The couple marked the milestone with a quiet, romantic getaway at The Modern Lake House in Rizal, sharing the experience on Vice Ganda’s popular YouTube channel.

While marveling at the serene atmosphere of their chosen venue, Vice immediately addressed the high expectations surrounding their public relationship.

During their conversation, Vice Ganda made a remarkably candid confession, admitting their relationship is far from the fairy tale often perceived by the public.

"We’re not always strong," Vice revealed. "Hindi naman perfect ang relasyon namin. May mga time na nagkakatampuhan kami."

Ion Perez, who surprised Vice with a romantic motorcycle ride for the anniversary, provided the practical side of their relationship advice.

He stressed the importance of communication and quick reconciliation: "Hindi naman perpekto ‘yung relasyon namin. Bago pumutok ang umaga, pipilitin naming mag-usap. Hindi namin hahayaan ‘yung away. Bago matulog, mag-uusap na kami."

Ion further highlighted that the cornerstone of their lasting bond is respect. He admitted to moments of self-reflection: "Kapag mag-isa lang ako, napapaisip din ako kung nagagawa ko ba talaga ang tama bilang partner niya. At naibibigay ko ba ‘yung tamang respeto. Ganoon dapat sa relationship — hindi mawawala ‘yung respeto. ‘Yung maganda ay ‘yung respeto sa isa’t isa."

Vice Ganda followed up with a profound observation, comparing love to a professional discipline: "Mas mahirap mag-maintain ng relationship kaysa business."

The “It's Showtime” host noted that while schools offer courses on business, there are no formal classes on love.

"Sa eskuwelahan, may kurso tungkol sa negosyo. Pero wala namang kurso tungkol sa relationship, sa love. Matututunan mo siya kapag naranasan mo na siya," Vice explained. "Hindi mo alam na marami pa siyang klase, ibig sabihin, at kulay. Walang isang mukha ang love. But it’s all worth it."

The Kapamilya star shared that what makes Ion his ideal life partner is the consistent and gentle attention to his well-being.

"Tapos tatanungin niya, ‘Happy ka pa ba?’ He will always make sure na happy ako at okay kami. I think that’s very important lalo na kung matagal na kayo na masyado na kayong relaxed. Sa sobrang relaxed n’yo sa isa’t isa, hindi na kayo sensitive or hindi n’yo na tina-try malaman kung okay pa ba kayo kasi feeling mo okay na."

As fireworks illuminated the sky and Ion presented Vice with flowers and stuffed toys, Vice Ganda closed the celebratory vlog with a clear declaration of unwavering commitment: "I have decided to stick with this man for the rest of my life. I have decided to love this guy for the rest of my life."
