Shaira Diaz and EA Guzman, a celebrity couple known for their long-standing relationship, recently shared their gratitude for being recognized as an inspiration for premarital chastity. This acknowledgment came after they were cited in a church homily that highlighted their commitment to chastity before marriage.
In an interview with Ogie Diaz, the couple discussed their approach, emphasizing that their intention is not to impose their beliefs on others but to serve as a positive example. Their engagement announcement was a pivotal moment that reinforced their message, surprisingly receiving a warm reception from the public.
Guzman shared, “When we announced our engagement, we did not expect such acceptance. It turned out to be inspiring for many. We decided to continue on this path.”
Diaz added to the narrative by explaining their unexpected inclusion in a homily. “We became part of a homily. Two priests mentioned us, and we were sent videos and links that had gone viral. We were surprised by the positive reception, which shows how challenging it is to find such examples in today’s generation,” she stated.
Hosting a segment on “Unang Hirit,” Diaz reflected on the deeper significance of their example, particularly after hearing the priests’ messages about the sacredness of sex and the human body. She highlighted the importance of honoring one’s purity, despite the commonality of premarital sex among today’s youth.
Diaz and Guzman, who have been together for over a decade and got engaged in 2021, continue to share their journey, hoping to influence others positively without judgment towards those who choose differently.
