MANILA – Fresh off leading the Philippine women’s beach volleyball team to SEA Games gold in Bangkok, Sisi Rondina capped 2025 with another triumph: getting engaged to longtime boyfriend Bernie Sarmiento. The proposal—captured in heartwarming photos and videos—went viral on December 29, 2025, with Sisi showing off her stunning diamond ring amid tears of joy and family cheers.
Sisi, 28, shared the moment on social media: “From gold medals to this ring—thank you, Lord, for all the blessings. Yes, Bernie, forever!” The intimate beachside setup (echoing her volleyball roots) featured fairy lights, flowers, and a “Marry Me” sign, with Sisi’s signature energy shining through as she jumped into Bernie’s arms.
The couple—together for years—kept the relationship low-key amid Sisi’s packed schedule: PVL stardom with Choco Mucho, national team duties, and now wedding planning. Fans flooded comments: “From spiking to saying ‘I do’—queen deserves it all!” and “Perfect ending to a golden year!”
Sisi’s 2025 highlights—SEA Games gold, PVL All-Filipino Finals MVP runner-up—now crowned with this personal milestone. Wedding bells in 2026?
Congratulations, Sisi and Bernie—love wins! 💍🏐
