This is the heartwarming moment a girlfriend proposed to her boyfriend, drawing loud cheers from the crowd at a concert.

The couple were watching their favourite Filipino singer's show when the young woman broke convention and dropped to one knee, holding out a ring.

Footage shows the stunned boyfriend covering his face as he became emotional during the surprise in Laguna, the Philippines, on August 13.

He wiped away tears before nodding and accepting the ring, which his girlfriend slipped onto his left hand as the audience erupted in applause.

Concert-goer Mayca Cahayag, who was seated in front of the couple, said: ‘I do not know them personally. Everyone was surprised when she knelt before her boyfriend.'

The touching moment happened as the artist performed a love song, with a spotlight falling on them.

The pair sealed the proposal with a hug, while the girlfriend proudly showed off that she was already wearing a matching engagement ring.

In the Philippines, engagements are seen as a formal promise of marriage. They are often celebrated publicly and viewed as a step before starting a family. Modern influences and social media have also made proposals more elaborate.
