Philmar Alipayo confirms conflict with Andi Eigenmann

"Whatever you read is true."

Philmar Alipayo confirmed on Saturday morning that he and his fiancée, Andi Eigenmann, are currently facing conflicts, following speculations sparked by their recent activity on social media.

On Friday, eagle-eyed netizens noticed that Eigenmann and Alipayo had unfollowed each other on Instagram, fueling rumors of a rift between the couple.

In a series of Instagram stories, Alipayo addressed the situation, writing in his native language:

"Kon ono may galing ijo mga nabasahan koman tinood jaon. Waya nay tagoay kay mas malisod."

Translated into English, his message reads: "Whatever you read is true. No more hiding (lies) because it only makes things harder."

Eigenmann also seemingly shared her sentiments in a cryptic Instagram story, posting: "They stab you and pretend they are the ones bleeding."

Further adding to the intrigue, Alipayo posted another statement, saying:

"Kilaya man kamo kun ono ako na pagka tawo. So segoro kilaya sab kamo kon ona cja. Dili na nato taason an tanan."

This translates to: "You already know who I am, so maybe you already know who she is. No need to elaborate further."

In his final post, Alipayo acknowledged the criticisms he has been receiving amid the controversy.

"You all can call me a cheater and ugly now. Pero salamat sa mga tawo na no message sanan ka kilaya sa ako," he wrote, meaning: "You all can call me a cheater and ugly now. But thank you to the people who truly know me."

Alipayo and Eigenmann, who got engaged in 2020, share two children, Lilo and Koa. In April, they announced that their wedding plans had been put on hold as they continued to grieve the sudden passing of Eigenmann’s mother, veteran actress Jaclyn Jose.
