Actress and celebrity mom Andi Eigenmann had a very simple birthday celebration recently, a far cry from the parties she used to have in the past.
Eigenmann recalled the day she woke up with her family to celebrate her birthday on June 25, as seen on her Instagram page yesterday, June 27.
“I started my 31st year of life on Cloud 9 (literally)! I was woken up by a mañanita on my first birthday on the island,” she said, making reference to their island home in Siargao.
“We awaited the sunrise at the best place to do so, had breakfast, prepared nanay’s spaghetti for lunch and happily enjoyed the ‘handaan’ that papa, Angie, auntie Marilyn and uncle Epong had prepared for me!”

That was supposedly unusual because Eigenmann used to be the one who “usually do all the preps for [her birthdays] back home.”
“So this was different, but such a fun and memorable celebration nonetheless,” she said. She then thanked her family and friends for their efforts and greetings.
“To my friends and fam back home for remembering/ the messages/ and calling me up, to my NANAY for this beautiful gift of life, and to these people in my arms for making it so much more worth living. Thank you all for the greets as well,” she said.

On the same day, Eigenmann expressed her appreciation for her partner, surfer Philmar Alipayo, as they celebrated their anniversary.
“A relationship built by dreams,” Eigenmann stated on a separate post.
The actress acknowledged that they were from “very different worlds” and that what they have in common are their dreams.
“We had a lot of it! And I never thought it was possible but we took the leap anyway, and here we are now,” she said. “Here’s to many more memories and achieving our dreams one step at a time.”
Aside from Ellie, Eigenmann’s daughter with Jake Ejercito, she and Alipayo has two other children, Lilo and Koa. JB
