Volley player Jaja Santiago got engaged with Japanese volleyball coach Taka Minowa.
“Too many attempts, and finally without him kneeling to ask me. I said yes!” the former National University athlete wrote on Instagram on Saturday, August 27.
“It’s not about how long the relationship was, it’s about how he makes you feel that he is the right one,” she added.
Last July, Santiago gave hint about her relationship with the coach in a social media post.
