Andi Eigenmann shared an old picture of her and her late mother, Jaclyn Jose, and penned a heartfelt poem recalling how the esteemed actress raised her.
On Instagram on Tuesday, March 19, Eigenmann posted a picture of her as a child with Jose, whose real name was Mary Jane Guck, and affirmed that she grew up the way she is because of her mother’s faith in her.
“She built me up like a mountain at sunrise and painted my sky with gentle hands. And when she told me I could be anything, I believed her because I saw how much I could grow with even a little of her light.” wrote Eigenmann.
On her Instagram story, Eigenmann posted another old picture of her as a teen, her mom, and her younger brother, Gwen Guck. On the next slide, the actress shared that her brother is currently with her family in Siargao.

The seasoned actress’ children are still reeling from her unexpected death earlier this month. As confirmed by Eigenmann, her mother died due to a myocardial infarction, or heart attack, at 60 years old.
Aside from the veteran actress’ family, fans and fellow actors in the industry continue to mourn her death. Also on Tuesday, actor Gardo Versoza took to Instagram to share a beautiful picture of the “Ma’ Rosa” star when she was still young.
“I’m sure alam mo na ang mga kaganapan Abe, at katawa-tawa ‘di ba? Pang Cannes ang mga performances. Miss kita Abe, ‘pag pinayagan ka ni Ama dalaw ka lang sa akin anytime. Dami kong blind items sa iyo hehehe. [Love you] Abe, ‘musta sa mga nanay natin I’m sure sarap ng kwentuhan n’yo d’yan,” he wrote.
“I’m sure you know the events, Abe, and it’s ridiculous, isn’t it? The performances are at Cannes. I miss you, Abe, if Father allows you to visit me anytime. I have a lot of blind items for you. I love you, Abe. Say hello to our mothers. I’m sure your conversations there are so fun.)
