LOOK: Is Andi on vacation with Jake?

MANILA - Actress Andi Eigenmann recently took some time off to explore the beaches in Thailand, as seen on her Instagram account.

In the past week, the 25-year-old Eigenmann has been sharing shots of her trip paired with poignant quotes from the likes of acclaimed author Mark Twain.

In one particular photo, she wrote: "It's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something, and if you find that moment, it lasts forever."

But aside from the contemplative words and the gorgeous scenery, fans took note that her former boyfriend, actor Jake Ejercito, also shared photos of a similar-looking island.

It has since fueled speculation, not only of them being together on a vacation, but also that of a possibility that the two might have rekindled their past romance.

In an interview last November, Eigenmann said that she considers Ejercito as the "father" of her daughter Ellie.

"When I was pregnant, Jake was there for me. He took care of us, so he's the father. That's my point lang... I mean, it's as simple as that," she said.

Eigenmann also claimed that she will never get back together with Ejercito, whom she broke up with two years back.

The actress, however, considers Ejercito to be her "first and greatest love."

She said: "And you can’t just forget that easily."

Erap no comment about son Jake and Andi

MANILA – Former President and now Manila Mayor Joseph “Erap” Estrada has chosen to keep mum when asked to comment about the love life of his son, Jake Ejercito.

In an interview with “Buzz ng Bayan” aired on Sunday, Estrada briefly said “no comment” when asked if he is in favor of his son’s supposed relationship with actress Andi Eigenmann.

Estrada said his son is old enough to decide on what he thinks is best for him. “He can handle himself. He’s a very intelligent boy,” he said.

Estrada, however, admitted that he already met the “Galema” actress, who was spotted in one of Estrada’s sorties when he was campaigning in Manila.

The Manila mayor also said he will not meddle with Ejercito should he decide to settle down.

“Bahala siya. He’s old enough to decide for himself, for his future,” he said.

Ejercito is Estrada's son with former movie actress Laarni Enriquez.

In a previous interview, Estrada denied that he was against the relationship of Ejercito and Eigenmann. "Hindi totoo 'yon, never, never," he said.

Andi denies reconciliation with ex Jake Ejercito

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.

Jaclyn Jose says rift with Andi over

MANILA, Philippines -- All's well that ends well for veteran actress Jaclyn Jose and her daughter Andi Eigenmann, who had a rift that led to the split up between the young actress and then-boyfriend Jake Ejercito.

"Sa akin, ako ang ina ni Andi. Mag-ina kami mula ng ipinanganak ko. Kahit hindi pa siya artista eh, mag-ina na kami. Away at lambingan lang 'yan, ang sangkap ng mag-ina. Ganoon lang 'yon," Jose told reporters on Tuesday.

"Pero wala ng problema. We are living in one house, staying in one house. We love each other dearly. 'Di ako pwede magalit sa kanya ng ganoon katindi. Anak ko 'yan, mahal ko 'yan," she added.

The mother and daughter had a misunderstanding after Jose revealed that the parents of Ejercito were not in favor of Eigenmann.

Eigenmann previously admitted that she and her mom didn't talk for weeks following Jose's statements about Ejercito's parents, former President Joseph Estrada and retired actress Laarni Enriquez.
