“I don’t really ask Ellie about it [how she feels about the setup]. Parang na o-observe ko lang sa kanya. Kasi siyempre Andi and I, yung relationship naman namin when it comes to co-parenting, hindi naman naging smooth lagi and hindi naman siya smooth ever since,” he said.

“Marami kaming pinagdaanan na phases. Siyempre before, immature pa kami and everything. So medyo malayo din yung nilakbay bago naging ganito ka-settled and smooth.”

“I went there just to pick her up, para sunduin siya, kasi nga considering si Andi may bagong baby. She has Lilo also. Mahihirapan siya kung siya pa ang magdadala dito kay Ellie. So nakiusap sa akin si Andi, kung puwede ko sunduin si Ellie and that’s what I did,” he said.

When asked what part of Ellie’s personality did she get from him or Eigenmann, Ejercito said: “We’re both very, very shy, kami ni Ellie. I guess si Andi rin naman, medyo mahiyain rin si Andi. Si Ellie isn’t that expressive. Pero once in a while, out of nowhere, mag ‘I love you, Dad’, mag ‘Thank you, Dad.’ Yun na yun for her, and more than enough na yun for me when I hear those words from her.”
