She said that her fiance-now-husband is also fond of CLOY and a Korean drama addict as well.

Salangguni as a Muslim tradition in Mindanao for engagement

Aside from their prenup, the congresswoman also shared a stunning and unique concept of their “Salangguni” or engagement ceremony. She mentioned that they had to make a lot of changes to the ceremony since they had to move the data from June 28. “For the inspiration of the engagement, I really wanted to incorporate and show our Muslim tradition po here in Mindanao,” Sakaluran mentioned.

She recalled, their estimated guests were like 1,000 but it did not happen because of the pandemic. After that, Sakaluran’s grandfather advised them to push through their salangguni/pagturul tayma/engagement after the lockdown. Because of that, they just decided to hold the event on their farmhouse as a family gathering only.
