Mahal namin kayo 🥹 #PaoChella2026,” the band’s caption read. </p><p>Meanwhile, Marian dismissed the rumors circulating on social media about a “power couple” that were having relationship issues. The blind item was being linked to them by netizens to which the Kapuso actress has since then refuted through Rose Garcia, a friend of the couple.</p><p>“I messaged Yan (Marian). I said, &#x27;I&#x27;m sure you&#x27;re aware of the blind item where you and Dong are mentioned in the comments section,” Rose shared.</p><p>“She (Marian) said, &#x27;Ate, jusme. What are those blind items?’” she added.</p><p>It was just last December 30 when the couple celebrated their wedding anniversary. </p>
