Andi Eigenmann and Jake Ejercito BANDERA FILE PHOTO
MANILA, Philippines — Jake Ejercito broke his silence on Twitter after his ex-girlfriend Andi Eigenmann’s interview, admitting that they have broken up, aired on “The Buzz” last Sunday.
“Andi was the only girl I loved for four years and still is my greatest love,” he posted on his Twitter account.
Eigenmann admitted on The Buzz that she had broken up with Ejercito after a photo of him kissing another girl circulated on the Internet. She said however that even before the photo came out, their relationship was already on the rocks.
“It’s not that Jake is not a good person but it came to a point that I wanted to give up. That was the point in my life when my dad got rushed to the hospital and I needed him the most, and he wasn’t there for me,” Eigenmann said.
She claimed that Ejercito stopped replying to her after he found out about his father’s condition. Her father, veteran actor Mark Gil, died early September due to liver cancer.
“First of all, I don’t deny that I’m not a perfect partner or boyfriend. I’ve [apologized] to Andi and to the people who matter most to us for all my shortcomings and I still regret a lot of things I did wrong or failed to do,” Ejercito said.
“I know a photo paints a thousand words. I am not washing my hands clean, but I did not intend for it to happen. If anything, my only slip-up was that I allowed it to happen,” he added.
Ejercito and Eigenmann were in an on and off relationship for a few years.
“Andi was the only girl I loved for four years and still is my greatest love. Before the incident, I discovered something that hit me like a truck. I am certainly not using it as an excuse, but it had a lot of bearing on how I reacted. I may not have chosen the best way to cope, but like what I said, I’m not perfect. And for that, I’ve also [apologized] to Andi.
Ejercito said he wanted to keep the issue personal and hoped it would be the last time to explain himself.
Eigenmann, also said that she has met someone who has helped her realize her worth, but denied that she was already in a new relationship. The guy was identified as Bret Jackson of the reality show Pinoy Big Brother.
