MANILA, Philippines – A little over a week after their alleged break-up made waves on social media, actress and content creator Andi Eigenmann and her long-time partner and fiancé, professional surfer Philmar Alipayo are once again in the limelight. This time, the couple got netizens’ attention for Philmar’s ‘puso ng saging’ (banana heart) bouquet for Valentine’s Day.
Philmar wrote in his post, “Bahala’g saging, basta kinasing-kasing” (It’s okay to only have/give bananas as long as they’re from the heart).

The surfer even included photos of him personally harvesting the banana heart and showing it off before creating the bouquet for the actress with whom he shares two children.
Other photos also showed Andi laughing and looking thrilled over the Valentine’s Day surprise.

Aside from the banana heart as the centerpiece of the bouquet, Philmar also added the flowers of ‘saging-saging’ (a flowering plant with banana-like leaves), santan, and other kinds of simple flowers that are easy to find in the yard.
A lot of netizens were amused over the images, commenting that Andi appears to truly love Philmar because she looks so happy in the photos, even if the Valentine’s Day gift was so simple and inexpensive. Others also commented that, of course, she truly loves Philmar because she had ‘easily’ forgiven him over the huge issue with the ‘couple tattoo’ he got with his lady ‘best friend.’

Still, others weren’t so easy to forgive and forget the issue, warning Andi to really take Philmar’s alleged infidelity seriously so she won’t keep on forgiving him for his ‘cheating’.
Some also joked that if the two were to really make up, then they should not fight anymore because the next one might involve the entire Philippines again.
‘Banana heart’ - an upgrade to a pechay bouquet?
Other netizens couldn’t help but dig up the past and resharing how Andi also appeared so happy after Philmar gave her a ‘bouquet’ of pechay.
