THE cat is out of the bag.

Kris Aquino has finally found the man she would “live the rest of her life with” as she divulged in her social media spaces.

After several failed relationships, Kris is happy to settle down with a man from Region 8.

The Waray guy is Mel Senen Sarmiento, a native of Calbayog City, who has been a seasoned politician since his rise to the local politics of Samar. He was a mayor (2004-2011) and vice-mayor (1992-1995) of Calbayog City. Then, he became a congressman of the 1st Legislative District of Samar from 2010 to 2015. He was a former Secretary of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and an erstwhile Secretary-General of the Liberal Party.

Kris and Mel have been familiar with each other as having navigated in the same socio-political sphere but not too deep in their interpersonal connections.

It was the late Philippine President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III who reconnected Kris and Mel.

In her Instagram messages, the actress as the youngest sister was thankful and at the same time obedient to the wishes of her older brother by taking and finding someone to take care of her.

According to Kris, before she announced the name and persona of her fiancé, they intently talked about the contents of her public confession, thus:

“We discussed this post and i thought about it carefully…marami kasi sa followers ko ang nagtatanong kung kamusta na ko because matagal na kong nawala… amin ako (many of my followers are asking how am I since my absence from social media…I admit) i’m only 95 pounds now. this pandemic and many stressful events that happened since mid August really caused my weight to drop & my health to suffer.
“And it’s been exactly four months since we so unexpectedly lost our brother. Sure ako, ayaw nya talagang iwanan si ‘bunso’ na walang magbabantay at magaalaga na siguradong pinagkakatiwalaan nya (I’m sure he didn’t want to leave ‘the youngest’ without someone to look after whom he trusted). Somehow i believe there was a matchmaker in heaven who must be smiling now- i can almost hear his voice telling me, ‘kristina, tama na (enough), respect the fact na gusto ni Mel ng tahimik na buhay (that he wants a quiet life).’
“And finally, ‘bunso’ has learned to obey. To my best friend and the man I said yes to spending the rest of my life with, thank you for as bimb said loving me for me, with no agenda, and for being just an overall good and patient man. It’s unreal how much more calm & peaceful I feel now that you’re here. We would never have met nor reconnected had it not been for Noy.
“Thank you to my kuya, kahit wala na sya ramdam na ramdam ko na kahit ilang beses kaming nagkatampuhan, kahit kailan gagawa talaga sya ng paraan na ma-assure kami nila kuya josh at bimb kung gaano nya kami kamahal at hindi talaga sya papayag na ma feel namin na kami ay mapapabayaan (Eve if he’s not around anymore and after a series of misunderstandings with him before, I could feel he would make ways to assure that he loves Josh and Bimb and he wouldn’t want us to feel we’re forsaken). We love you and we miss you.
“But THANK YOU, you must have known how broken I’d be to lose you, so you made sure there was someone who not only helped wipe away my tears, he’s made it possible for me to smile and laugh again. Dumating nung hindi ko hinahanap o inaasahan- kaya nga tama silang lahat na nagsabi (Everyone is saying that he came along without looking for him) in God’s perfect time.
“We agreed, what’s personal shall remain private so hanggang dito lang ang pwede kong ma (here’s the only things I can) share. Except I guess to say as much as I am proud to be an Aquino, looking forward na kong maging (to be a Sarmiento)."

We take a stand
