MELAI CANTIVEROS – Surfer Philmar Alipayo’s Valentine’s video elicited a reaction from Melai Cantiveros.

Melai Cantiveros recently reacted to the Valentine’s Day video posted by champion surfer Philmar Alipayo. The video, which quickly gained attention online, showcased Philmar’s unique and heartfelt preparation of a bouquet for his longtime partner, Andi Eigenmann.

Unlike the usual bouquets wrapped in fancy paper, Philmar chose a more creative and symbolic approach. He used a large banana bud, known as “puso ng saging” in Filipino, as the wrap for his floral arrangement. This unconventional yet thoughtful gesture captured the hearts of netizens, including comedienne Melai Cantiveros.

Melai Cantiveros took to the comments section to express her admiration for Philmar’s gesture, saying that this was the true definition of “astig” (cool). She further encouraged the couple to continue loving each other, writing in Visayan, “Kani gyud ang bagsik kinasing kasing ang paghigugma. Padayun sa paghigugmaay.” Translated into Tagalog, her comment means, “Eto talaga yung astig, pagmamahal na may puso. Patuloy lang sa pagmamahalan.”

Philmar’s video also featured a caption that seemed to reflect his simple yet profound love for Andi. His effort highlighted the authenticity and sincerity of their relationship, particularly resonating with fans who admire their laid-back island lifestyle.

This public display of affection comes after recent speculations about trouble in their relationship. Just days prior, cryptic messages on social media had sparked concern among their followers, with many wondering if there were deeper issues between the two. Andi later clarified that infidelity was not a factor in their relationship struggles, easing some of the public’s worries.

With Philmar’s heartfelt Valentine’s gesture, fans can now find comfort in the idea that the couple remains strong despite previous tensions. His choice of using a banana bud—a staple in their simple island life—symbolizes resilience, authenticity, and enduring love.

While the couple’s recent challenges cannot be ignored, this sweet moment serves as a reminder that love is about sincerity and effort, rather than extravagance. As they continue their journey together, their supporters remain hopeful that their love will endure whatever waves come their way.
