Shuvee Etrata says Anthony Constantino made the first move on her

Shuvee Etrata revealed how she met her fellow Sparkle actor Anthony Constantino, who is currently courting her.

On "Your Honor," the former PBB housemate said that although she already had a crush on Anthony, it was the Los Angeles-born model who made the first move.

"Si Anthony naman, naging crush ko siya sa series ni Esnyr. Nakita ko lang siya sa TikTok FYP ko. Nakita ko siya sa FYP, then ni-repost ko lang," Shuvee said.

"Ang type ko kasi taga TDH [tall, dark and handsome], like Donny Pangilinan is my crush. So, nung nakita ko siya, hala, same, gano'n. So, naging crush ko rin siya," she said of Anthony. 

Shortly after, Anthony followed her on all her social media platforms and even slid on her DMs.

"Pero nung nag-chat siya, malakas loob ko kasi akala ko nasa LA [siya]," she recalled. 

Looking back on their first conversation, Anthony's opening message was, "Hi, ganda," to which she playfully replied, "Hi, pogi."

As things began to blossom between them, Anthony brought Shuvee to church and started learning how to court her the traditional Filipino way.

"He's a church guy. Pero kasi liberated siya. So, he needs to learn how to court sa Filipino," she said. "Pero he's pure Filipino. So, the core values are like really Filipino. So, nanligaw siya agad. We've been seeing each other. Tapos, 'yun na 'yung nanligaw na siya."

Shuvee said that their courtship began before she entered Bahay ni Kuya. The Island Ate ng Cebu also shared that Anthony has already met her parents.

When asked if she had taught Anthony how to court in the traditional Filipino way, the Kapuso actress said she didn't.

"Ayan ang ayaw kong gawin. I can never teach a man how to become a man," she said.

Shuvee and her duo Klarisse de Guzman were the last housemates to get evicted by public voting.

When she returned to the outside world, Anthony was among those who welcomed her and even gave her a bouquet of flowers.

Shuvee also took to Instagram to proudly show off Anthony, playfully using her signature "TDH" line—short for "tall, dark, and handsome"—a phrase she used to describe house guest Donny Pangilinan. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News
