“To make it short and sweet, you've always been the girl with a golden heart and the face of Mama Mary (pasalamat ka talaga kaibigan kita or sinugatan kita), but I've never seen you more golden and more beautiful than you are today. I love you. And I'm very happy for you (lagyan mo ng helmet yan. At wag mong translate yung sinabi ko).
