City Mayor Arthur Celeste who administered the ceremony for 169 pairs before their families and friends at the Quezon Island, advised the couples to put God in the center of their marriage.
He also thanked the sponsors and organizers of the event led by the city’s Civil Registry Office headed by Lovely Milles.
Lorenzo Ocampo, Pag-IBIG Fund Dagupan Branch Manager, urged the couples that joined mass weddings to start saving for their own house to benefit their families through their agency’s programs.
Meanwhile, Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) Region I Director Socrates Ramores said his office supports the mass wedding because it forms part of the agency’s observance of Civil Registry Month every February. (Johanne R. Macob)
