Grabe, love is really in the air! Ang mga heartwarming moments ay hindi lang sa mga teleserye, kundi pati na rin sa buhay ni Jose Manalo at Gene Maranan! 💕 The two are officially engaged after an unforgettable proposal on December 2.
In an Instagram post, Gene shared the sweet details of the proposal. It happened at a beautiful resort, and Jose serenaded her with “Ikaw” by Yeng Constantino. Picture this: Jose, holding a guitar and accompanied by a saxophonist, singing his heart out to his soon-to-be wife.
Then, as if that wasn’t enough, they moved to a pool area that was decorated with romantic flowers and hearts. Imagine the scene – a neon sign lit up with the words “Will you marry me?” Gene couldn’t believe her eyes and asked, “Ano ‘yan? Totoo ba ‘yan?”—touched and clearly in shock.

But wait, there’s more! Jose knelt down on one knee and popped the big question: “Will you marry me?” Of course, Gene said YES! without a second thought! 💍 They sealed it with a kiss and a tight hug, making the moment extra special.
On her post, Gene couldn’t help but express how easy it was to say yes to Jose: “The easiest YES I’ve ever said.” And sweetly added, “It’s you. It’s always been you.”
The love story of Jose and Gene shows us that true love always finds a way, no matter what life throws at you. ✨
For those who don’t know, Jose was previously married to Anna Lyn Santos, who sadly passed away in 2022. He and Anna Lyn have four wonderful children: Benj, Myki, Ai, and Nicco.
So happy for this amazing couple! Wishing them all the best as they begin this new chapter together.
