Marami man ang naging kritiko, marami rin ang humahanga sa relasyon ni Andi Eigenmann at ng champion surfer na si Philmar Alipayo. At sa pamamagitan ng kanilang ginawang Q&A kuwentuhan sa kanilang vlog, ibinahagi nila kung sino nga ba ang sinuwerte sa kanila sa kanilang relasyon.
Sa Siargao na ang tinuturing na tahanan ni Andi kung saan lumalaki ang kanyang pamilya kasama si Philmar.
Hindi pangkaraniwan ang kanilang love story at aminado ang champion surfer na hindi ganoon kadali na magkaroon ng isang partner na celebrity. Dahil sa kanilang relasyon ay maraming bashers ang pumuna sa kanila.
Ani Andi, “I didn't expect that we would get haters or that because of me, people would be saying bad or mean, negative things to Philmar just because of his skin color and also because he's from the province. I hope that, I hope that Filipinos will get rid of the mentality that if you're from the province, that you are not successful, that that means you're inferior to everyone else who is finding jobs in the city. Because that is not, that's not the meaning of success and also every person is different.
“There are people who really think that life for them is much better and gives them meaning staying on an island. Just like me and Philmar, and that's why we're happy together here. We're here because we want to be here and he never left the island because he wants to be on the island. It doesn't mean because he's not successful.”
Alam din nina Andi at Philmar na maraming nagsasabing hindi sila bagay dahil taga-isla lang daw ang huli.
Buwelta ng dating aktres, “'Taga-isla ka lang?' Don't ever say that's a lang-lang thing because to me you guys are the richest, you know, the richest people on earth to be surrounded by such beauty, nature, and living in paradise like this. Right? That's why I feel, I feel so lucky.”
Mas suwerte man si Philmar sa mata ng iba, si Andi ang nagpapasalamat dahil natagpuan niya ang kanyang partner ngayon.
Maliban sa si Philmar mismo ang humuhuli ng kanilang pagkain, marami pang ibang nagustuhan si Andi sa kanya.
Paliwanag niya, “We live here on an island and I know that I won't be living here or become so lucky to have this as my life if not for him. Because this is his home and I'm so happy that he shared his home with me.
“He's really taking care of me and us in a way that I've never really experienced before. And it's just so cool and what makes it even cooler is to him that's not a problem. That's no sweat. 'Yung parang walang complaint or walang hinihinging kapalit.”
Masaya rin ang dalawa dahil pareho sila ng pananaw sa buhay. Alam nina Andi at Philmar na maaabot pa rin nila ang kanilang mga pangarap kahit may pamilya na sila. Nais din daw nilang masundan pa si baby Lilo.
Patuloy ni Andi, “Hindi siya natatakot na magbi-build kami ng life together. Because I feel to some, parang going on the next step is a different story. Because most city people want to put their career first, and just like me, Philmar believes that whatever we want to achieve, our dreams, we can still achieve that even when we have a family. And both of us really, really, really want a family. 'Yung big, and complete, and just happy, so I'm happy. It's so fun we get to do that together.
“When we have another kid after Lilo because we can only have one more kid, we really want to have another kid… Normally you're supposed to really think about that but he makes me feel like, 'it's really scary, it's really gonna be hard, and it's gonna be tough but nothing we can't do when we're together, when we have each other.
Bigay-diin din ni Philmar, “It's hard. Nothing is easy but if you're strong together, it wil become easier. It will work out.”
Sinagot din nila kung ano ang kanilang pinag-aawayan, kung naaartehan ba si Philmar kay Andi, kung selosa ba si Andi, at pati na ang kuwento ng viral photo nila kung saan may buhat na balde ang dating aktres.
