Celebrity couple Rhian Ramos and Sam Verzosa shared that wedding plans are on hold for now as the latter aims to put his focus on the upcoming midterm elections as he vies for the seat of Manila mayor.

In an interview with broadcast journalist Julius Babao for his vlog, the pair was asked if wedding discussions are already on the horizon given that they have been already dating for four years.

“Proposal muna (Proposal first),” Ramos responded laughingly. “Wala pang [proposal] (There is no proposal yet). May nakikita ba kayo (Do you guys see anything)?” she said as she showed her hands before the camera.

Verzosa emphasized that if the proposal happens, it will be kept under wraps, although right now his eyes are set on the elections.

“Syempre secret muna ‘yon. Susurprise natin. ‘Wag natin sasabihin. Kailangan mabibigla na lang siya. Pero definitely tapusin ko muna elections,” he said.

(Of course, it’s a secret for now. We’ll surprise her. We won’t tell her. She needs to be surprised. But definitely I’ll finish the elections first.)

The businessman underscored that he’s not one to use wedding or proposal announcements to gain publicity.

“I will not use the proposal just to gain publicity during the campaign period. I’m not that person. Sabi ko nga, kung gagawin ko ‘yon, ipapakita ko sa kaniya na hindi ko siya gagamitin in any way. So kailangan tapos na lahat ‘yon [elections]. Ipo-prove ko na gagawin ko ‘yon [proposal] kahit may election o wala,” he explained. 

(Like I said, I will show her that I will not use her in any way. So all that needs to be done first. I will prove that I will do that whether there is an election or not.)

When asked if she is expecting a grand proposal, Ramos got candid by saying that she is because she knows how “extra” her boyfriend can be.

“Here’s the thing: I don’t need one but I expect it because I know him. I don’t know. He’s a big theatrical person. He’s a [showman]. Usually kapag siya ‘yung nag-aasikaso ng isang bagay, mas nagiging engrande siya doon sa naisip ko (when he’s the one taking care of something, he becomes more grandiose than I),” she stated.
