When Lara Quigaman recently went "spring cleaning and decluttering" at a storage facility, the actress and mom of 3 found a reminder from her past life as a beauty pageant queen: the sash she won at the 2005 Miss International.
As seen in a video Lara later on shared on Instagram, she wore what she described in the caption as her "antique" sash. She then sashayed down the hall of the storage facility with her second child Tobin watching and "nakirampa" in awe.
One of the first commenters in Lara's post is her husband and fellow actor Marco Alcaraz. He wrote, "My Fave Beauty Queen. Freshness!! Parang kakapanalo lng."
Marco also reposted his wife's video and called Lara in the caption his "Still My Favorite Beauty Queen." He added in jest, "Mamaya pahiram ng Sash and Crown mo.. ako naman rarampa."
Marco and Lara, whose other kids are the eldest Noah and the youngest Moses, are known to express their affection for each other on social media. Marco also shares nuggests of wisdom from their 11 years of married life, and uses his own hashtag.

Here are some of the lessons that Marco has shared online:
Tip No. 1
"No Marriage is perfect. Those celebrating 30, 40, 50 years of togetherness, they’re celebrating forgiveness, tolerance, ignoring husbands stupidity, overlooking the wife’s misbehaviors. Money does not determine a better marriage but character and loyalty does."
Tip No. 2
"Diligin ninyo ng pag-ibig ang isa’t-isa para sumagana ang pagsasama. Ang maayos at matatag na pagsasama ng mag-asawa ay hindi nagaganap nang basta basta ito ay parang halaman na inaalagaan at dindiligan. Pag-ibig ang ipandilig, hindi masamang hinala, paninira, o pangungutya."
Tip No. 3
"Ano ba ibig sabihin ng to be in a relationship?
"It means that you are committing to be someone’s life partner thru good and bad times. It means you choose them every single day.
"It means na wala kayong secreto sa isa’t isa and you allow them to share their secrets without judgement.
"It means you accept lahat ng flaws nila at ang past nila. It means you laugh, cry, struggle celebrate and live life together."
Tip No. 4
"Pag nag asawa kayo kayo tandaan nyo lagi na isa kayong team. Always fight for your marriage, not fight in the marriage."
Tip No. 5
"Be with someone who’ve seen all your imperfection and bad sides.. but still choose you."
