<p>Ryan Bang shared that having a meal with both his mother and father present was an answered prayer for him during his first trip to Korea with his girlfriend, Paola Huyong.</p><p>&quot;In my life, lagi kong pine-pray &#x27;yun eh. Sabi ko, ano ba gusto ko mangyari sa future ko? Gusto ko ba maging milyonaryo o gusto ko ba maging super famous? What makes me happy ba? Sabi ko siguro lunch o dinner [with my parents]. Siyempre gusto ko mag-travel with my mom and dad na complete sila pero hindi na ako umaasa. [Dasal ko] Lord, gusto ko lang simple dinner, lunch with my mom and dad,&quot; Ryan relayed in his latest YouTube vlog with Paola.  </p><p>It was in 2024 when Ryan and Paola alongside the latter&#x27;s sister traveled to Korea together for the first time. When he invited his parents to have lunch with them, Ryan recalled that both initially refused. &quot;Sabi ko, &#x27;Mommy dinner tayo with daddy,&#x27; ayaw talaga,&quot; he recounted. &quot;Tapos tinanong ko kay daddy. &#x27;Daddy dinner tayo with mom... Ayaw talaga.&quot;</p><div><iframe width="928" height="522" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LSynQhIRTrk" title="Sharing our Engagement Journey at Siesta Horchata Cafe | Ryan Bang" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>On their last day in Korea when they were about to fly back to Manila, his parents suddenly agreed for them have lunch together.</p><p>&quot;That was the best gift mo (referring to Paola) sa akin. Lunch &#x27;yun eh, ang daming tao pero buong lunch talagang kinukurot ko &#x27;yung hita ko para hindi ako umiyak. Hindi ako nagsalita but it was a dream come true. Tapos sabi ko after kumain, kape pa tayo. Nag-kape pa tayo,&quot; Ryan recalled.</p><p>The <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/itsshowtime"><em><strong>It&#x27;s Showtime</strong></em></a><em><strong></strong> </em>relayed that it was his first memory of having his parents have lunch together with him.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C1T7t3yhH2g/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A890424.1000000238%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>&quot;Kahit hindi sila masyado nag-usap para sa akin it was best nangyari sa buhay ko. Kasi nung bata ako lagi sila nag-aaway. Wala ako sa memory na tatlo kaming kumain or tatlo kaming nag-travel. May memory ako travel ako with my mom, lagi wala ang daddy. Travel kami ng daddy ko, lagi wala si mommy so it was my first memory na I had isang meal, lunch with my mom and my dad,&quot; he remarked.</p><p>The Kapamilya star added: &quot;And nabuhay ako dun kaya nagpasalamat ako kay Lord, sa&#x27;yo, and sa sister mo, and of course sa parents mo na pumayag makapag-travel. Malaking bagay &#x27;yun na pumayag mommy at daddy mo na ibig sabihin trust sa akin with you and your sister. And then it happened to me na answered prayer na kumain with my mom and my dad so sobrang saya ko.&quot;</p>
