A police officer on Thursday, October 6, had proposed marriage to his girlfriend, President Duterte's aide-de-camp, shortly after the president had delivered his speech at the police headquarters in Camp Rafael Rodriguez in Butuan City.
As the President was preparing to leave the stage, Police Senior Inspector Arvin Jumillo asked President Duterte to give him three minutes to propose to his girlfriend for five years and 10 months -- Police Senior Inspector Romea Alnieza Kinang.
“My beloved President, Sir. Humihiling po ako ng tatlong minute lang po sa ngalan ng pag-ibig, Sir. I would like to take this, I would like to grab this very rare opportunity and perfect timing, Sir,” Jusmillo said.
“Lingid sa kaalaman ng nakararami, Sir. ‘Yung aide de camp nyo, Sir. Si police senior inspector Romea Alnieza Kinang, Sir, she is my girlfriend for five years and 10 months already, Sir,” he added.
The police officer said he and Kinang were supposed to get married this October but had been cancelled because they had broken up.
“Ganun pa man sir, I’m thankful na talagang everything happens for a reason. Had it happen na kinasal tayo, hindi mangyayari ito na makapag-propose ako sa ‘yo before the President of the Republic and viewing public throughout the world,” he said while the audience cheered for him.
Jumillo said that it was a rare opportunity for President Duterte to witness the event so he gathered all the courage to propose to his girlfriend. According to him: “Kaya hinugot ko ang lakas ng loob sa katawan ko para gawin ito. Sa ngalan ng pag- ibig, sir.”
The cop then shared his message to Kinang saying: “Romea Alnieza Kinang, when you left me, I realized na for the past five years and 10 months na we’ve been together, na-realize ko na marami akong pagkukulang as your boyfriend. But don’t you worry, pakasalan mo lang ako, I still have forever para bumawi as your husband,” he said.
With a boquet of roses, Jusmillo went up onstage and handed the flowers to his girlfriend. He gave Kinang an engagement ring and kissed her on the cheek while the song "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz was playing in the background.
After the successful proposal, President Duterte was seen clapping. Jumillo shook hands with the President and took a photo with his girlfriend.
