Sa wakas ay sinagot ni Andi Eigenmann ang isyu na tumanggi siyang makipag-selfie sa mga turista sa Siargao.
Ethan David sa 'grooming' issue: 'I was the 13 yrs old being referred to!'
“This post is not to discredit Andi but we just want to know if the humble Andi on social media is the same as Andi in real life because I and my guests experienced that we wanted to take a picture with her twice but she didn’t allow us. When you heard about Siargao, one of the things that comes to your mind is their love story. So we’re excited to meet and take a picture with them but everything seems to be the opposite. We don’t judge her. We just want to know what your experience was when you tried to take a picture with her. Thanks,” isinulat ng isang online user sa isang Facebook group.
Sa isang serye ng Instagram stories, ipinaliwanag ni Andi ang kanyang panig at umapela para sa respeto at privacy habang nakatira sila sa Siargao.
“So dati nag no lang ako and I expect people to understand na wala eh, I quit showbiz na so go figure it na lang. But then, now, I understand that’s not the case because of our YouTube channel,” bungad ni Andi.
“Of course, I find it super cool that you know, you love watching our videos and seeing more of our kids every day or that has become your stress relievers. And I find it amazing that there are a lot of you that think that our life out here is something to admire or something to achieve, ‘di ba, for yourself. But of course, I also hope that you would understand that I’m human also and there are reasons, there are a lot of reasons why I move here to the island.
“Parang ang daya naman if sabihin niyo sa akin na ‘Kung ayaw mo magpa-picture, ‘wag ka lumabas.’ ‘Di ba, paano ako ‘di lalabas?”
“We would say when we can but may mga times na hindi talaga namin kaya and I hope you guys, if you really watch our family or support us and love us, sana you would understand tao lang din kami kagaya niyo,” aniya.
Pinuna rin ni Andi ang mga turista pumasok nang walang pahintulot sabakuran niya.
“We also know that the island is very small and it’s so easy to look for our house. Naiintindihan namin na maraming pumapasok sa bahay namin kasi wala pa kaming gate; it’s supposed to be B&B (bed and breakfast) or resort but that us not yet going to happen,” aniya.
“We don’t know yet when. We’re still enjoying this place as our home and I hope just like you guys, kapag nasa bahay kayo, it’s a place of rest.”
