She added that she told Mananquil not to carry her for the third pose like a newlywed so not to "jinx" their relationship.
"But then suddenly at the third pose, he just knelt down and said, "I love you so much baby, will you ride this rollercoaster of life with me?"," shared Magaloma.
Mananquil also revealed that he had made his plans to propose since last year, when they were entering their first year of relationship.
As to why it was done in Japan, the musician said that the country has always been a very special place for them.
