WEDDING bells will soon ring for longtime athlete-couple Michele Gumabao and Aldo Panlilio.
Eight years to the day their relationship began, Panlilio popped the all-important question in a special scenery in Tokyo, Japan.
And the Creamline ace spiker made it official through an Instagram post on Thursday.
LOOK:
"8 to infinity with you," said Gumabao.
The couple's momentous engagement took place on Aug. 8 — coinciding with their eighth anniversary in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Panlilio, a strength and conditioning coach for the San Miguel Beermen and a basketball player himself, shared some snaps of their momentous milestone.
"8/8 celebrating our 8th year and it's infinity with you," wrote Panlilio.
Gumabao has been a vital presence for the undermanned Cool Smashers in its title campaign in the 2024 PVL Reinforced Conference.
In five games sans star trio Alyssa Valdez, Tots Carlos and Alas Pilipinas-bound Jema Galanza, Gumabao emerged as Creamline's second-leading local scorer at the end of Round 1 with 15 points in five games to date.
