On December 16, super typhoon Odette first made landfall on Siargao which reportedly caused billions-worth of damages. Other parts of Visayas and Mindanao were also affected as it made its next landfalls on other islands.
Last week, Andi Eigenmann along with her children and fiancé Philmar Apayo flew to Manila to attend her best friend’s wedding in Batangas. However, their flight going back to their home in Siargao was canceled due to the super typhoon.
Yesterday, the actress/influencer has appeared to finally make her way back to the island and shared the devastation in Siargao. Scattered pieces of wood, fallen trees, and roofless structures were seen in the video. She wrote: “Catangnan. On the way to ours…wiped.” Watch it below:

Although Eigenmann knows that it would take time for Siargao to recover, she was relieved knowing that her friends and family on the island are safe. “[But] the island is completely devastated and it would take time before Siargao recovers. All the help would be very much appreciated. And thank you to everyone who [has] been working tirelessly to organize sending in relief goods, supplies, medical help and to all those who have donated,” she wrote.
