Mark Gil, Jaclyn Jose continue to back daughter
MANILA -- Andi Eigenmann has denied that she and former boyfriend Jake Ejercito have reconciled.
The Kapamilya actress took to micro-blogging site Twitter on Friday to explain her recent trip to London, where she reportedly spent time with Ejercito.
In a series of tweets, the "Agua Bendita" star said, "Jake and I haven't been together since last year and though it broke my heart, I was strong enough to accept that it just cannot be. I just dont understand why after I lost him, i still have to keep suffering from peoples judgments and accusations."
In November last year, a tearful Eigenmann confirmed on national television that she and Ejercito had broken up. The separation came after the actress' mother, actress Jaclyn Jose, said in an interview that Ejercito's parents are supposedly against his relationship with Eigenmann.
Ejercito is the son of former President Joseph Estrada and former actress Laarni Enriquez.
Following the breakup, Ejercito went on record to say that his relationship with Eigenmann "overlapped" with the actress' ties with actor Albie Casino, with whom she has a baby girl named Ellie.
Of the recent "intrigues" his daughter has had to face, Eigenmann's father, actor Mark Gil, said it is par for the course for public figures like the Kapamilya actress.
"Nagkakaroon lang ng spice kasi mundo ng showbiz 'to eh, but that's life and that's how it is. Hindi naman siguro mawawala ang intriga, pero I'm sure by now, alam na nila how to handle things," he told ABS-CBN News.
Jose, meanwhile, has chosen to keep from commenting publicly on her daughter's personal life. This, after her publicized remark about Ejercito's parents admittedly caused a rift between her and the young actress.
"Okay kami ni Andi eh. I'd rather keep my friendship with my daughter, than to say anything regarding the matter. I love her so much, I don't want to fight with her anymore," she said.
However, the veteran actress said she hopes Eigenmann will have her priorities straightened.
Asked for her message to Eigenmann's loyal supporters, Jose said, "Nagpapasalamat ako kasi sinu-support parin nila si Andi no matter what."
"Si Andi naman is doing her best to do her job well, and to be nice with everybody. Except for 'yung kanyang personal life talaga, medyo magulo. Sabi ko sa kanya, concentrate na muna sa career and kay Ellie," she said.
