A few days ago, Raphy Pina obtained the judge's approval to leave his house arrest for a few hours to attend his daughter's birthday party.

Besosa gave him five hours, from 11 in the morning to four in the afternoon, to enjoy it together with her family.

In addition to the daughter he has with Natti Natasha, Raphy has three more: Mia, 17, Rafael, 16, and Antonio, 14.
