BOAC, Marinduque, Mar. 22 (PIA) -- The Local Civil Registry Office in Boac, held a mass wedding for 39 couples held at the Boac Covered Court yesterday, March 21. | |||
Mayor Roberto Madla acted as the solemnizing officer in the mass wedding, dubbed “Officially Yours, Now and Forever.” | |||
Madla congratulated the newlyweds and explained how fortunate they are to submit to a mass wedding, since most of them have been living together for so many years without the benefit of marriage. | |||
The municipality of Boac shouldered all expenses for the event including registration, flowers, give away mugs with the newlyweds’ pictures, cakes, wines and photography services. Even the processing of the marriage legal documents and legitimization of their children were processed for free. | |||
As a symbolic gift, the newlyweds were given Gemelina and Mahogany Trees that they can plant like a treasure to Mother Earth. | |||
The couples were also given a business starter package by the municipal government of Boac through a cash loan and native piglets for their livelihood. | |||
However, they were asked to pay for it by donating back to the municipal government two piglets from the brood, which in turn will be given to other couples to be married in the future. | |||
National Statistics Office Regional Director Flordeliza Monteclaro graced the event with Provincial Statistics Officer Leny Rioflorido. | |||
Monteclaro said the decline in the number of registered marriages annually is very noticeable not only in Marinduque but throughout the country. This is why efforts like Kasalan Ng Bayan by the Local Civil Registrar’s Office are needed to encourage more couples to get married and avoid having illegitimate children. (BOAC/LBR/MNL-PIA4B) | |||
