos na yung nangyari na yun... I’m sure he has learned his lesson.”
He added that his son was grateful for his support: “Nagpapasalamat siya sa suporta na hindi ko siya iniwan, na sinuportahan ko siya."
JOEL CRUZ
Businessman Joel Cruz, known as the “Lord of Scents,” is a proud father to multiple sets of twins.
His eldest twins are Prince Sean and Princess Synne (born 2012), followed by Prince Harry and Prince Harvey (2015), and Prince Charles and Princess Charlotte (2017). He also has two more sons, Zeid (born June 2018) and Ziv (born November 6, 2018).
Joel has been open about his journey to fatherhood through surrogacy, including the significant costs involved, reportedly amounting to around PHP52–54 million.
On social media, he regularly shares updates and milestones in his children’s lives.
Parenting eight children comes with its own challenges, but for Joel, communication is key.
In an interview with ABS-CBN’s TeleRadyo Sakto, he said: "Alam mo, may meeting kami palagi kapag may problema sila, para kaming kompanya.
"Kahit bata ang mga kausap, nagmi-meeting kami para nagkakaintindihan ang lahat.
"Sanay sila na may meeting kami at nag-uusap kami lahat para maayos namin agad ang problema."
He also emphasized the importance of explaining mistakes to his children, saying: "Sa magulang ko noon, parang papaluin ka na lang agad na hindi mo minsan maintindihan, hindi naipaliwanag sa iyo.
"Ito ang challenge sa akin ngayon bilang ama na ipinapaliwanag ko sa mga anak ko.
Mabuti ano, ang pagkakamali mo, bakit hindi mo na dapat gawin ito, huwag mo na dapat uulitin ito o magpasensiya ka.
"’Iyon ang maganda sa akin. Ngayon naipapaliwanag ko sa mga anak ko para matuwid nila ang mga pagkakamali nila."
FORMER SENATOR MAR ROXAS
Also on the list is former politician Mar Roxas, who shares twins Pepe and Pilar Roxas (born 2019 via surrogacy) with his wife Korina Sanchez.
The couple has been open about their journey to parenthood, welcoming their twins later in life and embracing the joys and challenges that come with raising them.
Since stepping back from the political spotlight, Mar has focused on family life, often seen in Korina’s social media posts and his own updates bonding with Pepe and Pilar through everyday moments and milestones. From playtime at home to learning activities, the twins have become the center of his world.
Pepe and Pilar have also charmed netizens with their growing personalities, frequently appearing in heartwarming videos and photos shared online.
Aside from Pepe and Pilar, Mar also has an older son, Paolo Roxas, with former beauty queen Maricar Zaldarriaga.
Paolo made his political debut during the May 2025 elections, where he ran for the congressional seat in the first district of Capiz but was defeated by Pinuno party-list Representative Howard Guintu.
SENATOR CHIZ ESCUDERO
Francis “Chiz” Escudero has fraternal twins, Quino and Chesi Escudero (born September 7, 2007), with his first wife, Christine Flores.
He now shares custody of the twins, who have grown into young adults.
While Chiz tends to keep his children out of the spotlight, he occasionally shares glimpses of his life as a father on social media—from simple bonding moments like cooking with Chesi to proud milestones such as Quino’s high school graduation.
On Father’s Day 2025, Chiz reflected on raising twins and the values he hopes to instill in them.
He wrote: “A good father teaches his children that success is not just personal—it is found in service to others and a commitment to making the world better for future generations.
“As a dad to Quino and Chesi, this is what I hold most dear—the privilege of shaping their lives with wisdom and unwavering support, helping them become not only kind-hearted individuals but responsible citizens who contribute to something greater than themselves.
“May all fathers strive to lead with integrity, nurture with compassion, and instill a sense of duty and pride in the nation we call home. Happy Father’s Day!”
Chiz is married to actress Heart Evangelista.
