On Christmas Eve, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian declared his love for his girlfriend, actress-beauty queen Bianca Manalo, and gifted her with a vow to always be by her side.
The lawmaker showed their framed photos hanging on a Christmas tree along with other ornaments, through his Instagram page on Sunday, Dec. 24.
“Merry Christmas to everyone! To [Bianca Manalo], my 2023 Christmas gift to you—I will always be by your side,” he wrote, addressing the actress who is currently in Japan with her family.

Manalo, who has been embroiled in a controversy after her conversations with actor Rob Gomez were leaked, then shared Gatchalian’s post via her Instagram Stories.

Prior to this, Gatchalian had already addressed the issues hounding his girlfriend and declared that “no fake news will divide [them].”
Manalo and Gomez worked together in the GMA TV series “Magandang Dilag.” In the leaked conversation screenshots, Manalo was apparently asking Gomez to meet with her.
But Manalo, in debunking speculations of cheating, explained that she was going to meet with Gomez to receive the actor’s Christmas gift to her. She also asserted that parts of their conversation were deleted “to create malicious insinuations.”
Days after the leaked conversation, Manalo intrigued fans after she shared a quote about “scared” enemies attacking her spirit.
Meanwhile, also included in Gomez’s alleged leaked conversations was those with actress-beauty queen Herlene Budol. The pair’s exchange include remarks implying a sexual relationship. Budol has since spoken against the “made-up issues” about her.
