Rochelle finds solution to boyfriend Arthur’s fear of flying

By MARY LOUISE LIGUNAS



Actress-dancer Rochelle Pangilinan found a travel buddy in her long-time boyfriend Arthur Solinap. It wasn’t easy, however, to get him to fly.

The Pepito Manaloto cast membera dmitted that he still has a fear of heights, even after many times of flying for holiday and for work.

Rochelle, who enjoys traveling, figured out exactly what to do to get her beau to join her.

“[Kapag] nagta-travel kami, palaging surprise kasi takot ako sa plane. So ang ginagawa niya, day itself, binibigay niya 'yung ticket para wala na akong choice,” Arthur shared.

This, among other things, attracts Arthur all the more to his girlfriend of almost six years. Over the years, he has seen her grow into a woman of strength and of determination.

Out of her many ideal qualities, however, two stand out the most for Arthur – her love for family and for God.

“[Gusto ko 'yung] pagiging family-oriented [niya]. Saka ngayon, sobrang close niya kay God. Bumalik ['yung faith niya] kasi nawalan siya ng tiwala dati nung namatay yung dad niya. Ngayon, sobrang [faithful] na niya, at sobrang proud ako sa kanya,” he said.

Rochelle has already achieved so much but still wants to do more. Arthur guarantees to be with her every step of the way, and continues to cheer her on in all her endeavors.

“[Sana] matupad pa 'yung pangarap niya sa family. Kasi nabigyan niya na [sila] ng bahay. 'Yung next niyang gusto is mabigyan niya ng kotse. Sana matupad niya lahat ng plans niya saka 'yung bagong farming business na pinasukan niya, sana lumaki pa,” he shared.
