I want to share the celebration with my teammates but not take away the focus from our tournament,” the Creamline Coolsmasher star said.</p><p>While details about the weddings remain private, the volleyball standout confirmed that the two ceremonies will have distinct themes.</p><p>“Aldo and I have two celebrations, so two very different weddings,” she shared.</p><p>Despite her upcoming nuptials, Gumabao remains committed to her volleyball career as she reassured fans that she will continue playing even after marriage.</p><p>“I’m in contract for all of 2025, and I still plan to continue my career for a few more years,&quot; she said.</p><p>When asked about starting a family, she emphasized that while she and Panlilio hope to have children in the future, her focus remains on competing.</p><p>“Not in the near future—I still want to play,” Gumabao said.</p><p>Aside from being an athlete, Gumabao is also known for her accomplishments in the pageant world. </p><p>She was Miss Universe Philippines-Quezon City in 2020 and finished in the top 5.</p><p>When asked how she balances both roles, she likened herself to a real-life Hannah Montana.</p><p>“I love doing both, but it’s more comfortable in rubber shoes.

I make sure everything is organized — food, people, everything. Aldo will definitely be well taken care of,” she expressed.</p><p>For now, Gumabao remains focused on leading Creamline through a stellar season. The team is currently undefeated at 7-0.</p><p>“We constantly remind ourselves that we are blessed to play this sport. It’s all about teamwork, hard work, and support from our coaches, management, and fans,” she said.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/8/9/michele-gumabao-now-engaged-to-aldo-panlilio-1739" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Michele Gumabao now engaged to Aldo Panlilio</a></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>FROM THE ARCHIVES:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bemkoUPfYLA?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/phU2OaH5DKU?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
