With Jake Ejercito recently filing a petition for joint custody of five-year-old daughter Ellie, Andi Eigenmann expressed her anxiety and anger over the issue. The actress posted a series of emotionally charged tweets against Jake.
I take to twitter because it seems as though they only care to take notice when its their image at risk.

Mahirap mawalan ng anak, pero mahirap din mawalan ng isang ina.

The biggest mistake I made was choosing you, over anybody else, over and over again.

These people are the same people who only think of themselves and not anybody else. Ever.

Sucks to know that there really are heartless people in this world. Sucks even more to know they are the ones in power.

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..

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.

You made me hate myself even more than I already did. And you loved it.

Whatever reason you have for giving up, if u really love ur child, anything shouldve been possible. Anything should be easy enough.

You had time. Why only now? Tell me, is this really about love? Or out of spite?

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?

Or was this court case not your decision too?? Come on, grow a pair. This is why u lost me.

Typical spoiled mama's boy move: blame everything on others and take 0 responsibility for it.
— 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.

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 ended her rant with more levelheaded words, though.
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
Entertainment news portal PEP later asked Andi about her tweets by sending her a direct message on Instagram. Andi disclosed to PEP's Arniel Serato: "If there was ever a time that I didn't want joint custody, it was in the past, when I was in love with him and in pain, and said things out of impulse."
She added, "But now that I have no feelings at all for him whatsoever, and living a good life without him, I'm only thinking of the well-being of my daughter. And I believe that having him be a part of it would be great for my child."
Another PEP report discussed Jake's reaction to Andi's latest rant. Jake told PEP's Gorgy Rula: "You know, nakain ko na yung pride ko, basically. And now you hear her saying na 'heartless' ang mga Ejercitos. It's overgeneralization. Dinamay na niya buong pamilya ko. It's really…Hindi ko maintindihan saan nanggagaling."
