Our Story
Eight years in the making
In 2018, two people in Baguio were quietly putting their lives back together.
Syd shifted her minor from psychology to philosophy—nudged, gently but firmly, by Sir Adonis and Ma’am Kelly when other paths closed. Franz, meanwhile, had stepped away from law school and taken a teaching post at UP Baguio while finishing his Master’s degree. Both were beginning again.
That same year, because of the K–12 transition, there were fewer philosophy classes than usual, and the academic community felt unusually small. Paths that might not have crossed otherwise did.
One night, after a small gathering with friends, Syd and Franz found themselves still talking long after everyone else had gone home. They stayed until five in the morning, covering everything and nothing, the way people do when something unspoken has already begun.
There was no courtship. No first date. No grand declaration. Just two people who, quietly and without ceremony, chose each other—and a question that came too late to begin anything, but just in time to confirm it.
Eight years later, that recognition hasn’t faded.
So they are getting married!
