True love.

Former beauty queen-turned-actress Bianca Manalo shared a post of her boyfriend, Senator Sherwin "Win" Gatchalian, who seemed to profess his love for her on social media.

"What a beautiful Christmas gift from @tootsyangara and @sonnyangara. @biancamanalo and I share the same values and principles in life. No fake news will divide us apart," wrote Sen. Win on Instagram on Dec. 23.

Netizens were thrilled at the senator who they said was very understanding and a good man. Some comments:

"O!Hilom na mga bashers.Happy happy dapat!if they're going through rough patch,check your lives first if perfect ba.Sad Filipino culture."

"Napakabait ni Sen Win talaga, nerbyos ako Sen kala ko po papaapekto ka sa mga basher na perpekto ang buhay love u Sen and Ms Bianca."

 

 

"Ohh yung mga haters dyan, tantanan niyo na pakiusap. Masyado kayong mga entitled sa opinions niyo, mga wala namang alam. Finish na! Nagsalita na! Malungkot na Pasko ng mga chismoso/chismosa."

"Oh mga pkialamirang palaka..manahinik na kau dahil Wala nmn kaung ambag sa buhay nila."

"Senator baka may kakambal ka po, mine na po agad"

For the past few days, Bianca and her co-stars Rob Gomez and Herlene Nicole Budol from the popular afternoon series "Magandang Dilag" have become trending topics on social media due to leaked private conversations.

Bianca, Rob, and Herlene slammed the malicious propaganda to discredit their names and images.

 

 

On Dec. 22, Bianca Manalo took to Instagram to clear her name on the issue of leaked messages involving the hunk actor.

On Instagram, Bianca said she and fellow actor Rob were only friends. She admitted to being upset that their conversation was exposed without her consent, adding that the controversy hurt her loved ones.

Bianca is in a relationship with Senator Sherwin Gatchalian. They have been together since 2018. On Nov. 18, they celebrated their fourth anniversary as a couple.

On Nov. 28, Bianca celebrated her 37th birthday in Malacanang with her partner, Sen. Sherwin, President Bongbong Marcos Jr., and First Lady Liza Marcos.

Bianca is currently on vacation with her family in Japan.

Bianca, 36, is a former Binibini who represented the Philippines at the 2009 Miss Universe beauty pageant in The Bahamas. She was unplaced. Her sister Katherine Manalo was top 10 finalist at the 2002 Miss World pageant. They are the nieces of Miss International 1968 top 15 semi-finalist Nini Ramos.
