It’s official!
TV5 FVP for creative and entertainment production Perci Intalan is engaged to his boyfriend of 10 years — Jun Lana, the award-winning writer-director of “Bwakaw”. The gay couple will tie the knot in New York City in October — to the approval and delight of friends and colleagues in the entertainment industry.
“Yes, I’m getting married. Thank you!” Perci told News5 with a hearty laugh. “Nakakatuwa lahat ng reaksyon. I never thought I’d be on this side of the interview. Nakaka-overwhelm ang suporta. ”In our situation it’s all spontaneous, pero alam namin gusto namin.”
Perci and Jun, who are both in their early 40s, made the decision to get married while celebrating their 10th anniversary on Tuesday.
“10 years of love, laughter and respect. That’s about 50 in straight years,” Jun said on Facebook that day, a post accompanied by a photo of a framed portrait of the couple.
So who proposed to whom? According to Perci, the decision was really spontaneous. It just happened after he gifted the both of them with matching engagement rings (right).
In a spur of the moment, they decided to post a picture of the rings on Facebook with the caption, “You are cordially invited…”
“We’re really blessed,” Perci acknowledged. “Bukod sa relationshop sa isa’t isa, all our friends and family know about us. This is just graduating and making it official.”
The couple realizes that the wedding will not be legally binding in the Philippines.
“To be perfectly candid, whatever is official there doesn’t necessarily apply here. But I think it’s the act and going somewhere which is officially recognized means something to us,” Perci said.
