Andi Eigenmann slams viral woman with Philmar Alipayo for ‘causing a stir’

Andi Eigenmann aired her dismay toward a woman whose “friendly” video with Philmar Alipayo became viral, stressing the clip was edited and posted “for some social media attention.”

In a TikTok video earlier shared by one Crissa Liaging, she and Alipayo are talking while standing next to each other. At one point in the clip, Alipayo leans his head close to Liaging’s while looking at her face. He also playfully kicks her leg while holding her waist. 

Liaging has already taken down the video—which used SWV’s song “Weak” as background music—from her TikTok page as of this writing, but it has been re-uploaded by netizens on social media.

Eigenmann then took to her Instagram Stories on Monday, May 27, to address the video albeit making no mention of Liaging or even Alipayo. 

“He can go out with his friends, go drinking every once in a while, and chat with whoever he wants. No harm in that,” the actress began.

“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,” she added.

Liaging also spoke up on the matter in a separate TikTok video, clarifying that she and Alipayo were not flirting and that there were a lot of people around them at the time, who were just not captured in the clip.

She, however, admitted that it was a misjudgment on her part to have shared the clip which was misinterpreted by netizens.

Meanwhile, it appears that all is well between Eigenmann and Alipayo as the couple shared photos of them together at their Siargao store.

Eigenmann and Alipayo have two children together named Lilo and Koa. The couple, who have been engaged since December 2020, earlier disclosed that they postponed their 2024 wedding in view of the recent death of Eigenmann’s mother, veteran actress Jaclyn Jose.
