MANILA — Actress and TV Host, Kris Aquino, reveals how Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista popped\u00a0\u201cthe least romantic proposal a woman has ever received.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a post on her blog titled “The \u00a0State of My Heart,” Aquino described how her relationship with Bautista almost ended up in marriage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time I\u2019ll publicly acknowledge this, because I can now recall with absolutely no bitterness or regrets; on the first Friday of April nearly a year ago during\u00a0merienda<\/i>, he said he was tired, he didn\u2019t want to play games, he was tired of chasing and of running away, and he wanted to feel secure with someone he could grow old with. He said, walang romance, walang lokohan, walang bolahan. Okay na raw ba ko to <\/i>marry him kasi nga PAGOD na sya?\u201d<\/i>Aquino said.<\/p>\n

Aquino accepted the proposal adding that she is willing to grow old with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember laughing and saying that was probably the least romantic proposal any woman has ever received, but because we were so similar in our weirdness, I was in agreement; I wanted to grow old with him because I knew we\u2019d never be bored conversing, and maybe this was where God led 2 individuals who deserved a chance at life long companionship with maturity, and full acceptance of equally colorful pasts,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Aquino also revealed how \u00a0their love affair ended with a phone call after she confirmed the status of their relationship ton her late night show \u201d Aquino and Abunda Tonight\u201d (A&A).<\/p>\n

\u201cI made the mistake of speaking about him the following night on A&A. The next day, over the phone he broke up with me, right before Bimb\u2019s 7th birthday party,\u201d the actress revealed.<\/p>\n

After the breakup, Aquino said she was proud that she has survived the breakup by traveling to places and avoiding those that remind her of Bautista.<\/p>\n

She added that she is now looking at the failed romance with the Mayor as a blessing.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then, maybe Mom raised me to stand alone, and own my strength. And maybe the rejection I went through is a blessing, because I needed to feel the hurt, in order to learn to be less selfish and more compassionate, to empathize more readily with those suffering from all kinds of pain,\u201d Aquino added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
