"The love story of Boy and Cristy Galura began with both of them wanting to enter the glitzy and glamorous world of entertainment. Cristy, an avid fan of Superstar Nora Aunor, was a contestant of the defunct singing search Tawag ng Tanghalan. Boy, on the other hand, was a band member," states the press release promoting the episode.
"They first met when Cristy auditioned as vocalist for Boy’s band. According to Glaiza’s mom, she had a crush on Boy the day she auditioned for the band. Little did she know that her little crush would bloom into a relationship when Boy fell in love with her despite her past.
"Boy and Cristy had their share of ups and downs both as colleagues and as a couple, but despite their differences, the power of love rules on them leading to their happy ever after.
"The couple built a family with their eldest, Glaiza, successfully continuing their dream to be in showbiz."
