Andi later clarified that she does not believe her husband, Philmar Alipayo, was unfaithful. She addressed concerns about the woman with the matching tattoo, explaining that while Philmar never had an affair, this person repeatedly urged him to leave their marriage whenever they had arguments.
According to Andi, she and Philmar had a recent fight, after which this woman suggested they get matching tattoos. Andi found the timing suspicious, wondering why the idea was brought up when Philmar was emotionally vulnerable rather than when their relationship was stable. Andi tried to reach out to the woman for clarification but was ignored.
