His days as a bachelor may be numbered.

Sen. Mar Roxas, the most eligible bachelor politician, yesterday hinted in an informal lunch meeting with reporters that he might get hitched next year most probably with his current flame, veteran broadcaster Korina Sanchez.

“All of us have dreams of getting married. I hope it happens," said Roxas who played coy to reporters probing him with personal questions.

When asked when he intended to get married, Roxas said: "Not today, not this month, and not this year. But there are 365 days next year."

Roxas, however, refused to say who he would walk down the aisle with although he did smile when Sanchez's name was mentioned by reporters.

Roxas and Sanchez have been linked romantically since the 2001 elections when the old rich family scion topped the senatorial race as "Mr. Palengke."

The couple has been the subject of wedding rumors over the past years with their public display of affection on television and public events. (A fan even put up a Mar-Korina blog spot on the web with news, text messages, and pictures of their trips and television appearances but this has not been updated since 2004).


Note : Senator Mar topped the senatorial race in 2004 and not in 2001. If the article is pertaining to this blog, this Newblog is regularly updated.

Handa nang pakasalan ni Senador Mar Roxas ang batikang broadcaster na si Korina Sanchez ngayong papasok na taong 2008.

Ito ang pagmamalaking sinabi ng senador matapos makipagkantyawan sa ilang kausap na Senate reporters kahapon ng tanghali.

Bagaman hindi malinaw kung anong uri ng 'kasal' ang magaganap sa pagharap sa dambana sa babaeng itinuturing niyang pinakamamahal, inamin nito na mangyayari iyon sa susunod na taon kung hindi lamang magkakaroon ng aberya.

Sa simula, bantulot si Roxas na sumagot hinggil sa isyu ng kasal. Nakipagbiruan pa ito na hindi mangyayari ang kasal ngayong taong 2007, pero ikinukonsidera niya na mangyayari ito sa papasok na taon.

"Lahat naman tayo may pangarap magpakasal. Sana mangyari nga iyon," halos pagkakilig pa na sinabi ng Presidente ng Liberal Party.

Itinuturing na si Sanchez ang pinaka-lucky charm ni Roxas sa pulitika dahil aminin man nito o hindi, malaki ang naitulong ng beteranang broadcaster sa kandidatura nito noon nangangampanya pa lamang ito bilang senador.

Maugong naman na si Roxas ang tatakbo bilang pangulo ng bansa sa inaabangang 2010 presidential elections.

Sakaling matuloy ang pagpapakasal kay Korina na isa ring dalaga hanggang sa ngayon, tiyak na ito na ang magiging 'first lady' ng bansa sakaling manalo sa kinapananabikang halalan.
