In Nelson Canlas’ report on “24 Oras,” Tuesday, Gabby Eigenmann said that they are still waiting for relatives coming from other countries before they can put Jaclyn to her final resting place.

Gabby is the half-brother of Andi Eigenmann, Jaclyn’s daughter with the late actor Mark Gil. He is Mark’s son with Irene Celebre.

“Nagpapasalamat kami sa suporta, sa patuloy na suporta ng lahat ng mga nagmamahal, not just kay Andi, but of course, siyempre kay Tita Jane. Sa lahat ng sumusuporta sa kaniya, sa lahat, nagpapasalamat kami. And I’m just here to support my sister,” Gabby said.

“Since na-cremate na siya yesterday, we’re just waiting for the other siblings of Tita Jane tapos ‘yung isa niyang anak, si Gwen, hinihintay lang namin. Then from there, we can decide on when to ano na, pero may mga schedule na kami na so far hanggang, mga nailalatag pa lang is until Friday or Saturday,” he said.

Among Jaclyn’s fellow celebrities who arrived on the second night of her wake were Iza Calzado, Cong. Lani Mercado, and Jake Ejercito, who is the father of Andi’s daughter, Ellie.
