Jake Ejercito responds to Netizens' praises about being a good Dad to daughter Ellie

"I honestly don’t think I’m doing anything special. I’m just trying to be the best dad for my daughter." -Jake Ejercito

Celebrity dad Jake Ejercito reacts to netizens praising him for being a good dad to his daughter Ellie. Read all about it here.

In this article, you’ll read:

  • Jake Ejercito’s response to positive comments about him being a good dad
  • Sharing the credit with co-parent, Andi and other MVPs in her daughter’s life
  • Jake and Ellie’s recent escapade in Siargao and other fun activities they did together

“No other love in the world is like the love of a father has for his little girl.” – Unknown

There’s a certain bond among fathers and their daughters that cannot just be explained. A dad would always occupy a place in a girl’s heart, and a father would always have a soft spot for her daughter.

So for celebrity dad Jake Ejercito, everything he does is just his way of showing his love for his daughter, Ellie.

The netizens, however, have taken notice of this adorable father-daughter relationship and can’t help but admire Jake for being such an amazing dad.

In one of his recent posts on Facebook, Jake shared about the positive comments he’s been receiving about being a good father to Ellie. He said that while he is humbled and grateful for the kind remarks, he feels that like just any dad, he is just trying to be the best for his little girl.

“Been receiving lots of positive comments about me being a “good” dad to Ellie. Though I am truly humbled by and appreciate all the kind words, I honestly don’t think I’m doing anything special. I’m just trying to be the best dad for my daughter.”

It takes a village

The young dad also emphasized that he could not have done it without a lot of help from the people in his and Ellie’s life. He went on to acknowledge the guidance and support of his family, relatives, helpers and of course, Ellie’s mom, Andi Eigenmann with whom he shares custody.

“With that said, I’d also like to point out that I couldn’t have done it alone, especially at the beginning at such a young age and in a less than ideal situation.
“God knows how it would’ve turned out without the guidance and support extended to me/us by my parents, siblings, relatives, friends, and our kasambahays. And of course, Andi’s been a great co-parent too. They da real MVP’s!”
“The photos and videos you see are mostly just me and Ellie, but it does take a village to raise a child and boy do we have an awesome one.”

At the start of the pandemic, Ellie stayed with Jake and his family in Manila. When the travel ban relaxed, Ellie was able to go back to Siargao, where she and mom Andi resides with Andi’s fiancee, Philmar Alipayo and their kids Lilo and Koa.
In Jake Ejercito’s social media accounts, it’s evident that he is such fun-loving and doting dad to his daughter. He even coined a cute hashtag for their tandem – #JEllie.  He joins Ellie in her Tiktok videos, spends outdoors time with her, and even introduced her to Harry Potter books.
A few weeks ago, Jake shared on Facebook that it was his first visit to Siargao. He went there to fetch Ellie, who also became his “angel of a tour guide.” The smiles on their faces showed how happy they both were to be reunited.
Jake also celebrated his birthday last March 27, and while he doesn’t feel much like celebrating because of the ongoing medical crisis in the country, he’s just happy that he’s well and spending time with his loved ones. Of course, his birthday wouldn’t be complete without his princess by his side.

Jake and Ellie’s photos reveal that no matter what they’re doing, they really have a lot of fun when they’re together.
Jake may be young, but he has surely gained a lot of wisdom from being a hands-on dad to Ellie. His relationship with his daughter is inspiring and should serve as an example to other dads, young and old alike.
Finally, he shares his fulfillment in watching his daughter grow and being able to grow with her and share a friendship with her as well.

“To all young dads out there, there’s nothing more fulfilling and beautiful in the world than to grow with and be best buddies with your child,” he says.

We’re totally shipping #JEllie!
