Andi Eigenmann & Philmar Alipayo Celebrate as Daughter Lilo Wins Surfing Title in Palawan
ANDI EIGENMANN – Cheers and proud smiles filled the air as Andi Eigenmann and Philmar watched their daughter take home a well-deserved win.
Another proud parent moment has arrived for Andi Eigenmann and Philmar Alipayo, after their daughter, Lilo, made waves in a recent surfing competition in Palawan.
The couple’s six-year-old daughter emerged victorious in her category at the San Vic Surf Fest, proving that her surfing skills go far beyond social media posts. The young surfer was declared champion during the event, as seen in a video shared by the organizers on their Instagram page last Thursday, February 5.
The awarding ceremony captured a heartwarming family celebration, with their entire surf community cheering in full support. In the video, Philmar can be seen carrying Lilo on his shoulders, clearly proud of his daughter’s achievement. Meanwhile, Andi stood beside them with their youngest child, Koa, holding the surfboard of their little champion.
“Our 2026 Girls Push-In winner has been crowned! Huge congratulations to our GROM REVIVAL 2026 Girls Push-In Champion, Lilo!” organizers captioned.
Aside from taking home a trophy, Lilo also received a cash prize for her impressive performance in the competition.
Not to be outdone, her younger brother Koa also joined the same surfing contest. He secured third place in the Grom Revival 2026: Boys Push-In category, adding another reason for celebration within the family.
Lilo’s victory may come as no surprise to those who have followed her surfing journey. At just three years old, she had already learned to surf under the guidance of her father, a well-known surfer himself. Growing up surrounded by waves and a tight-knit surf community has clearly shaped her confidence and skills in the water.
In October last year, Lilo also competed in her first national competition in Siargao, where their family is currently based. With such milestones at a young age, it is evident that surfing has become more than just a hobby for Lilo; it is a passion nurtured by both talent and family support.
