<p>Former actress Andi Eigenmann expressed her regrets for not being able to share special moments with her parents, late actors Jaclyn Jose and Mark Gil, as well as her aunt, actress Cherie Gil.</p><p>In an interview with veteran host Boy Abunda, Andi shared how she felt after her mom passed away earlier this year.</p><p>“That was a bit heavy for me because I don’t live every day of my life thinking my mom could die tomorrow, which I don’t know if that was a mistake. Mali ba iyon? Hindi ko alam na ganoong pag-iisip ko. Hindi ko pinagdadasal o pinapangarap na mapuputol agad yung buhay ni Nanay tapos ang dami kong inaasahan na mga pangyayari sa taon na ito that involves her,” Andi shared.</p><div><iframe width="2279" height="937" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XKkCLW-xVRg" title="My Mother, My Story: Andi Eigenmann regrets not bringing her mother to Siargao (Episode 2)" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The Siargao-based actress also revealed that getting married to her partner, surfing champion Philmar Alipayo, is one dream that she wished her late mother was part of. It was a milestone that was more for her mom than herself.</p><p>“Ang pagpapakasal namin ni Philmar is also mostly more for her, kasi kami ni Philmar kahit hindi kami magpakasal, asawa ko na yan, asawa na namin ang isa’t isa,” she explained. “Para sa akin ayun yung mahalaga pero alam ko magiging masaya si Nanay kapag nagpakasal (kami).”</p><p>Andi added, “To me, she’s my most important guest at that wedding, supposedly.”</p><p>She clarified that they are still planning to get married, but are just waiting for the right and proper time.</p><p>“We are still gonna get married. It is still in the plan, and it is something that we want din naman. I (just) wanted to do it for her (too), but that’s not the only reason,” she said.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2024/4/5/andi-eigenmann-gets-emotional-in-first-vlog-after-mom-s-death-1303"><strong>READ: Andi Eigenmann gets emotional in first vlog after mom’s death<br/></strong></a></div><p>Recalling how her wedding would be a big milestone she would love to share with the most important people in her life, Andi emotionally admitted that it pained her to think that she couldn’t be with her mom, her dad Mark, and her Tita Cherie.</p><p>“It’s just a bit sad because it’s just a big milestone in anybody’s life is to get married din. My Dad is not around (anymore), and my Mom, and Tita Cherie (too). So, ang hirap para sa akin na isipin iyon kasi ito yung mga importanteng tao sa buhay ko at unti-unti na sila nawawala. Akala ko nandyan pa sila. Akala ko may oras,” she stated.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4rMcQ8SI2n/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=450&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A281813%2C%22ls%22%3A14553.700000047684%2C%22le%22%3A14625.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="638" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Despite losing them, Andi also shared what the life lesson she has learned from her experience.</p><p>“The biggest lesson for me is to learn how to make the people you love feel it the way they want to.
