The heartwarming moment between Ongpauco and Escudero was captured by one @ilove_lovemariee on Instagram on Sunday, Feb. 18, where the former had her arm slung around the politician’s neck.

“So happy for her. And I’m happier because I am around to witness this. Finally, I arrived. Nine years too late, but made it still,” she said in a highlights clip of their vow renewal.

Evangelista’s relationship with her parents went through a highly publicized spat, particularly when it came to her relationship with Escudero, with Ongpauco calling the senator a “manipulative opportunist” in 2013.

The couple and her parents eventually reconciled months after their Balesin wedding. In 2021, Cecilia thanked Escudero for allowing her daughter to “grow.”

Evangelista and Escudero’s renewal of vows was also a special moment for the couple as it reaffirmed their commitment to one another on their 9th wedding anniversary. The couple went through a rough patch in 2022 but repaired their relationship before the year ended.
