Maguindanao Representative Toto Mangudadatu comes to the defense of his new wife Sharifa Akeel after receiving backlash that she was a mistress.
The lawmaker said that Sharifa was never her mistress before they got married on August 25.
“Sa huling pagkakataon, nais kong linawin na hindi ko naging kalaguyo si Sharifa, kailanman,” Mangudadatu said in a video posted by Sharifa.
“Pinakasalan ko siya at buong puso akong naniniwala na tinanggap niya ako bilang isang asawa dahil mahal niya ako at hindi dahil sa aking estado,” he added.
Sharifa also shared how the two of them met in 2015.
She even denied the first marriage proposal of the lawmaker.
“Bukod sa napakaganda niya, nakitaan ko kasi si Sharifa ng kababaang loob. Malambing at napakabait. Higit sa lahat, may takot kay Allah. At madasalin siya,” Mangudadatu added.
“Kaya noon pa man, nagustuhan ko na siya at ilang beses ko na rin inalok ng kasal pero lagi naman niyang tinatanggihan,” he continued.
They started dating in 2016. (TDT)
