Sen. Win Gatchalian shares Christmas gift for Bianca Manalo: 'I will always be by your side'

Sen. Win Gatchalian has revealed his gift for Bianca Manalo this Christmas after the latter got involved in cheating rumors that she has denied.

The politician, in an Instagram post, gave a glimpse of their Christmas tree decorated with couple photos given to them by Sen. Sonny Angara and his wife Tootsy. "Merry Christmas to everyone!" he wrote in the caption. "To @biancamanalo, my 2023 Christmas gift to you—I will always be by your side."

He also previously noted that they "share the same values and principles in life" and that "no fake news will divide [them] apart."

The beauty queen and actress was recently involved in an alleged cheating controversy with Rob Gomez. Screenshots of her Instagram and Telegram messages for the actor were posted on his social media pages last week, implying that they planned to hang out in secret.

Bianca later denied the rumors and stressed that she and Rob are just “friends and co-workers.” She expressed how “upsetting” it is that their messages got leaked without her consent, calling it a “breach of privacy” and the “cause of so much online bashing.”

She also noted that it’s obvious that parts of their conversation were deleted “to create malicious insinuations.” 

Bianca has been in a longtime relationship with Sen. Gatchalian. The two became tight-lipped about their romance until November 2019, when they celebrated their first anniversary together.

Rob shares an eight-month-old daughter named Amelia with beauty queen Shaila Rebortera, who, in August this year, accused him of physically and verbally abusing her. She has since separated from the actor and has been living with their daughter.

Aside from Bianca, screenshots of Rob having an alleged affair with Herlene Budol also went viral online. The messages also implied they were expecting a baby, which Herlene recently addressed on X. 

Bianca, Herlene, and Rob are co-stars in GMA 7 series Magandang Dilag.
