It was a heartwarming and fun-filled reunion for the women of the Eigenmann clan, as Andi Eigenmann was surprised by her sisters Max and Stevie, along with her daughter Ellie and niece Gabbie, during their recent trip to Siargao.
In a video posted by Stevie, the Eigenmann girls pulled off a surprise visit to Andi while she was busy working at their family-owned Happy Islanders Surf Club and Café.
“Some surprises and ugly cryin 💟,” Stevie captioned in a post.
A video capturing the emotional moment showed Andi bursting into tears as she unknowingly served her sister at the café.
Max also shared her excitement in the comments, writing: “🥹🥹🥹❤️❤️❤️ can't believe we pulled it off! Ilysm @andieigengirl,” Max said in a comment.
On her Instagram Story, she added: “Surprising my little sister (Andi) at Happy Islanders Surf Club in her home island.”
Andi later reposted the moment with the caption: “MAIYAK IS MY LOVE LANGUAGE.”
Maricar Jacinto Eigenmann also commented, “Good job guys!! Hahahahaha @stevieeigengirl @maxeigenmann @gabbieeigenmann @ellieeejercito Awwwww @andieigengirl. Enjoy the sister bonding and crazy fun!!😍🥰😘.”
The reunion became a true island adventure, as the sisters spent their time surfing, sightseeing, and indulging in their favorite food. In a drone video posted by Ken Monton, popularly known as Byaheng Filipinas on Instagram, the Eigenmann women were seen skillfully riding the waves at the iconic Cloud 9 surfing spot.
“Sunrise surf at Cloud 9 today @andieigengirl @stevieeigengirl @maxeigenmann #byahengfilipinas #dji #djiair3s #djiair3sphotography #drone #dronevideo #dronephotography #surfing #siargao.” said in the caption.
Andi shared glimpses of a cozy dinner with her children Lilo, Koa, and partner Philmar Alipayo. Philmar also posted group photos of the Eigenmann women at their surf club with the caption: “d eigengirls.”
Meanwhile, Gabbie, daughter of Gabby Eigenmann, also joined the fun, captioning her photo: “Eigengyals in mah hood!!!”
Stevie summed up their vacation in one post: “the slow life, AF.”
Adding a touch of community spirit, Andi posted a video of Max and Stevie, along with youngest daughter Lilo, helping clean up their shop's surf-themed décor marred by vandals.
“Supportive sisses (happy emojis) Helping us erase the people who vandalized our pro-surfer autograph board (three sad emojis),” she wrote.
To give her sisters the full Siargao experience, Andi even brought them to a local fiesta in the town of Libertad.
“Brought my sissies to fiesta de libertad!” Andi said with photos of her sisters enjoying the food.
The fun didn’t stop there. Ellie, Andi’s daughter with Jake Ejercito, joined in on a trending TikTok challenge with her cousins.
“When the eigencousins finally link up in Siargao,” the caption read. “chaotic, of course 🥚.”
Andi even joked, “debut of Ellie’s mouth actually moving.”
The surprise visit came shortly after Andi celebrated her 35th birthday last month. Reflecting on her journey, she wrote:
"I turned 35.✨ embracing the privilege of going on another lap around the sun.🌞 Growing wiser, and with a deeper appreciation for the simple island life I chose," she remarked.
She ended her message by expressing her gratitude: "The life I get to live with my family and loved ones is a gift in itself already, and receiving warm greetings from all of you is the cherry on top. My heart is full. Thank you!"
