LOOK: Andi Eigenmann gets ‘pechay’ instead of flowers from Philmar Alipayo

When Andi Eigenmann and her boyfriend Philmar Alipayo were just budding lovers, the professional surfer expressed his love for the actress by giving her a bouquet of vegetables, instead of the usual roses.

Alipayo recalled handing over a bundle of “pechay” to the love of his life by showing their supposed first photo together on his Instagram account last Wednesday, Aug. 19.

Eigenmann and Alipayo were all smiles as they sat beside each other, the actress holding her bouquet with both hands.

The actress was delighted to see the photograph as well.

“[I’ve] been looking for this pic,” she said. “[You] said nawala (it got lost)!”

Meanwhile, Eigenmann called out a Twitter page posing as her, through an Instagram Story. The actress said she does not have an account in the microblogging platform and requested her fans to unfollow and report the page.

“The real Andi knows that [that] AIN’T OUR FIRST PHOTO,” Eigenmann declared. “Nagkamali si @chepoxz (He got it wrong).”

The “fake” Twitter account took Alipayo’s photo and tried to pose as Eigenmann, saying  “I remember this is our first picture together and you gave me a pechay instead of flowers.”

Through the poser’s tweet, some netizens noticed that what the actress was holding was not pechay (Chinese cabbage) but mustasa (mustard cabbage).

Eigenmann and Alipayo are currently residing on the island of Siargao. The actress has a 1-year-old daughter with the surfer, named Lilo. She is also the proud mom of 8-year-old Ellie, who is her child with her ex-partner Jake Ejercito.  /ra
