In the wake of the controversy about the alleged third-party involvement of a Swedish woman in rocking the relationship between Philmar Alipayo and Andi Eigenmann, there are a lot of thoughts and notes scattered all over social media that purportedly speak of how the main protagonists think, decide and act on matters that concern their survival.
The Swedish woman is named Pernilla Sjoo who was indirectly accused of betrayal by Andi for being too literally close for comfort to Philmar.
One instance that provoked Eigenmann to react was the posting of a photo of Pernilla with Alipayo showing matching tattoo designs (224) inked in both their arms that signify “today, tomorrow and forever.”
Andi expressed her disappointment with her friend who she said fanned the fire to break up with her every time they had fights.
Pernilla said that she was hurt by the messages mentioning Andi’s name
Meanwhile, Philmar announced in his Facebook wall that he and Andi had reconciled over the rift. “We’re already okay,” he said in Visayan language.
Alipayo later said that he should have prevented the issue from being blown out of proportion by taking it to the public.
Sjoo has deleted all her social media accounts after she had encountered bashers throwing hatred on her.
Andi and Philmar’s household is back to normal and quiet.
But in one of her social media posts, Eigenmann expressed her inner feelings about camouflaging her real thoughts and emotions about family life in general. “Ang lakas lakas ko raw pero hindi nila alam na maraming beses na ako nakaramdam na parang gusto kong sumuko na lang. Pero 'pag naaalala ko ang mga anak ko, nagkakaroon ako ulit ng lakas para lumaban sa buhay (They say that I am strong but what they don’t know is there are many times that I thought I wanted to give up. But when I think of my children, I regain my strength to fight in my life),” she shared.
Andi has three kids, namely Ellie, her daughter with actor Jake Ejercito; and Lilo and Koa, her kids with Philmar.
Her children’s names are meaningful. Ellie, of course, is a modernized and hip of a name while Lilo means generous soul and Koa means warrior.
It’s worth telling that there are a lot of people who are concerned with the stability of the family of Andi and Philmar.
There are many Facebook accounts that express their love for the couple like a post from the It’s All About Andi and Phil account. The words of wisdom or pieces of advice are compassionate and caring, thus: “Wag kang maglihim. Maliit man o malaking bagay, mas maganda kung sinasabi natin lahat sa ating mga asawa. Para walang gulo at walang pagdududa (Be open. Things, big and small, are admirable if we tell them to our spouses so that there would be no troubles and distrust).
“Tandaan mo, once nagawa mo na ang maglihim, di na yan mawala sa isip niya. Mapapatawad ka nya pero sinira mo na ang tiwala niya. Mahirap na yan ibalik sa dati at magkaroon na ng lamat ang inyong pagsasama (Bear this in mind, once you keep a secret from your spouse, that wouldn’t be scrapped from his or her mind. You will be forgiven but you have already ruined his or her trust. It is difficult to bring it back the way it used to be and the union will be tarnished).
“Di mo sinasabi kasi magalit sya, kaya pinili mo nlang maglihim. No, it’s a big wrong, mas magandang magsabi ka ng totoo, magalit man sya pero lilipas din naman. Di na lalaki ang gulo at maappreciate din nya ang ginawa mo. Yun ay ang pagsabi ng totoo (You don’t say the truth because you’d think he or she would get angry. It’s better to tell the truth whether he or she gets mad because things shall pass. The trouble won’t blow up into proportions and you’d be appreciated. That is what happens when you say the truth).
“Napakahalaga ng transparency o pagiging open sa mag-asawa . Kaya kung may nilihim ka man sa kanya ngayon, sabihin mo na (Transparency is very important or openness between husband and wife. So if you plan to keep a secret or tell a lie, better spill it).”
This doesn’t apply exclusively to Philmar and Andi but to everyone.
