The international gathering in Singapore brings together students from around the world to simulate the work of the United Nations, with young delegates stepping into the shoes of diplomats and debating real global issues.
For 14-year-old Ellie, the experience marks another feather in her cap as she begins charting her own course academically.

What the Yale Model UN Singapore conference is about
The Yale Model United Nations Singapore (YMUN Singapore) conference is widely regarded as one of the largest Model UN gatherings in Asia.
Organized by the Yale International Relations Association, the event brings together high school students who act as delegates representing different countries.
Participants research international issues and work together to draft resolutions addressing topics such as climate change, economic policy, global security, and human rights.
The conference mirrors the structure of the real United Nations, giving students a chance to sharpen their research, negotiation, and public speaking skills.
Different paths for the Eigenmann-Alipayo household
While Ellie was attending the conference in Singapore, Andi also shared an update about her younger children.
In another Instagram Story, she posted a photo of Lilo and Koa, her children with fiancé Philmar Alipayo.
The siblings were seen outdoors beside surfboards, surrounded by lush greenery near the coast: “Meanwhile, Lilo & Koa are still in their own season of becoming.”
