-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.
+BOAC, Marinduque, Mar. 23 (PIA) -- The National Statistics Office (NSO) Region 4B has awarded the Local Civil Registry Office of Boac as one of the Top Performing Local Civil Registry Offices, Medium Category.
-Mayor Roberto Madla acted as the solemnizing officer in the mass wedding, dubbed “Officially Yours, Now and Forever.”
+The award was announced during the second Regional Seminar of Solemnizing Officers, which was held on March 13 to 14 at the Sikatuna Beach Hotel and Restaurant, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. The Regional Director of the National Statistics Office Region 4B, Flordeliza Monteclaro, awarded the Certificate of Recognition.
-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.
+The awarding coincided with the celebration of the Women’s Month and the Kasalang Bayan sa Boac which has been a regular project of the Local Civil Registry Office for almost six years now and headed by Dhalia Jandusay.
-As a symbolic gift, the newlyweds were given Gemelina and Mahogany Trees that they can plant like a treasure to Mother Earth.
+Jandusay has been serving the LCRO since 1996, doing projects that encourage people to properly register public documents, particularly on marriage, birth and death of a family member. Jandusay said she continues to support projects like this because she notices the number of registry specifically for marriage goes down every year.
-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)
