Cop re-promises forever to Duterte’s aide-de-camp

While President Rodrigo Duterte has been lashing out at critics here and abroad, a cop had been mustering up the courage to re-promise forever to the commander-in-chief’s aide-de-camp.

Police Senior Insp. Arvin Jumillo proposed once again to his girlfriend of five years, Police Senior Insp. Romea Alnieza Kinang, who happened to be trailing the President.

“My beloved President sir, humihiling po ako ng tatlong minute lang po sa ngalan ng pag-ibig, sir. I would like to take this, I would like to grab this very rare opportunity and perfect timing, sir. Lingid sa kaalaman ng nakararami, sir, iyong aide-de-camp n’yo, sir, si Police Senior Inspector Alnieza Kinang, sir, is my girlfriend for five years and 10 months already,” Jumillo began his speech.

He shared their love story, which could have been a plot straight out of a movie. The couple was supposed to get married this month but it was cancelled because they fought and broke up.

“Ganoon pa man, sir, I’m thankful na talagang everything happens for a reason. Have it been happen na kinasal tayo, hindi mangyayari ito na makapag-propose ako sa’yo before the President of the Republic and viewing public throughout the world,” he explained as his senior officials cheered him on.

He then addressed Kinang.

"Romea Alnieza Kinang, when you left me, I realized na for the past five years and 10 months na we've been together, na-realize ko na marami akong pagkukulang as your boyfriend. But don’t you worry, pakasalan mo lang ako, I still have forever para bumawi as your husband," Jumillo vowed before he got down on one knee.

Everyone cheered. Yes, even the usually stoic presidential assistant Secretary Bong Go looked happy for the newly-engaged couple.
