Donita Rose says marrying 'virgin' husband an 'answered prayer'
MANILA, Philippines — Actress Donita Rose descibed her husband Felson Palad as an "answered prayer."
In her recent interview with Boy Abunda, Donita said she had a bucket list of characteristics for a new partner.
"I have a prayer list, very specific. Sabi ko, puwedeng pastor, puwedeng worship leader, dapat Pinoy or at least half. Dapat guwapo siyempre," Donita said.
"Dapat matangkad pa sa akin. Dapat siya 'yung magiging breadwinner, kasi marami akong pinagdaanan. At hindi lang 'yan, dapat nakakatawa," she added.
Donita also revealed that she married a virgin guy.
"Nag-joke pa ako kay Lord na hindi ko talaga akalain, sabi ko, 'Lord, sana maging virgin ang asawa ko.' Natupad!" she said.
"When I met him and we started talking as friends, eventually we started dating, he said, 'May confession ako sa yo. Virgin pa ako.' Tapos hindi ko siya sinagot. Sabi niya, 'Bakit, na-turn off ka na ba?'
"Sabi ko naman, 'Alam mo ba na iyan ang prayer ko kay Lord?' Hindi ko akalaing nakakatawa pala si Lord. Na kaya Niyang sagutin pati 'yung small things."
Donita and Felson tied the knot on September 24, 2022 in San Clemente, California. — Video from GMA Network YouTube channel
