The actress was visibly surprised and teary-eyed while saying "yes" as she peppered the actor with kisses in between.
After the viral news of their engagement, Dominic posted the video of his proposal while also sharing why he finally asked Bea for her hand.
"Maraming tao dumadaan sa buhay natin, some stay and sadly some would go. But I learned that all those who crossed our life served a purpose in their own ways. Then, I met you," Dominic said in the beginning voiceover. "Suddenly all that has happened in the past made sense. I learned to enjoy life on my own, only to find out that I can even be more happier."
Set to an acoustic version of Magic's "By the Coast," the video transitioned to different clips of the couple's trips and dinner dates together over the past four years, most of them drone shots operated by Dominic himself.
"It's like finding myself in someone else. Nagbago ang pananaw ko sa mundo. In this crazy world we live in, I found my peace. You and me is the peace I was longing for all along," Dominic continued. "A love that's giving, a love that is pure, a love that is imperfect, and that's just the right amount of love I need."
Dominic expressed how much he enjoyed the simplicity of Bea's enjoyable company, "Ako ang magiging pahinga mo sa mundong magulo at maingay. At sa bawat segundo na andito tayo sa mundo, lahat ng andun ka, 'yun 'yung pagkakataong buong-buo ako."
