Para sa akin, aalagaan ko talaga ‘yun. Aalagan ko [rin] si Ashley.” </p><p>Rave also confirmed during the interview that he will bring Ashley to South Korea to meet his family. This will also be the first time that Rave will meet his stepfather and half-siblings.  </p><p>“Actually, ‘yung nag-plan no’n ay ‘yung mama ko eh. Gusto niya na pumunta akong Korea para ma-meet ko ‘yung kapatid ko tsaka ‘yung stepdad ko at makapagbonding kami. Sabi niya kung may gusto akong isama, isama ko. Sabi ko si Ashley na,” he said. </p><p>He continued: “Buti na lang may tiwala po sila sa akin. Hindi ko rin papabayaan si Ashley. Gusto ko lang na sumaya siya doon at makapagbonding sila ng family ko. Gusto kong ma-meet niya ‘yung mga kapatid ko. First time ko rin kasi sila mame-meet eh. Makakapag-bonding rin kami ng mama ko na kasama namin si Ashley.” </p><p>Addressing questions about the pace of their relationship, especially since it has only been almost a month since they reunited outside the PBB house, Rave explained that their time inside allowed them to truly understand each other. </p><p>“Para sa akin naman, sa araw-araw na magkasama kami ni Ashley sa loob ng bahay, parang napag-usapan na namin lahat... Araw-araw kayong magka-usap eh. Lahat natanong ko na. Nakilala ko na siya kahit 4 months ‘yun. Alam ko na lahat ng gusto niya,” he said.</p><p>“Sinabi ko talaga na parang ‘Grabe, ito talaga ‘yung babaeng gusto ko’. ‘Yun talaga ‘yung naisip ko. Ito ‘yung babae na gusto kong i-pursue,” he emphasized.  </p><p>It was early this March when Ashley confirmed on national television that Rave is officially courting her, sending “AshRave” fans into a wave of excitement as they continue to follow the pair’s real-life love story unfold.</p>
