MANILA, Philippines -- Acoustic singer Princess Velasco is now engaged to her long-time non-showbiz boyfriend.
In an interview on "KrisTV" aired on Wednesday, Velasco announced that she and her boyfriend, who is a doctor, are going to get married on December 28.
Before their engagement, Velasco said it took a year before they finally agreed to move on from the mistakes they committed in the past.
The singer revealed that she and her boyfriend broke up before after she found out that he had fooled around.
During their separation, she also admitted that she had an affair with her bo yfriend's friend, who was in a relationship at the time.
"Parang cool off kami noon kasi," she told host Kris Aquino. "Inamin ko sa kanya ('yung affair) kasi he was trying to win me back. Noong una ayaw ko na kasi may ginawa akong hindi maganda pero he is doing so much to win me back, kasi ganoon siya when he say sorry he is really sincere. Hindi ko kaya na hindi sabihin ang pagkakamali ko kasi how can I go into a relationship again with him na hindi ako honest, so inamin ko. Ang hirap sabihin pero may hope ako na if we are really trying to work this out sana ay clean slate. Kung hindi I was ready to let him go."
Velasco recalled that her boyfriend became really angry when he found out about the affair.
"Noong time na 'yon he would call me at night para lang awayin ako kasi galit siya. Noong time na 'yon kahit gusto kong i-defend sarili ko hindi talaga. Ilabas mo na lang lahat. So parang swallow lang lahat ng sakit. Noong time na sa tingin ko tama na 'yung galit mo sa akin, tapos tinutuloy pa din niya. Tapos we are trying to work it out, kasi siya din gusto niya na ayusin," she said.
"So noong time na sumusobra na ako, sabi ko I'm here kahit masakit sa akin kasi mahirap ibalik ang dati. I'm going to try and really commit to trying pero if you want to try, huwag mo na akong sumbatan kasi I also have to protect my dignity, 'yung pagkatao ko. Matagal pong proseso, one year, but when he promised me na wala nang sumbatan, in fairness to him, wala nang sumbatan," she said.
