"In 2005, we met through the after-school tutorial service of Ate Amy Coroza. We were never classmates, but we shared fond memories together during our tutor sessions. Facebook kept us connected. Our path crossed again in 2016, when I greeted Jem "Merry Christmas! "We reconnected and bonded together with our common friends during the holiday season. Jem used to work in UP Manila and I was coincidentally stationed in Taft for my pre-boarding training. We were each other's constants at that time; we jogged together in Roxas Blvd, ate our meals along Vito Cruz, and became each other's human form of diary. I know she was just my friend, but I was privileged to taste her own version of "Adobo." Grabe, parang nagayuma ako. Napasabi ako sa sarili ko na eto na yung babaeng hinahanap ko. After Jem’s training in Korea, I pursued her. On June 12, 2017, she said yes."
"I used to work in the maritime industry, so we both had a long-distance relationship that worked for almost four years. When I decided to focus on business in 2020, we were once again challenged by LDR because of the pandemic. But God made His timing perfect. He made us grow and focus on our calling before he called us to marriage. On February 17, 2023, on top of Mt. Pico de Loro, she made me the happiest guy as she said yes to our forever.
We are forever grateful to God for His unending love for us. We are both so excited for this next chapter, and we can't wait to celebrate with you! "
