On May 14, instead of flying out for the rumored May 14 to 16 ceremony in Spain, Co attended a grocery convention for the supermarket business of his family at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. He was photographed alongside his father, retail tycoon Lucio Co, in images uploaded by NET 25 President Ceasar Vallejos.

Accountability currently rests on the management team of the actress to definitively clarify the situation. Unless the agency provides a formal declaration regarding the exact status of the union, the public is left to decode contradictory imageries and messages that were dispatched to attendees. If the respective families fail to address the sudden shift in plans, speculative allegations regarding their private, e.g., prenuptial, negotiations will only escalate.

Allegations were made by various showbiz insiders regarding intense conflicts over a prenuptial agreement. It was suggested that the influential Filipino-Chinese family of the groom imposed strict traditional demands, including specific stipulations on post-marriage living arrangements. Furthermore, the supposed interference of the management in the personal life and career of the actress was highly scrutinized.

A group of the invited guests were forced to cope up with the sudden changes after receiving conflicting advisories. On May 12, screenshots of supposed messages were read on a video platform by commentator Ogie Diaz. An alleged message from the management stated that the wedding had been canceled, apologizing for the time, effort and arrangements made by the attendees. It was announced in the same text that Alonzo was on a flight and would personally reach out once she landed. Conversely, another message supposedly from the wedding coordinator stated that the event would be postponed to a later date.

The union was practically cemented when St. Peter the Apostle Parish in Manila published the marriage banns on March 8 for Ferdinand Vincent Pe Co and Phylbert Angelli Escalante Ranollo. The relationship was initially confirmed in August two thousand twenty-five. While the groom remained in the country, several attendees had already traveled to Spain, where the actress is an official resident. Actress Dimples Romana and her husband Boyet Ahmee were photographed visiting Plaza de España in Sevilla during the rumored wedding dates.

Despite the fallout, vigorous steps are being taken by the rising tycoon to salvage the relationship. Corporate associates noted that Co was visibly affected and not his usual self during a recent event where his family finalized a major water deal with tycoon Manuel Villar Jr.

It was disclosed by an insider that Co remains deeply in love with Alonzo. The prenuptial agreements that were leaked to the public painted his family in a negative light and were believed to be orchestrated by overzealous parties around the actress. However, these transgressions are being overlooked by the businessman due to his unwavering affection.

As a grand gesture, a prestigious artist was commissioned by Co to paint a massive portrait of Alonzo. This piece is intended to be the centerpiece complementing the luxurious furnitures in the sprawling unit he purchased in the upscale Rockwell Makati district, where premium condominiums can easily reach nine-figure sums. The public and the families now wait to see if the actress will make a counteroffer of her own.
