ICYMI, Angelica Panganiban recently tied the knot with her non-showbiz partner Gregg Homan. The couple welcomed the New Year as newlyweds (their wedding took place on December 31st!), and we're excited to find out where Mr. and Mrs. Homan will be spending their honeymoon.
The longtime couple chose to spend their "Babymoon" by the beach, which is fitting when you realize where they first met—Subic!

In one of Angelica's vlogs, they spent their first Christmas holiday as a family of three at the Homans' Subic resort called Mangrove Resort Hotel.
