Iwa Moto said her longtime partner, Pampi Lacson, promised to marry her after his annulment with Jodi Sta. Maria.

On a talk show on Monday, Iwa shared that Pampi had given her a promise ring.

“Pampi gave me a promise ring before, that he would marry me after the annulment with Jodi,” she said.

When Pampi and Iwa announced their relationship in February this year, Jodi expressed her support for the couple.

“If you only knew how happy I am because we waited so long for this,” Iwa recalled Jodi saying.

According to Iwa, Pampi proposed to her during their trip to Japan as she wanted to visit her father’s grave.

Iwa also revealed that they are planning a wedding for 2028.

“Unfortunately, I am not a Disney Princess. I need to save up, we both need to save up because of course, getting married is quite expensive. And it would be embarrassing to ask other people for help,” she said.

“We are really trying our best to work hard and earn money to get married,” she added.

Per Iwa, they plan to tie the knot after the 2028 national elections. In fact, Jodi will serve as one of the wedding planners.

“Around August. So that things are no longer chaotic, and it’s peaceful,” she said.

Iwa has been in a relationship with Pampi for 14 years. They have two children together: a son named Uno and a daughter named Mia.
