Eigenmann, who is currently in Manila, said, “Our home there isn’t just our house. Our home is the island itself. Slowly we will rebuild. Slowly we will get back up again. It is their people that taught me the importance of working together as a community, how kindness and generosity goes along way. How we don’t really need to have much to be so happy.”
Earlier Eigenmann and Alipayo turned to “social media to ask for prayers after Odette made landfall in Siargao last Thursday.” (AW)
