Now, Jake breaks his silence about his relationship with Eigenmann.
He was the one who had a change of heart, and he really sent a message to Eigenmann saying: "I don’t feel the same anymore.”
“Alam mo naman 'yung mom ko, very low-profile since nawala siya sa showbiz. Tapos, 'yung dad ko pa, di ba? Nakakahiya naman sa dad ko. Pero 'yun nga, buti kung may basis, e, 'yung insinuations ni Tita Jane. Kaso lang, hindi talaga, e. Wala, e. Yung ‘Baka ayaw ng parents niya,’ hindi talaga ganu’n, e. Alam niya ‘yon. Even si Andi. Andi wouldn’t have reacted that way kung tama ang insinuations ng mom niya,” he explained.
He revealed that until now she continues to apologize for what happened.
"Kasi nga, hindi niya pa rin madiretso 'yung mom ko. So, until now, nagso-sorry pa rin siya. Hiyang-hiya siya," he said.
“Siguro, basically, 'Stay strong.' I mean, Ellie needs you. I’m happy for you na kahit paano, di ba? Konti lang ang nakakagawa nung nakakabalik pa. So, 'yun ang message ko sa kanya. Keep it up with her career, take care of Ellie. Ang cute-cute na bata!”
“Sa mommy niya naman, I mean, wala namang nawala sa respect ko sa kanya. Siguro, may mga nasabi lang siya na siguro nabigla din siya. Nandun pa rin 'yung respect ko sa kanya and everything. Sumama lang 'yung loob ko nang konti, pero Tita Jane pa rin siya sa akin,” he added.
He said that he is not closing his doors on the possibility of reconciliation with her. He will concentrate on his studies first.
“Well, nothing is impossible naman po, di ba? Pero, as of now, mukhang sobrang lumabo po bigla, e. After nung interview ni Tita Jane [Jaclyn Jose], siguro after some time, 'pag naayos na namin, 'pag naayos ‘yon, either parents muna…Pero kasi po, 'yun nga, wala naman ako sa posisyon na hindi sumunod sa parents ko, na parang, ‘Hindi ko kayo susundin, kami na lang ni Andi!’ Nag-aaral pa ako. Nasa London pa nga ako, napakasuwerte ko. So, pagbubutihin ko ang pag-aaral ko,” he said.
Meanwhile, he said that there was a point when he and actor Albie Casiño were both in a relationship with the young actress.
According to an interview with the entertainment website, Philippine Entertainment Portal, he explained that Eigenmann was already his girlfriend even before the actress got pregnant.
“The thing is, before siya mabuntis, kami na. I think my mom mentioned in an interview na… nakita niya kasi ako eh. One time, nung mag-LQ (lovers’ quarrel) kami ni Andi, nasa Manila ako. Bumalik ako ng London kasi start na ng school. Pagbalik ko, sila na ulit ni Albie. Pero hindi kami nag-break or anything. Nag-away lang kami. Pagbalik ko, biglang buntis na, gano’n,” he said
“Basically, yes [nag-overlap]. And it’s because of that kaya medyo nasaktan… Siyempre, nanay ka eh, ‘di ba? Siyempre, masasaktan ka rin para sa anak mo,” he said.
But despite what happened, he still stood by Eigenmann's side.
He was asked if Casiño knew about the supposed "overlapping," he said: “Hindi ko alam, e. Ewan ko. Hindi ko alam. I’m not sure.”
He defended his parents, saying they never told him to stay away from her even if she already has a child out of wedlock.
“Kasi, after the interview [ni Jaclyn Jose, Eigenmann’s mom], siyempre may mga nagtu-tweet. May comments na medyo nakakasakit. Kasi parang ang nakuha ng tao, ang pinapalabas ni Tita Jane, dahil lang nabuntis si Andi, nagkaanak si Andi, pinagbawalan na ako ng parents ko. So, parang nagmamalinis sila,” he said.
“But then, my parents, both their lives are open book. Alam naman ng mga tao 'yung nangyari sa kanila, 'yung relationship ng parents ko. Never silang nagmalinis. So, hindi lang dahil nabuntis si Andi kaya ano… dahil nandun pa rin nga ako, e,” he added.
“Well, napanood naman natin 'yung reaction ng dad ko [sa 'TV Patrol']. Totoo 'yung sinabi niya na, both my parents, never nila akong pinagbawalan kay Andi. 'Yun lang, nung nabuntis si Andi, they just told me to be careful, to watch out, to look after myself lang. But not necessarily bawal na, ‘Itigil n’yo na ‘yan!’ Walang gano’n. Kasi, kung ganun man, matagal nang wala ‘to, e. Matagal nang natapos sana,” he said.
