3. Sen. Ralph Recto & Vilma Santos : (married for 23 years)
Got married on December 11, 1992 in Lipa, Batangas, the couple celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary last year. With their union, one can say that age does not matter. They have a 10-year age difference. When they first met, Vilma was 31 and Ralph was only 21 years old only, and still a student.
They were together as boyfriend-girlfriend for seven years. Vilma only discovered that she loves him that much when she helped in his campaign as congressman of Batangas n 1992. She realized that she loves him that much to campaign for him even though she’s not yet his wife. This was published on Pep.ph, in an article written by Ruben Marasigan on Aril 14, 2015.
They too, were not spared from the usual problems of married couples, and despite all the problems and troubles they’ve encountered, have decided to stick it out with each other.
