Arra San Agustin has always been selective when it comes to matters of the heart, and according to Chariz Solomon, her suitors back in the day were nothing short of wealthy.

During a guesting of Arra and Mikoy Morales on Your Honor, they were asked whether they had ever dated someone who was already in a relationship or married.

“Feeling ko naman meron, oo. Pero nakalimutan ko na siya eh. Hindi ko naman binigyan ng atensiyon,” Arra admitted, reflecting on past encounters.

Chariz, on the other hand, shared more about Arra's love life during their single years. She revealed that aside from the people she specifically had her eye on, her suitors were all “big time.”

“Alam mo, ang hirap niyang alayan [si Arra]. Noong single siya may mga inaalay ako sa kaniya. 'Tsaka 'yung mga nanliligaw sa kaniya, mga big time,” Chariz said, describing the challenges of courting the actress.

Jokingly, the Your Honor host remarked that Arra could practically stop working if she ended up with one of her wealthy suitors.

“'Huwag ka nang tumayo sa kama na 'yan. Ang yaman-yaman mo na,'” she teased Arra at the time.

Chariz also recalled Arra's tactful way of turning down advances.

“Pero talagang, o elbow [tinatanggihan], ang galing. Sabi ko, 'Sana sa akin na lang nanligaw, hindi ko e-elbow-in.'”

Arra explained her approach to romance, emphasizing that she values connection above all else.

“'Pag hindi ko kasi talaga trip, 'di ko trip, e. Hinahanap ko 'yung connection, 'yun talaga. Kahit guwapo ka pa o kahit sobrang yaman mo pa, 'pag hindi ko naramdaman sa 'yo 'yung gusto kong maramdaman, goodbye,” she shared.

She further stressed, "Wala talaga, kahit anong pilit ko, kahit anong pilit mo, hindi ko talaga kaya."

Turning to her boyfriend, Arra playfully addressed him during the segment:

“Alam mo na, Juami, nakikinig ka ba?” Wow!” she joked, referring to her partner Juami Tiongson, the PBA player she has been dating since last year.

In a previous interview on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, Arra revealed that Juami has become her standard when it comes to men.
