In a series of tweets posted Thursday and Friday, actress Andi Eigenmann once again took to task former boyfriend Jake Ejercito in response to his reported plan to file a petition for joint custody of their five-year old daughter Adrianna Gabrielle, nicknamed Ellie.
Andi was obviously upset when she started her tirade but her initial tweets were not exactly clear on whom she was referring to.
I'd rather be a little nobody, than an evil somebody like you.

Stand up for your right. Even if you stand alone!

Although she never mentioned his name, Andi’s later tweet about “real justice” prevailing “over a family with power and (lots of money)” was an obvious reference to Jake and his family as it also echoed her initial reaction when news about Jake’s joint custody petition was reported early this month.
In an earlier report by ABS-CBN News, Andi was quoted as saying that she was very much open to talking to Jake and his family when it came to what was best for Ellie.
“But they don’t want to talk to me. I understand they are powerful, they are wealthy, they can solve anything through more complicated stuff,” the 26-year-old actress and daughter of acclaimed screen actress Jaclyn Jose by the late Mark Gil.
I still believe that real justice can prevail in this country. Even if you are up against a family w power and (lots of) money.

Please prove to me that these people have hearts and it isnt all abt image to them.
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 20, 2017
I take to twitter because it seems as though they only care to take notice when its their image at risk.
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 20, 2017
These people are the same people who only think of themselves and not anybody else. Ever.
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 20, 2017
Sucks to know that there really are heartless people in this world. Sucks even more to know they are the ones in power.

Recalling her personal history with Jake, who only admitted to being Ellie’s biological father five years after she was born and only after it was confirmed by a DNA test, Andi said that her biggest mistake was choosing him, “over anybody else, over and over again.”
How do u find it easy to talk to someone who thinks u deserve 0 respect from them? This person doesnt even realise why it was hell w him.
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
You made me hate myself even more than I already did. And you loved it.
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Whatever reason you have for giving up, if u really love ur child, anything shouldve been possible. Anything should be easy enough.
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Andi then proceeded to question Jake’s motivation for filing the joint custody petition and even asked what kind of father he had been to Ellie.
You had time. Why only now? Tell me, is this really about love? Or out of spite?
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Youve been doing nothing but sit around as u watch ur yaya do ur job for u and u think u can be a better parent?
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Or was this court case not your decision too?? Come on, grow a pair. This is why u lost me.
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Its been yrs, and ur 1st move as a dad is to take the child away from the mom to be raised by ur yayas? Come on mannn.
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
You spent so much time trying to bring me down, now I guess its just fair that i start questioning YOU.
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Andi also lectured Jake on the importance of a mother to a child.
How can I find it easy to respect u when u think that setting the mother up for a downfall is whats best for her child??
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Shouldnt u know how impt a mother is to a child? Come on ur 27 and u still need urs to do everything.
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
Mahirap mawalan ng anak, pero mahirap din mawalan ng isang ina.
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 20, 2017
I am not too proud to admit that i feel this way because i feel so hurt and deafeated. I feel this way because i love my child..
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 20, 2017
In one of her last tweets, Andi took a surprising conciliatory tone, hoping that Jake would no longer pursue the joint custody case.
I couldve ran away. But im better than that. I also believed you are better than this. My child loves you. Dont be that person.
— Andi Eigenmann (@andieigengirl) April 21, 2017
As of this posting, Jake had yet to respond to Andi’s tirade. However, in an interview with Pep.ph, he refuted what Andi said about him and his family not open to communicating with her.
“Hindi aabot sa ganito na magpa-file kami ng case kung nakakausap siya nang maayos. We tried going through a lot of people. Actually, we started preparing for a case late last year pa, but hindi naman itinutuloy kasi we’re hoping na mapag-usapan. So it’s a bummer na pinapalabas nila na hindi ka marunong makipag-usap,” Jake said.
Jake added that he was not really asking for much. “It’s only right for a father to spend time with his daughter. That’s very important for a child’s formative years,” he pointed out.
