Don’t let your one great love go.

They’re tales as old as time, though not necessarily with a happily ever after. They’re the kind of love stories that end in a bittersweet manner, leaving your heart hungry for more. Unfortunately for you, the romantic within will always stay hungry. These are the tales of the ones that got away. Grand romances and one great loves that were never able to be seen through.

As Filipinos, we love our drama. We’re obsessed with it. We look up to the love lives of our local celebrities- our icons. We find ourselves transfixed and obsessed, even to the point where we’re driven insane by a single instagram post of a couple’s amicable reunion. So here we are. Reviewing the worst breakups in Filipino pop culture’s history. Let’s try not to cry.

Sharon Cuneta and Gabby Concepcion

A story for the ages. After falling madly in love over thirty years ago, they decided to have the Filipino version of a royal wedding. The love didn’t last though, as they split up, though not before having a daughter. Today, everything is at peace as they try to make a movie together.

Aga Muhlach and Lea Salonga

The nineties were a time of hidden love. At least for Aga Muhlach. After years of keeping it to himself, he released a letter earlier this year confessing his lifelong love for Lea Salonga, the person who he declares saved his career. The person he let get away.

Anne Curtis and Sam Milby

It may not seem like it now, seeing how fans are obsessed with Anne and her new husband, Erwan Heussaff, but just short of a decade ago, Sam Milby leaving caused quite a stir. His decision to leave her for God left her shaken, as you can see at 2:20 in the video above.

Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson

Kim and Gerald’s relationship is a prime example of a great love that simply fizzled out. After spending years with no contact, they’ve spent a long while reconnecting this 2017. Going as far as giving each other relationship advice, we see that there’s no more bad blood here. Only silent longing.

Jericho Rosales and Heart Evangelista

Thanks to Tim Yap’s Instagram posts highlighting the events of the Rimowa dinner, fans were treated to a mini reunion. Our hearts break with the knowledge that they will always consider each other as their one great loves.

“[It was like] you and me against the world. We could live in a kubo, I don’t care if we eat in a carinderia, my God, magkamay tayo! It’s the best life I ever had, and I will never forget it.” — Heart Evangelista

The fact that they’re both happily married to other people is a movie moment that made the scene more emotional for fans.
