MANILA – In a rare opportunity, Loisa Andalio and Ronnie Alonte jointly opened up about their relationship when they appeared on “Magandang Buhay” on Monday.

After being a couple for more than three years now, Andalio said there was never a time when she regretted being in a relationship with Alonte.

“Kasi si Ronnie din talaga 'yung tumulong sa akin. Siya 'yung kumbaga bumuo sa akin. Siya 'yung naging tatay ko din, 'yung parang tagapayo ko. Kasi wala akong tatay na kasama sa bahay, wala akong tatay na gumagabay. Wala akong tatay na nagsasabi sa akin. Siya 'yung ganun sa akin,” she said.

However, Alonte admitted that there came appoint when he almost gave up on them.

“Maraming beses na akong gustong sumuko pero naisip ko hindi ko pala talaga kayang wala siya,” he said.

While it may be a distraction sometimes, Alonte acknowledged that there is huge advantage when he’s working with Andalio.

“Nakakatulong din sa trabaho. Iba 'yung sigla mo, iba 'yung aura mo kapag inspired ka. May inspirasyon ka,” he said.

While they have been through various challenges, Alonte chooses to look at these in an optimistic way.

“Kung hindi dahil sa pagsubok, hindi kami tatagal. Hindi kami magiging malakas. Kaya sabi ko sa kanya, simula pa lang ito. Marami pa kaming pagdadaanan,” he said.

Alonte and Andalio first confirmed that they are in a romantic relationship in December 2018.

The two met on ABS-CBN's noontime show "It's Showtime."
