Love amidst Politics

by: Paul John Madera


Manuel Araneta Roxas II or Known as Mar Roxas is one of the Presidentiables of the coming 2010 National Election. Amidst these political commitments of Mar came an interesting love story between him and one of the country’s celebrated news anchor Korina Sanchez.
The two announced their coming wedding this October 23, 2009. The venue is a toss-up between Sto. Domingo Church and the Manila Cathedral. But the reception will definitely be held at Bahay na Puti (in Cubao, Quezon City), the home of Mar’s lolo and lola and the venue of the reception for the wedding of Mar’s parents, former Sen. Gerry Roxas and Judy Araneta, and his aunt Baby Araneta and Dr. Raul Fores.
Being a public figure will never be easy as one plus one. Many people questioned the immediacy of ROXAS-SANCHEZ wedding and it’s relation to the coming election of Sen. Roxas. But surely this one is a love story worth every happiness like any other love story; a love story amidst politics.
