ICYMI, Angelica Panganiban recently tied the knot—again!—with her non-showbiz partner Gregg Homan. Their first wedding took place on December 31, and Mr. and Mrs. Homan recently invited their closest friends and family to another intimate celebration in Siargao.
The longtime couple chose to host the festive affair by the beach on Saturday, April 20, which is fitting since they first met in Subic! ICYDK, Gregg's family also owns a dive resort there called Mangrove Resort Hotel.
This time, the couple opted for another picturesque local destination: Siargao! While some guests stayed at close by resorts (for example, Dr. Aivee and Dr. Z Teo booked a stay at Christophe Bariou's Maison Bukana), the main event took place at Inara Siargao.
