After attending Traslacion 2024 with her boyfriend Stephan Estopia, Kiray Celis expressed gratitude to the Black Nazarene for giving her somebody who shares her faith.
Traslacion is a grand procession that commemorates the transfer of the image of the Black Nazarene from the Quirino Grandstand in Luneta to its home in Quiapo church.
On Instagram, Celis shared photos of Estopia and herself wearing identical hooded shirts with an image of the Black Nazarene in front.
“‘Find someone who is willing to learn, hustle, pray, and grow with you.’ At nahanap ko na nga! Kapag parehas talaga kayong nangangarap, sabay na nagdadasal at parehas na nagtutulungan, walang imposible! Viva, Poong Jesus Nazareno!” Celis captioned her post.

The traslacion returned this year after a three-year hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic. At its peak, the procession drew 6.1 million devotees from all over the country, ending some 15 hours after a six-kilometer journey, which is the fastest march in the feast’s history.

Trust not an issue
Four years into the relationship, Celis and Estopia often take to social media to share the activities they enjoy doing together, such as hiking, as they profess their appreciation for one another.
In one of her Instagram posts in the past, the “Goin’ Bulilit’ star opened up about how grateful she is to have a partner who does not give her anything to worry about but motivates her for the better instead.
“Ang sarap magmahal kapag hindi ka (stressed) sa partner mo. ‘Yung hindi siya dagdag sa alalahanin mo. Yung hindi na kailangan bantayan dahil alam niya yung tama at mali. ‘Yung kahit pagod ka na, mino-motivate ka niya magpatuloy,” she said.
The actress also shared that she and her boyfriend are focused on being better individuals for one another, which makes it easy for them to stay happy in the relationship.
“Ang sarap mag-stay sa relationship na hindi issue ang tiwala at hindi nauubos ang oras sa pagtatalo. Naka-focus lang kayo sa progress at success ng buhay niyong dalawa na magkasama,” she added.
