Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez

Below are the pictures of Senator Mar Roxas and his fiancé Korina Sanchez during the Wowowee Olympics and during the "pamamanhikan" of Roxas in Sanchez' residence.

WHERE'S THE POPCORN, HONEY? -- Senator Mar Roxas and wife-to-be broadcaster Korina Sanchez are all eyes on the court in Araneta Coliseum during the Wowowee Olympics as Roxas picks from a popcorn bag held by his girlfriend. Roxas will formally ask for Sanchez' hands from her family today (Sunday) in a traditional "pamanhikan" at the latter's home in Parañaque. The "pamanhikan" will get the Araneta-Roxas and Sanchez clans together to celebrate the coming wedding between the LP presidential candidate and the ABS-CBN news anchor.

YOU'RE THE FIRST LADY OF MY HEART! -- Senator Mar Roxas serenades girlfriend Korina Sanchez with the song "Gaano ko Ikaw Kamahal" in a traditional Filipino pre-wedding pamanhikan on the famous broadcaster's family in Merville, Paranaque., with famous entertainers Tado and Jason Gainza. Roxas formally asked for permission from Sanchez' family to marry his longtime beau, who took an indefinite leave from ABS-CBN recently after Roxas announced his engagement with Korina.

Senator Roxas and Korina Sanchez vows help to Fernandez quintuplets

Liberal President Senator Mar Roxas today committed to provide financial assistance and to help purchase antibiotic drugs for the treatment of the Fernandez quintuplets, two of whom remain in critical condition, at the neo-Intensive Care Unit of the Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center.

Roxas and fiancee Korina Sanchez visited the quintuplets and their parents Lorita and Gary Fernandez at the JRMMC, to whom they pledged assistance for their hospital bills. The couple likewise stood as primary sponsors during the baptism of the newly-born babies at the hospital

"Nagpunta po kami dito para magbigay ng tulong pinansiyal nang sa gayon ay magka-access sa gamot ang mag-asawang Fernandez. Napakamahal ng gamot na kailangan ng kanilang mga anak at nais nating matulungan ang mag-asawa," Roxas said.

He promised to facilitate and pay for the Surfactan injectibles requirement of the quintuplets, which JRMMC acting Director Emmanuel Montana said was necessary for the complete development of the babies' lungs.

Fr. Tony Labiao from the St. Peter Parish in Quezon City baptized the babies at the NICU, where two of the babies share an incubator. The babies were baptized Korina Ysabel, Maria Loralaine, Melodie Frances, Sarah Erika and Wenna Mavinia.

Roxas said he was awed when he learned that Lorita and Gary named two of their babies after him and Sanchez after watching the noontime show "Wowowee" where the senator and the broadcaster first confirmed their engagement.

"Magandang surpresa po sa amin na malamang pinangalanang Korina at Maria ang dalawa sa limang bata. Natuwa ang puso namin kaya kami nagpunta dito," Roxas said.

He added: "Kami po ay nagbibigay ng moral support at siyempre, iba pang suporta, sa mag-asawang sina Lori at Gary. Malaking tagumpay ang nakamit nila nung ipinanganak ang kanilang mga babies, 5 in 1 ito."

Sanchez vowed moral support for the Fernandez family, saying: "Ngayong ninong at ninang na kami, hanggang katandaan na ito."

Lorita Fernandez was in tears as she expressed her gratitude to the couple and to the other Good Samaritans who have been visiting her at the hospital, pledging and giving support - financial and others - for the quintuplets.

"Maraming, maraming, maraming salamat po sa lahat ng tumutulong sa amin, lalo na po kay Senador Mar at kay Ms. Korina sa pagdalaw nila sa akin at sa pagpayag na maging ninong at ninang ng aming mga anak," she said.

Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez on Wowowee

As what I had just shared you yesterday, Senator Mar Roxas and Ms. Korina Sanchez were in Wowowee with the show's host Willie Revillame. Roxas and Sanchez shared their love story to all the people. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to saw it on TV because of the brownout that hit Cebu for almost 6 hours so I was lucky to find an online video of that episode, thanks to Carlo Ople who made a blog post earlier than this.

On that episode also, Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez on Wowowee confirmed their engagement. Below are the exclusive video of Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez on Wowowee:

Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez on Wowowee tomorrow

I knew what Willie Revillame meant when he said last Thursday that Ms. Korina Sanchez will be in Wowowee this Saturday, April 25. I suspected that Korina can't go alone without Senator Mar Roxas, right? So, it became clearer when Willie announced in his show today that indeed Ms. Sanchez will be co-hosting the Willie of Fortune segment which will feature those who are getting married this year. That one rang the bell on my head!

It's now confirmed! I have received an email to watch Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez on Wowowee tomorrow.

Will the marriage proposal happen in Wowowee tomorrow?

Join me to find out about Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez on Wowowee tomorrow. Let's see what happens on that day.
