Amid loud cheers and applause, Sen. Manuel Roxas II and ABS-CBN news anchor Korina Sanchez confirmed their engagement yesterday in the popular noontime television show “Wowowee†but the actual wedding date remained under wraps.
The festive mood was punctuated a few times when the senator shed tears while he and Sanchez were being interviewed by host Willie Revillame.
It was the first time for the couple, who have been together for five years, to talk about their wedding plans, confirming an earlier report by STAR Entertainment Editor Ricky Lo.
In a telephone interview with The STAR after the show, Roxas said he actually proposed last Feb. 14 in a resort in Cebu while he and Sanchez were on vacation.
He said he shed “tears of joy†as he recalled how happy he was when Sanchez said yes when he asked her to spend the rest of her life with him.
Roxas said the announcement was unplanned but then he had no choice because the “ring†on Sanchez’s finger bared it all and that Revillame already put him on the spot.
“Nandun na kasi. Napaluha lang ako sa tuwa. Pero nagulat din ako, na-shock,†Roxas said.
Roxas disclosed he asked permission from Sanchez if he could reveal specific details of his proposal and got the green light.
