Cosplayer Alodia Gosiengfiao admitted that navigating her first pregnancy is a lot of “challenge,” but at the same time “exciting,” as she is set to give birth soon.

“I’m very excited. It’s coming out very soon,” she told reporters during the recent premiere night of “Friendly Fire.”

“Actually, I’m very surprised since it’s a challenge talaga na parang before I thought na parang smooth sailing, but it’s not kasi it’s a lot of work, a lot of preparation and now super talagang [may] high respect ako to every mom out there,” she added.

The content creator first announced in June that she was expecting her first child with husband Christopher Quimbo. Three months later, the couple had a gender reveal, sharing that they are going to have a boy.

After going public about their relationship in 2022, Gosiengfiao and Quimbo tied the knot on Valentine’s Day last year.

Meanwhile, Gosiengfiao recently co-produced and made a special appearance in the upcoming movie “Friendly Fire.” The vlogger said that it’s important for her to take part in a film that promotes electronic sports (esports), as it is the niche that kicked off her journey in content creation.

“I’m really humbled to be here because this has been my whole world, and I’m just really happy, thankful, and blessed that other people also appreciate this,” she said.

“There’s a lot of inspiration from, like, my journey as a gamer in this industry so it’s really legit. I really hope that people get to enjoy and see this side that actually happens in the Philippines,” continued the internet personality.

Gosiengfiao underscored that “Friendly Fire” does not only promote Filipinos’ love for gaming but also shows messages on “friendship, perseverance, and teamwork.” 

“Friendly Fire” follows a team of underdogs in the highly competitive world of esports that is put to the test when its star player suddenly quits for the bigger gains.

The film features Coleen Garcia, Loisa Andalio, Yves Flores, Jan Bautista, Harvey Silverio, and Bob Jbeili, and it will open in Philippine cinemas on Wednesday, Oct. 23.
