Ana & Edgar Love Story

Love Through Time


Ana and Edgar started as typical high school classmates in the province where life seemed to be routinary. They both have the same circle of friends and so hanging out after school, during weekends, or the much-awaited annual town fiesta in Luna was just normal. On their Senior year, their closeness began and from a simple friendship they started opening up to each other and shared common interests. From group hang outs, they became “partners” in almost everything and that’s when their friends began to notice that something special is going on between them. On March 30, 1998, they put a label on their relationship and officially started dating.


Maintaining a long-distance relationship when they were in college was quite a challenge back then. Ana was studying in Manila and Edgar pursued a degree in the province. They relied on love letters sent through the traditional mail. On some occasions when they wanted to hear each other’s voice, they would use the old telephone booth where you have to drop coins to extend a minute. And when summer vacation hits, that was the only time they get to see each other again. It was indeed hard but they were able to endure four long years because of their love and commitment to each other despite their young age. After graduation, Edgar went on board as a seaman and worked on a ship while Ana found a job in Manila. It was another challenge to be far from each other. After one and a half year, Edgar returned from the ship and that’s the time they decided to get married in a civil wedding. They were blessed with a healthy and handsome little boy right after.


Their love story is not nothing but grand or extraordinary but it was built on faith, respect, commitment, support, and unconditional love for each other. To be “in-love” and keep the intimacy in marriage for more than two decades despite the distance is a considered a blessing. As they renew their vows on March 30, 2026, Ana and Edgar can proudly look into each other’s eyes and say “they made it”. As they always say to each other, “Puwedeng maghirap, puwedeng mapagod, puwedeng magpahinga, pero walang bibitaw. Pipiliin kita PALAGI”.
