"Kaming dalawa, yung the way that we think, sobrang chill lang namin na mga tao.
"And we live each moment by the day. Parang go with the flow,"
But as of the moment Andi focuses herself on fulfilling her dreams.
“Pero alam namin siyempre, napag-uusapan namin na lahat ng mga bagay kasi, na gusto naming gawin para sa sarili namin, alam namin na marami pa kaming gustong makamit sa buhay for ourselves.
"But all of those can be achieved kahit magkasama kaming dalawa.
“And it’s even better because we have each other by our side, to support each other na maabot yung mga pangarap namin para sa sarili namin.
“Tapos, yung pangarap namin para sa aming dalawa, darating na din yun.
“Alam din namin na when the time is right, darating din siya.” Is it true that her mom Jaclyn Jose approves of Emilio?
"Yung mom ko tsaka si Emilio, mas nag-uusap pa sila kesa sa akin!”
“My mom tells me that the reason why she likes Emilio, kasi maganda siyang impluwensiya sa akin daw.
“Kasi, for one, lagi akong nakangiti.
“Second, yung mga taong part ng buhay ko, never pa ata kaming nakitang mag-away.
“We are at peace, we live a peaceful and genuinely happy life. Masaya kami.
"I guess we are good for each other.
“Yung nanay ko, lagi niyang sinasabi, ‘Ang dali-dali ko namang i-please.’
"Di naman mataas ang kanyang standard. ‘Ang kailangan lang, maging mabuti ka para sa anak ko.’
“So, I guess my mom just really feels na he takes care of me.
“And that’s what my mom says, ‘I love you, Emilio, because you take care of my daughter and you take care of my granddaughter.”
Andi has a five-year old daughter with Jake Ejercito.

Sunshine Dizon confesses that there are negative comments about her soap titled “Ika-6 Na Utos” because of its confrontation scenes the reason why she turned off the comment section of her Instagram account.
“Actually, to be honest, I turned off na yung mga comments ng IG ko kasi medyo nakakastress din yung iba na bashers.
“Pero feeling ko troll lang, kasi walang number of following, so I don’t know kung sinong nag-a-aksaya ng panahon!”
However, she doesn’t let these comments affect her performance on the show, especially since the drama series is enjoying sky-high ratings for an afternoon teleserye.
She remarked, “Sabi ko nga, our ratings will speak for itself.
“We just want to thank din yung talagang totoong viewers namin, avid viewers.
“At saka I guess, in this business, good comments, bad comments, at the end of the day, it’s still a comment. Mas delikado kung walang nagko-comment.
“So kumbaga pinaguusapan pa rin and we just want to thank the public, yung reception nila, patuloy pa rin yung suporta. Hindi pa rin sila nagsasawa sa amin.”
Now tagged as the No. 1 Daytime Drama, even surpassing the ratings of Eat Bulaga and It’s Showtime, Sunshine revealed that Ika-6 Na Utos was supposed to run for only six weeks.
Its pilot episode aired on December 5, 2016 and they are currently on their sixth month of airing.
Sunshine shared, “Actually, to be honest, I didn’t expect it to be this big kasi when we did the show, it was supposed to run only for six weeks.
And then it got extended.
“Parang dark horse, parang, ‘Sige let’s do this show, let’s see how it works.’
“Sabi ko nga sa producer namin, hayaan mo na, let’s just do it the way we did it from the very start.
“If it gets extended, well then good. If it ends, it ends. Pero let’s give our hundred percent pa rin from day one until today. That’s what we’re doing.”
While they are happy with the high ratings, the 33-year-old actress said that they don’t pressure themselves from getting a huge reception.
“We rejoice our small victories, we get high ratings, pero chill lang kami dito.
“Wala naman ditong pressure na, ‘Uy, kailangan parati tayong mataas.’
“Chill pa rin kami. Parang mas okay yun in a way na pag mataas ang rating, kalmado pa rin kami.”
Ika-6 Na Utos became known for its viral confrontation scenes between the characters of Sunshine and her co-star Ryza Cenon.
Sunshine also attributes the show’s success to its creative team headed by Dode Cruz and RJ Nuevas, whom the actress has worked with in her past projects.
It is known to many that Sunshine’s first drama series was aired in the afternoon, the weekly series Anna Karenina which ran for six years (1996 to 2002).
She recalled, “To be honest, I started most of my shows in the afternoon, that’s why sabi ko nga hindi na ko nagugulat.
“Kumbaga I really have that following in the afternoon kasi nagsimula ako sa hapon.
“So more or less, nagegets ko na pag yun ang sinusulat nila kuya RJ or Kuya Dode kasi gets ko na kailangan, malaki ito.”
For this reason, she has also understood that big fight scenes are necessary since it is an afternoon series where emotions should be heightened to keep the audience awake.
She added, “At saka you have to remember, ang oras natin is pwedeng natutulog si Manang, so kailangan parating malaki.
“And ito din yung oras na nagpaplantsa si ate, naghuhugas ng plato, so talagang kailangan malaki para kahit hindi nila mapanuod, naririnig nila.
“I think that’s a secret to a good drama or it’s the height and emotions na ‘Teka lang, I will stop everything for this.’”
Aside from Ryza, Sunshine’s co-stars in Ika-6 Na Utos are Gabby Concepcion, Mike Tan, Rich Asuncion, Odette Khan, and Daria Ramirez.
Sunshine’s former onscreen rival Angelika dela Cruz also joins this new show as a new villain.
