Andi Eigenmann, the Siargao-based former actress, has finally spoken out about the recent viral video involving her fiancé, professional surfer Philmar Alipayo, and a woman named Crissa Liaging, also known as Criss Habibi on social media.

The Controversial Video

The video, which was posted on TikTok by Crissa herself, shows her talking and hanging out with Philmar at a bar in Siargao.

The clip quickly gained attention on social media, sparking rumors and speculations about the nature of their relationship.

Andi’s Response

In a statement released on her Instagram Stories, Andi expressed her thoughts on the matter.

She said that she doesn’t see any “harm” in what Philmar did, stating, “He can go out with his friends, go drinking every once in a while, and chat with whoever he wants”.

No harm in that.”However, she also called out the person who posted the video, saying, “What’s shameful is purposely posting and editing a video to cause a stir, disturbing the peace of people and dragging them into their negativity, just for some social media attention.“

Crissa’s Explanation

Shortly after Andi’s statement, Crissa also took to social media to address the issue.

In a post written in Bisaya, she denied the rumors surrounding her and Philmar, saying, “Hindi totoo ang inyong iniisip at hindi totoo ang mga naglalabasang isyu sa social media. Alam ko mga kaibigan na mali ko, ako rin ang naglaglag sa aking sarili.”

She acknowledged her mistake in posting the video and clarified that there was no flirting involved. “Walang flirting na nangyari dahil nasa public place kami.“

At hindi ko rin ma-please si Philmar the way siya tumingin at mag-act sa akin,” she explained.

Crissa also mentioned that she and Philmar were both drunk and happened to bump into each other at the bar while with their surfer friends. She reiterated that “walang nangyari sa amin” and said that this would be the last time she would address the topic.

Andi and Philmar’s Relationship

Andi and Philmar have been engaged since 2020, and their family, known as the Happy Islanders, is based in Siargao.

Earlier in May, Andi had to address breakup rumors when netizens noticed that Philmar was not with her on a trip to Japan with her family.

It was later revealed that Philmar had recently undergone a transesophageal echocardiogram procedure to relieve some difficulty he was experiencing from a congenital heart defect.

The Importance of Responsible Social Media Use

This incident highlights the importance of responsible social media use and the impact it can have on people’s lives.

Posting videos or content without considering the consequences can lead to unnecessary drama and speculation, causing distress to those involved.

As public figures, Andi and Philmar are no strangers to being in the spotlight. However, it is crucial for everyone, regardless of their status, to respect the privacy and personal lives of others.

Moving Forward

In light of this controversy, it is heartening to see Andi and Philmar’s mature and level-headed approach to the situation. Their focus on their family and their unwavering support for each other is a testament to the strength of their relationship.

As fans and followers, it is essential to remember that celebrities are human beings with their own lives and challenges. Instead of engaging in gossip and speculation, we should extend our understanding and support, especially during difficult times.
