Kris Aquino to fiance Mel Sarmiento: ‘Ang tanga ko na para pakawalan pa kita’

Shortly after announcing their engagement, Kris Aquino expressed how sure she is of her fiancé, former Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Sec. Mel Sarmiento.

In an Instagram video uploaded Wednesday, Kris told Mel that she really felt how sincere he was which made her realize he was deserving.

“For the longest time, [Josh] has chosen to be independent and it really mattered to me [that] the man I would end up with, will also really love Bimb because for so long, it’s just the two of us,” she said.

“The fact [that] you showed, with no hesitation, that you’re ready to step in and that you try your best to make me happy, I really feel how much you love me,” she added.

“That’s why parang ang tanga ko na ‘pag pakawalan pa kita [That’s why I would seem stupid if I let you go]," she concluded.

Meanwhile, Mel said, he knew Kris was the one when people close to him noticed how happy he is now.

“I’m so happy and [everyone noticed],” he stated. “I used to do a lot of things but now, because of how I feel for her, I learned to balance my time.”

“Nung araw, work. Ngayon, na-realize kong okay naman mag-trabaho pero masarap pala [na] happy ka dahil in love na, in love ka,” he added.

(“Before, just work. Now, I realized that it’s okay to work but it’s also good to be happy because you’re so in love.”)

The couple then said their promises to each other, vowing that they’ll stay together until the end.

“Aalagaan kita at kasama mo ‘ko sa buong buhay natin [I’ll take care of you and I’ll stay for a lifetime],” Mel said.

“When I wrote him, I said, ‘Whatever’s left for my life, you have me,” Kris added. “I have never felt this peaceful and that’s thanks to you.”

According to Kris, they won’t be publicizing details of their wedding, but will share footage after.

Kris revealed the identity of her mystery man in August, when he left a comment on one of her posts.
