Andi Eigenmann revealed that while she has found peace and fulfillment in her life in Siargao, one regret continues to weigh heavily on her heart.

Although Andi often speaks about the joy and contentment she has found on the island, she admitted that losing both of her parents left a void that remains impossible to replace. She said that despite being genuinely happy with her life in Siargao, there is a hole that can never be filled because her mother and father never got the chance to see the life she built there, making the loss even more painful.
Mark Gil died in 2014 at the age of 52, while Jaclyn Jose passed away in 2024 at the age of 60. For Andi, their deaths represent more than the loss of her parents. She said what hurts most is knowing they never saw the life she built in Siargao—a place where she eventually found peace, purpose, and a deeper understanding of herself.
The actress also reflected on her relationship with showbiz following the passing of both of her parents, who were widely admired for their contributions to Philippine cinema and television. Even after stepping away from acting, Andi admitted that conversations about her life inevitably lead her back to thoughts of her parents and the legacy they left behind.

She shared that there are moments when she questions whether returning to the entertainment industry would help preserve her parents' legacy. However, she has also realized that honoring their names does not necessarily require following the same path they took, as there are other meaningful ways to give justice to everything they stood for.
While Andi embraced a life far removed from the spotlight, she expressed hope that her parents are somehow able to see the person she has become. She believes the resilience, authenticity, and strength they instilled in her gave her the courage to build a life that genuinely reflects who she is today.
“My mindset is just I hope that they can see me flourishing in this life and that it's who they are as authentic as strong people that inspired me to do the same and somehow it gets easier.”
“But I miss them and I feel like me living here on an island, being who I am, finally finding myself and being secure in this, I hope that I am making my dad happy.”
Andi also shared the moments she wishes her parents could have experienced in Siargao. She imagined her father spending time fishing and surfing with her fiancé, Philmar Alipayo, while picturing her mother enjoying the island in her own glamorous way by staying at Maison Bukana.
Looking back on the journey that led her to the peaceful life she now enjoys, Andi admitted that one thought continues to bring her to tears. Above all else, she wishes her parents had been able to visit Siargao, see the home she built, and witness the happiness she worked so hard to find.
“I'm sad they never got to this point, that they never got to visit me here or see this life that I've built for myself, but I sure hope they're proud.”
Andi Eigenmann is a former Filipino actress and model from a famous showbiz family, best known for her lead role in the fantasy series Agua Bendita. She later stepped away from mainstream entertainment to embrace an island lifestyle in Siargao, earning a large online following as a lifestyle, surfing, and family vlogger.
In the same interview, Andi candidly acknowledged being labeled a "nepo baby" because of her family's long-standing ties to the entertainment industry. The former actress admitted that having a well-known surname brought immense pressure to prove her own worth. She also revealed that growing up in the spotlight at a young age had a significant impact on her mental health.
Andi also spoke about her co-parenting relationship with Jake Ejercito, saying they prefer to keep it private while making it work. She admitted that raising their teenage daughter, Ellie, has become more challenging as she enters Grade 9. Andi added that their shared love for their daughter makes it easier to forgive each other and maintain a healthy relationship.
