It's official: Bea Alonzo, Dominic Roque announce split

MANILA, Philippines: Celebrities Bea Alonzo and Dominic Roque finally broke their silence to officially announce the end of their engagement after weeks of speculation surrounding their relationship status.

In a joint statement released Sunday on social media, the former couple wrote, "After much thought, consideration, and care, we have mutually decided to amicably end our engagement. It was not an easy decision. We wanted to have more time to carefully deliberate and pray about it, but there have been many speculations, questions, and insults." "Unfortunately, some confirmed our break-up without our consent, and some created ridiculous stories that had no basis and were utterly false, so we felt the need to share this announcement with great sadness, for our peace of mind and our families," Alonzo and Roque said.
