Derek Ramsay pursued "pamamanhikan" via zoom
Despite living in modern times, actor Derek Ramsay revealed that his family still followed the practice of 'pamamanhikan,' or formally appealing Ellen Adarna's parents for permission before marrying. Derek claimed in an online interview with Dr. Vicki Belo that his mother wants to travel to Cebu to discuss with Ellen's parents about the wedding.
"My only wish is that we have to go to Cebu. We have to talk to the mom before you marry," Derek quoted his mom However, considering the present pandemic, she was unable to do so, instead, Derek prepared a Zoom 'pamamanhikan.'
Derek said, "We can't go because of the quarantine. No, they can't, they can't, my parents, I don't want to risk my parents. We organized a Zoom version of the 'pamanhikan,' because as my mom says, I have to do that," After that, the actor was able to ask Ellen's mother for her consent.
"I spoke to the mom asking permission for her hand and she said okay but no return no exchange," added Derek. He also stated that Ellen's mother has told him that she will be his greatest fan from now on.
Ellen, like Derek, is open and honest when it comes to answering questions. She bravely addressed a netizen's question on what's her secret to looking happier and healthier with partner Derek Ramsay during her Instagram Q&A segment. After meeting and getting along at a party in January, Ellen and Derek became a couple. Compatibility and the capacity to understand each other, according to the actress, were important factors.
The couple was also well-known for their taunting behavior. Derek recently shared a video on Instagram in which he was seen praising a Dunkin' Donuts promotion. The actor was concentrating intensely, but a woman's well-polished finger could be seen functioning as a "microphone." The actor then panned the camera to Ellen, who was trying to make kulit in a charming way. Derek did, in fact, say, "Ang kulit nito."
