Andi Eigenmann, who plays the twin characters Agua and Bendita in the Kapamilya fantasy-drama series, said she finds her roles so challenging that she sometimes asks herself why she accepted them.
“It’s my first acting job, gano’n na agad kahirap ang naibigay sa akin. Kakayanin ko ba? But then it also makes me think that, maybe, the roles were given to me because my bosses believe in me,” she told Inquirer Entertainment at the recent launch of The Ramp Crossings, which she endorses.
“I also know that my parents will be with me every step of the way,” said the daughter of award-winning actors Mark Gil and Jaclyn Jose.
Andi plays the twin sisters—Bendita, who is normal, and Agua, who has a physical defect.
The sisters become bitter rivals until a twist of fate reverses their situations.
“At first, I thought playing Bendita would be more challenging,” said Andi. “I didn’t see myself as a kontrabida. But when we started taping, the production team said I was good as Bendita. Mas madali kasi maging mataray.”
Andi recently signed up a three-picture deal with Regal Films. She will start working on her first film, “Madir,” where she plays Eugene Domingo’s rebellious daughter.
She will also join the cast of the remake of “Temptation Island,” and the horror trilogy “Shake, Rattle and Roll 12.”
Born Andrea Eigenmann, Andi, 17, is Mark’s fourth child to join show biz. Her half-siblings Gabby, Maxine and Timothy (who goes by the screen name Sid Lucero) have appeared in TV shows or movies in the past years.
She hopes to work with her Kuya Sid someday. “That would be an even greater challenge for me. Kuya Sid is a really good actor, kapatid ko pa siya,” she stressed
