Champion surfer Philmar Alipayo celebrated Valentine’s Day with his fiancée, Andi Eigenmann, in a way that left fans talking. Instead of a traditional bouquet, he gifted her a handcrafted floral arrangement featuring a puso ng saging (banana blossom).
A Heartfelt Gesture
On Instagram, Alipayo posted a video where he personally picked a banana bud from a tree and decorated it with fresh flowers. He captioned it, “Bahala saging basta kinasing-kasing,” which means “It doesn’t matter if it’s a banana, as long as it’s from the heart.”
Eigenmann, clearly amused, joked with their kids, “Guys, look, we have lunch!” The children joined in, cheering and wishing their parents a Happy Valentine’s Day.
Addressing the Rumors
This affectionate moment came after weeks of speculation about their relationship. Fans noticed that Eigenmann and Alipayo unfollowed each other on Instagram, fueling breakup rumors. The speculation intensified when some of Eigenmann’s cryptic posts suggested hints of infidelity.
Alipayo finally set the record straight by sharing a video of him with Eigenmann and their daughter, stating, “Ok na kami. Sana ok ra kami,” which means “We’re good. Hopefully, we stay that way.” He admitted the issue escalated too far and should have been handled privately.
Family Visit in Siargao
Adding to the buzz, veteran actors Rosemarie Gil and Eddie Mesa—Eigenmann’s grandparents—visited her and the children in Siargao. The actress shared moments from their visit, posting a heartfelt caption, “Mama & Papa walking the streets of my neighborhood.”
Love Prevails
Eigenmann and Alipayo began dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2020. Despite recent challenges, their Valentine’s Day moment showed their bond remains strong. Their story continues to unfold, capturing the attention of fans who admire their journey.
