Manto and Guison announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post on Sunday, Dec. 29, featuring a clip of the pair posing in different outfits until it ended with the beauty queen showing off her emerald-cut engagement ring.
“My fave fit check ever,” she captioned her post.

The beauty queen also shared a closer look at her “proposal look” in a separate post, where she donned an oversized leather jacket, dark brown scarf, and baggy jeans.
“That’s why David commented ‘iconic look’ [because] this was taken a few minutes before the proposal. And she unknowingly insisted on an OOTD (outfit of the day) while kabado si Kuya (he was nervous),” she wrote.
