Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez (FILE PHOTO)
The live show of the noontime game show “Wowowee” last Saturday, April 25, 2009 was a bit unusual for broadcast journalist Korina Sanchez was in the show as a guest co-host. Having guest co-hosts is normal for the show during Saturdays, but the show last Saturday is really different.
Evening of Friday, April 24, 2009, I started receiving reports from friends that something “big” would happen in the show and an “announcement” would also be made. Come Saturday, I turned on my TV and saw Korina Sanchez and Mar Roxas in the show talking about their wedding proposal and upcoming wedding and so the supposed to be game show suddenly turned into an afternoon talk show (What’s with the blue balloons on the set?).
The senator, in his usual blue polo shirt shared how he proposed to the broadcast journalist: “Ang setting ay nasa resort kami, at gabi. Nadidinig ‘yung hampas ng alon, at siyempre magkatabi kami. Kami lang at nagho-holding hands. Sinabi ko naman sa kanya na, ‘tayo na nga talaga ito kaya I want to formally ask for your hand in the church.’ ‘Yun lang ang naaalala ko naiiyak ako sa tuwa, eh.”
The senator did cry a little during the “interview” and Korina would wipe the senator’s tears. How sweet!
So, when asked for his message to her wife-to-be the senator said: “Matagal na rin tayong nagsasama at alam mo naman how I feel about you at gusto kong malaman mo na buong-buo nang loob ko. Walang kahit anong tanong sa puso ko at sa isip ko na tayo na nga habambuhay.”
So when will the wedding bells ring? Your guess is as good as mine. But, congratulations to Korina Sanchez and Mar Roxas.
