Andi Eigenmann cries in first vlog since mom Jaclyn Jose's passing: 'She loved watching Happy Islanders'


Andi Eigenmann is back with a new YouTube video a month after her mom, Jaclyn Jose, passed away.

In a vlog uploaded on their family YouTube channel, Happy Islanders, Andi said that she’s uploading a new video to maintain consistency in terms of showing their real and simple lives.

Andi remembered that her mom was the biggest fan of their YouTube page, including everything that she does.

“The whole purpose of me creating a vlog was also because being away from my family, having Happy Islanders, was the best way for me to keep her updated with my life here,” she said in tears.

“She's been my biggest fan with everything that I do and she loved watching Happy Islanders and our videos all the time,” she added.

Andi shared that when she checked Jaclyn’s phone, she saw that the last thing she watched on YouTube was a video from their channel.

“I just wanted you to know that although things have not been easy, I'd like to focus on spending time with my family and focusing on the good things, on what's there, and just making the most out of our time together because losing my nanay at such an unexpected time is proof that you don't know what tomorrow brings,” she said.

Andi also shared glimpses of her brother Gwen’s stay with her in Siargao.

“It's sad that he didn't get to come with our nanay, but we are going to make the most out of our time together nonetheless,” she said.

Jaclyn, born Mary Jane Guck, died on March 2 at 60 years old. Andi revealed that she died due to a heart attack.

Jaclyn’s death was first announced by her agency, PPL Entertainment. Her family, through the Philippine National Police, also previously said that there was no foul play involved.

Her other notable performances include starring and supporting roles in films such as "The Flor Contemplacion Story" and "Patay Na Si Hesus.” She also starred in several GMA Network series, including "Marimar," "The Millionaire's Wife," and "D'Originals."

The Eigenmann family, celebrities, and industry colleagues are mourning the award-winning actress and have paid tribute to her on social media.

Among the stars who visited Jaclyn’s wake include Dingdong Dantes, Alden Richards, Barbie Forteza, Andrea Torres, Gina Alajar, Gladys Reyes, Dominic Zapata, Ina Feleo, and many more.

Andi thanked Jaclyn’s Kapuso friends, saying it’s “so amazing for me to see how much you guys loved her so much.” —Carby Basina/JCB, GMA Integrated News
