"Hindi ko alam kung anong hiwaga ang meron ka, pero sa'yo ko natagpuan ang kapayapaan sa gitna ng gulo, at ang saya sa gitna ng lungkot," she added. (I don't know what magic you hold, but through you I found peace in the middle of chaos, and happiness in the middle of melancholy.) Bianca promised Ruru that she will always choose him: today, tomorrow, and every day. "Pitong taon pa lang 'to, pero parang habambuhay na kitang mahal," she said. (It's only seven years but I feel like I've loved you a lifetime.) Earlier, Ruru also shared an appreciation post for Bianca and wrote a short but sweet poem.
