This is the standard: Teenager bravely introduces himself to parents of girl he’s courting during debut party

-

This young man did not think twice to stand up when the mother of the debutant asked if her daughter’s “manliligaw” attended the party.

“Tumayo ka diyan, at pumunta ka rito!” Mommy Sally Gutierrez can be heard saying in the video.

To her surprise, a young man stood up and walked towards the stage and even paid his respects to the debutant’s parents.

“Actually, hindi ko talaga po ineexpect na tatayo po talaga ‘yung guy, ‘yung manliligaw ko po. Nagulat din po ako kay mama na ginawa niya po iyon, mismong sa debut ko pa po,” Debutant Khenza Rosain Gutierrez shared with The Philippine STAR.

Mommy Sally said that she was really surprised by the young man’s move, noting that she was just joking during the event.

“Wala talaga akong idea kung sino ‘yung manliligaw ng anak ko. Iniisip ko nga bestfriend niya. Baka kako may tumayo, baka may nararamdaman siya sa anak ko, eto na ‘yung time. Di ko talaga inexpect na merong tatayo. At hindi ko talaga siya kilala,” she recalled.

“Open ako sa mga nanliligaw sa mga anak ko. Gusto ko open sa amin, kaya nung tumayo siya, natawa na lang din kaming mag-asawa. Nag-mano pa siya, plus point nga naman ‘yon. Tapos after non, inalam ko na ang background niya, pinrofile ko na siya, kung ito ba ay okay,” she added.

Mommy Sally said that she appreciated the young man’s action. “Ang gusto ko talaga sa batang iyon ay talagang nanindigan siya. Hindi lahat, nagagawa ‘yon.”

“Naramdaman ko po ‘yung sincerity doon kasi sa usual po na panliligaw sa bahay po, dadaan po sa formal way. Kaso po ‘yung sa kaniya pinakita niya po sa buong relatives ko. So napapa-wow ka, ganun ka po talaga. Proud po ako na nagawa niya po iyon,” Khenza echoed.

Khenza’s parents said that all of their visitors were also surprised by what the young man did during the debut. Nevertheless, Mommy Sally shared that she’s happy to get involved in her daughter’s love life.

After the debut, the young man continued to persuade Khenza’s parents. They are now on the stage of getting to know each other.

“Napunta po siya dito sa bahay. Nililigawan din po sila mama,” Khenza said.

Mommy Sally then noted the importance of being open about accepting suitors for her daughter.

“‘Yung panahon natin ngayon is iba na talaga. Kailangan natin magkaroon ng pag-uusap between sa anak ko at saka sa akin. Gusto ko maging open kami. Ayokong naglilihim,” she said.

“Kailangan talaga ‘yon. Kailangang magtiwala. Tiwala ako sa kaniya na yung mga pangaral ko ay kaya niya talagang i-apply sa sarili niya. Tiwala talaga na hindi siya mapapahamak balang-araw kung susunod siya sa akin,” Mommy Sally noted.
