The Manila local government announced the opening of registrations for Kasalang Bayan 2024 slated on Feb. 14.
“A most awaited event on Valentine's Day for people in love,” the city government said.
The mass wedding is part of the Lingkod Manilenyo projects of Manila Vice Mayor John Marvin “Yul Servo” Nieto with the full support of Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna-Pangan.
Nieto said it is also part of his birth month celebration.
The Kasalang Bayan will be held at the Paco Park in Manila.
