Glaiza has just returned to the Philippines from her vacation in Ireland where she spent the holidays with David's family.
The Kapuso actress is back in the country in time to start taping for her upcoming series titled Nagbabagang Luha, a Kapuso adaptation of the classic '80s movie in which she will star alongside Rayver Cruz.
But before resuming her showbiz duties, Glaiza sat down with members of the media for a virtual press conference where celebrity couple Chynna Ortaleza and Kean Cipriano introduced her as one of the newest talents of OC Records.
It was during this interview when Glaiza, who was still in cloud nine, recalled David's proposal.
According to the actress, it was her third day in Ireland when her now fiancé decided to pop the big question.
She said, “Nagyaya lang siya ng breakfast, nang sunrise kasi ganun talaga siya eh, 'Tara, sunrise tayo,' ganyan, 'breakfast tayo.'
"Tapos nung time na 'yun sobrang lamig na talaga kasi papunta na nga ng winter 'yung season. Wala akong ka-idi-idea kasi 'yung lugar kung saan siya nag-propose, napuntahan na naman namin before tapos naglakad lang kami ng mga 15-20 minutes.
"Napansin ko lang siguro noong nandun na kami tapos parang paikot-ikot lang kami, tapos hina-hug niya ako na parang 'Ano ba 'to? Parang ang weird. Bakit parang ano, may weird akong nararamdaman.'
"Pero tina-try kong i-brush off. Alam mo 'yung few minutes bago mangyari 'yun, talagang may kutob ako na 'Hala, 'wag naman. Hindi pa ako ready.' May ganun akong feeling.”
Before eating their first meal, David finally mustered the courage to ask her to be his wife.
She continued, saying, “Tapos hindi siya mapakali. Sabi niya, 'Lipat tayo dito,' ganyan, 'para sheltered tayo' kasi mahangin nga so nakakadagdag ng lamig 'yung hangin.
“Noong lumipat kami, sabi ko, 'Ano ba 'to, nakalatag na kami't lahat, naka-relax na ako, bigla siyang ayun nagpatugtog ng song na naging rason kung bakit kami nagkausap.
"Ang title ng song ay “Loaded” from Primal Scream, tapos na-weirdohan na naman ako kasi sabi ko, 'Oh, bakit may pa-music. Okay, o sige, party!' Gumanon pa ako, 'yehey, party.'
"Tapos tinanong niya na ako, sabi niya, 'Can I ask you something?' Noong pagkatanong niya sa akin na 'yun, 'yun parang 'eto na 'yun tapos naiiyak na ako, ganyan. Tapos bigla siyang lumuhod tapos ayun, tinanong na niya ako.”
Despite witnessing several proposals on screen and in real life, Glaiza realized that nothing prepared her for that grand moment. She also revealed how David asked for her parents' approval in the sweetest way.
She related, “Ganun pala talaga 'yung feeling na para kang ewan, parang surreal, na pagkatapos din nun parang lumulutang pa rin ako. 'Yung ganun.
"Tapos nagpaalam na pala siya sa parents ko at Tagalog siyang nagpaalam. Pina-translate niya doon sa kaibigan ko na parang ang lalim pa ng Tagalog eh, 'Gusto ko pong hingin ang kamay ng inyong anak?'
"Nagbihis pa daw siya, ganun pero online dahil nga nasa Ireland siya. 'Yung nanay ko 'tsaka 'yung tatay ko, vinideo-call niya, tapos nakaayos pa, ganun.”
The prenup
While Glaiza got the surprise of her life while vacationing in Ireland, what was reported as their prenup was something she actually planned.
She talked about one of their previous trips around the country, “Dumaan kami sa isa sa location shoots ng Game of Thrones. Though hindi ako masyadong, hindi ako big fan ng Game of Thrones pero sobra lang akong na-amaze doon sa location kasi talagang parang painting 'yung Ireland.
"Kaya naisip ko rin na, 'Okay, gawa kaya ako ng something dito.' Sinasabi ko 'yun sa kanila. Like kay David, sinabi ko sa kanya, 'Sorry ah, gagawa ako ng work dito kasi nasa sistema ko na laging naghahanap ng work at laging gagawa ng something kasi parang hindi kumpleto 'yung bakasyon ko or 'yung trip ko na wala akong ginagawa.”
So when she returned to Ireland in December, she knew she wanted to shoot a music video there for her upcoming single, “Bank Holiday.”
“Bank Holiday” is Glaiza's original which she was able to create when she studied music production in London. And now that her friends, Chynna and Kean have established their own entertainment company, the actress found the perfect time to release her song.
She said, "'Yung prenup naman, sa totoo lang music video talaga 'yung ginawa namin tapos siningit na lang namin 'yun. Hindi talaga prenup 'yung naging main reason kung bakit meron kaming mga sweet photos pero part 'yung ng music video.”
Needless to say, its music video will feature David as her leading man. It will be released some time in February but Glaiza has already teased her fans and followers about it via her Twitter account.
She wrote, “Kakatapos lang ng online meeting regarding sa editing ng video. Grabe, parang kailan lang nung tumatakbo kami sa forest tapos naisip ko 'gandang location neto sa music video' tapos ngayon tapos na siya. Huhu.”

Tapos ngayon tapos na siya. Huhu
She further shared how she collaborated with Paul Doherty, their Irish director, saying, “Sabi ko, kapag may nakikita kang isang lugar specifically dito sa Ireland, parang pag mag-take ako ng photo or ng video, hindi siya nagma-manifest doon sa outcome ng kinunan ko. So gusto kong maipakita sa kanila exactly kung paano ko siya nakita. And hopefully through this video, makita nila na 'Ah, okay, ganito pala doon,' and alam mo 'yun for a while, mapunta ka doon, maka-escape ka.”
