"Pitong taon ng pag-ibig.
Hindi perpekto, pero totoo.
Hindi man laging tugma, pero palagi nating pinipili ang tama.
Tayo pa rin. Tayong dalawa.
Hanggang dulo—ikaw at ako.
Sa 'yo lang ang tingin.
Mahal na mahal kita.
Happy 7th anniversary,
Maria Isadora Bianca."
Ruru confirmed his relationship with Bianca in 2022. The couple has talked about marriage, with Ruru calling Bianca The One.
