MANILA, Philippines — Mikee Cojuangco’s son, Robbie Jaworski, is strikingly her male version in a dapper suit as he walked the white carpet of Star Magical Christmas Ball in Solaire North in Quezon City, days after signing with ABS-CBN’s talent arm, Star Magic.
Robbie is considered a “showbiz royalty,” a term often used to refer to children whose parents made marks in Philippine showbiz. He is the son of former actress and athlete Mikee, who during her heydays starred in movies that paired her with Aga Muhlach, and TV shows, including a weekly anthology on GMA-7.
