Andi Eigenmann Appeals to Visitors to Protect Siargao’s Beauty Through Proper Waste Disposal
ANDI EIGENMANN – Former actress Andi Eigenmann has once again used her platform to promote environmental responsibility, this time reminding tourists in Siargao to dispose of their waste properly.
Andi Eigenmann, a Filipina former actress turned entrepreneur, recently made a heartfelt appeal to her customers and visitors of Siargao, emphasizing the importance of responsible waste disposal.
The reminder came after she reposted a photo story from the Instagram account @lagumlifestyle. The post showed several cups from her business, Happy Islanders Surf Club, left as litter on the island. The caption on the photo read: “We found tourist/cool people’s trash.”
In response, Andi shared a strong yet respectful message to her customers and the public. “COMPOSTABLE DOESN’T MEAN INVISIBLE! Please to our customers, and everyone else, please learn to dispose of your trash properly. THIS ISLAND IS HOME TO MANY. Please treat it with the same respect we give you!” she wrote in her viral post.
Happy Islanders Surf Club, which Andi co-owns with her fiancé and professional surfer Philmar Alipayo, is a well-loved spot in Siargao that combines a café and a surf shop. Since its launch, the business has become a hub for both locals and tourists who want to enjoy good food, coffee, and surf culture. In 2024, the establishment celebrated its first anniversary, earning warm support from the community.
Andi, who has embraced a simpler island lifestyle after leaving showbiz, has consistently advocated for eco-friendly practices and sustainable living. Her latest reminder underscores the continuing challenge of keeping tourist destinations clean despite the rise of eco-conscious businesses.
Her call to action resonated with many online, sparking conversations on social media about the responsibility of visitors when traveling to natural destinations like Siargao. As the island remains a top choice for surfers, backpackers, and eco-travelers, Andi’s message serves as a timely wake-up call.
Ultimately, her appeal is not only about protecting her business but also about safeguarding the community and environment that make Siargao special. Through her words, Andi once again highlighted that preserving the island’s beauty requires collective effort and respect from everyone who sets foot on it.
