MANILA, Philippines – Joel Cruz of Aficionado Germany Perfume is excited about the birth of his twins from a Russian surrogate mother.

The babies, whom he will name Prince and Princess to live up to his Lord of Scent moniker, will be delivered on Sept. 22 in Russia.

“Pero gusto ko may second name. Dapat maganda pakinggan, maybe one syllable lang. Or maybe Duke or Duchess, parang ganon. hahanap siguro ako ng Biblical word. Meron akong book about Biblical names. Meron doong gift of God,” Joel said in an interview with select media at his mansion located at Canyon Woods in Tagaytay.

After delivery, the babies will have to stay for a month in Russia “kasi hindi pa sila puwedeng isakay sa eroplano.”

The entrepreneur is still undecided if he will stay for a month in Russia to be with his newborn children.

“Hindi ko pa masabi sa ngayon kasi ang plano ko two weeks, pero siyempre first time daddy ako so…”

But the one thing he is sure about is that his mom and his sisters will accompany him.

The Russian surrogate mom

Joel shared that he’s seen the mother of his twins.

“Nakita ko ‘yung picture niya. She’s 31, meron siyang dalawang anak. Noong six months na buntis siya pinadala ‘yung picture niya kasama ‘yung anak niya, six year old daughter and four year old daughter,” he shared.

“Yes nakita ko na ‘yung ultrasound pictures, but now we’re waiting for the 3D,” he also related.

One baby cost him almost seven million and now that the surrogate mom is due to give birth, he is required to pay for her hospital stay.

“Ni-require ako na bayaran ng P6,000  ang everyday stay niya sa hospital. Wala naman siyang sakit but they want to ensure her health kasi sa labas nga naman mausok, ‘yung mga ganoon.”

Citizenship

While there, Joel will process the legal documentations of his twins.

“Mamili ka kasi gusto mo ba ‘yung anak mo Russian or dual citizenship or Filipino lang. Sabi ko, Filipino lang para kung mag-tour man kami madaling kumuha ng visa,” he explained.

He’s got one worry, though, “na baka may maghabol, na baka hanapin nila ang kanilang Russian roots.”

As to where the babies will stay, he said, “Dito, sa condo, sa mother ko, kung saan man ako naroon.”

Joel is sure that with the twins coming, his workload will definitely change.

“Definitely, yes, pero minimal lang.  I have to balance my time. You know, I’ll just cross the bridge when I get there. Baka kalahati ng workload ko bitawan ko na. Hindi ko pa masabi kasi this is the very first experience. Gusto ko lagi silang nakikita, natatawagan. Hindi ko talaga masabi,” he said.

Hotel-like rest house

Joel’s Tagaytay crib is spacious, truly fit for royalty. It has an elevator, a spa, a sauna, a gym, a theater, a 28-seater dining area, an entertainment area, a pool and a helipad on the fifth floor.

“This is a rest house na kailangan na kapag nagpapahinga ka dito puwede ka nang mag-swimming, relax ka doon, manonood ka sa theater. Merong sauna, gym. There’s a lot of activities na magagawa mo rito. Dito hindi ka mabo-bore,” he explained about his decision to build a near palatial abode.
