Eigenmann described her mother as a “work of art” and stressed how positively she honors her memory.
“She’s a work of art. All of her own, with her many facets. Many personalities, many emotions. [Before] I feel like it’s hard for me because that’s how she is, but now remembering her that way, I only remember her that way in the most positive sense,” she explained.
Meanwhile, Eigenmann also recently made headlines after her fiancé, Philmar Alipayo, went viral after a video of him seemingly getting “flirty” with another woman made the rounds on social media.
“When I saw the video, I ignored it; I just looked at him. When I saw the video, I said, ‘ngek’ then I looked at him, ‘what’s this?’ and then I ignored it, and parang tumawa lang siya, pinagtawanan lang namin,” said Eigenmann, addressing the viral video.
“What bothered me is finding out that it was done on purpose, that the person in the video was the one that posted it. That’s what bothered me because then you just created something super unnecessary,” she added.
Eigenmann is Jose’s only daughter with the late actor Mark Gil.
