*”We still maintain a good relationship. The most important thing is that we take care of Ellie together and maintain harmony.”*

– *”If Jake and Andi get back together, they’ll definitely be one of the hottest couples in showbiz!”*
– *”They’re just raising Ellie together, don’t overthink it!”*
– *”This might make Philmar uncomfortable!”*
Regardless of the truth, it’s clear that the relationship between Jake Ejercito and Andi Eigenmann is still a hot topic. The public is still waiting for an official response from Andi to clear up any misunderstandings.

The Kapamilya young actress began her blog entry by saying what the “advantage” of social media is for her.
Andi said she uses social media as a “way of properly telling people how I feel or what I want to say, without the press getting it wrong or twisting my words around, well, since I am already writing it myself.”
After this, the young actress revealed her feelings about her mother’s statements regarding Jake’s family’s apparent opposition to their relationship.

ANDI’S BLOG POST. Here is Andi Eigenmann’s full blog post titled “Since Chismis is Easily Spread Around, Maybe Something Sincere Would Too”:
I never write entries anymore but I guess this is one advantage of social media. I can use this as a way of properly telling people how I feel or what I want to say, without the press getting it wrong or twisting my words around, well, since I am already writing it myself.
On behalf of my mother, I’d just like to apologize for certain things she might have said that might have put certain people in a bad light. I know for a fact that it wasn’t her intention at all. Maybe at that point, she too was only being a mom. Just as your parents would want whats best for you, she just wants the same for me, and this time Im guessing she just wanted to let others know that I deserve it too. (in her opinion that is). I’m not angry at my mother, don’t get me wrong. Besides the fact that I’m not allowing myself to, because I have respect for her, I also know that she couldn’t have possibly done that to throw Jake and I under the bus on purpose.
Anyway, off to my point. Wait, what is my point?
I just really hope Id be granted an opportunity to apologize personally, to show more sincerity than this blog post. But I guess this could be a good way to start. Maybe somehow Id be heard. Well just in case, here goes. I wouldn’t have fallen in love with such a fine young man if not for the amazing parents he has that surely raised him well. People who brought him up to be the smart, kind hearted, humble gentleman that he is. Therefore, I know for a fact that it will be wrong for all of you to judge his parents negatively just because they only want what’s best for him. Now that Im a mother myself, its easier for me to see the picture from their angle. Both from my mom’s and his. I may not be as experienced as they are, Maybe I have yet to gain even half the amount of wisdom they have, but what I’m sure of is that both our parents will do anything just as long as we, the children, will never be put to harm. So just as a lot of you may understand my situation and believe that I still deserve to be loved and respected amidst what I have gone through, we should all understand that his parents only want the best for their son. I can attest to the fact that they do not have closed minds at all and that there may be two sides to this story as well. I will do the honor of throwing myself under the bus, myself, by trying to speak on behalf of them too. The mistake I made in the past was not the fact that I had Ellie. It goes beyond that. Obviously, Ellie wouldn’t have happened if her dad was out of the picture already. And then maybe Jake and I could have lived happily ever after.. I trust that you guys be smart enough to figure that one out for yourselves.
Normally, the Andi that learned from her mistakes would have just chosen to keep quiet and wait for things to die down. I would have chosen to leave all this up to God and trust that he’d keep Jake and I happy. But its harder when its someone else you truly care about that gets affected. I know maybe I’ll never be good enough for him in other people’s eyes. But I also know that because I care a lot, I can prove them wrong. I’m not perfect, and I’m only human. People make mistakes. But that doesn’t mean they weren’t allowed to learn from them and deserve forgiveness too.
