Martin Nievera and Pops Fernandez showed anew why they have been dubbed the Concert King and Queen during their Missing You concert on 06 February 2009 at Araneta Coliseum.

Martin Nievera was playful as ever, even faking a kiss onstage with ex-wife Pops Fernandez. However, what will probably be remembered most by their fans and friends is the exchange of Now Vows by the former couple, a scene that brought on a lot of tears and memories for everyone.

Philippine Entertainment Portal or PEP transcribed the Now Vows. Martin Nievera began with a poem styled set of vows.

“Tonight, at this moment, I can say and it’s obvious to all that I can’t stay away. No matter what you do or who you’re doing it with, I will always be like a father and the father of your kids. I’m there when you need me even if privately, publicly, we fight.

“In front of family, friends, and God’s too, let me thank you for simply being you.

“The Pops I knew is far away. The Pops that you’re now is here to stay.

“So much to foe, you’ve grown to be, so proud am I that I quickly cried on TV.

“No matter what they say, no matter what they fight, we’ll always find a way to end our every fight. Some years ago, I said, ‘I do’ with you. Even though I didn’t do what I said I’ll do.

“So today, I am happy to still be a part of your life. Even though I am not just a husband when you were a passive wife.

“I promise you today with this my Now Vow to be there when you need me or for as long as you’re alive. For our love knows no time. Our love knows no pain. Our love takes us to a happy place. Not in the courtroom and not in Disneyland. But right here on stage, in front of every woman and man.

“The world is at peace when we are together.

“My Now Vow today is to love you forever.”

Then, it was the turn of Pops Fernandez to say her Now Vows, while ex-husband Martin Nievera listened intently.

“You know what, Mart, this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. When I was writing, I’m already crying. I couldn’t help myself. This is the hardest thing I’ll ever do, not because I don’t have a way but because I’m still full of emotion.

“Back when I was still a little girl, we have so many little dreams together. We made a vow to never be apart till the end of time. Obviously, the time changed. I’ve realized that promises can be broken. So from now on, no more promises. No more promises that we can’t keep. Only an agreement that no matter what, we will always help each other in raising our boys.

“We’ll show them the true meaning of love regardless of the situation that we’ve been through. That there’s still a happy ending when they do decide to find the one they’ll love. That even if sometimes, there are troubles and complication that will come their way. They will unconditionally love and respect their partner even in those times that are impossible.

“That little girl has found a way to turn into a woman and I thank you for the two best gifts that I will value and adore forever. And this time, I totally say without any fear…forever.

“Thank you also for finally seeing what I’m worth. I used to pray all the time that one day, you’ll see that real person in me. And I now thank you that you appreciate me for who I am.

“I promise to be your friend and that is an agreement. I am here to listen and try to understand you and help you. And I do wish you’ll find your joy and inner peace and when you do, you just got to hold on to it.

“And no matter what and whoever you will be, I will always care for you and I love you.”

Philippine Daily Inquirer Dolly Anne Carvajal summed up the exchange of Now Vows with a quote from close friend and colleague Pops “Pipay” Fernandez, “No more issues and angst. We started out as friends and we now end up as friends all over again. We both have grown up.”
