Last year, around 105 couples tied the knot during the local government’s “Kasalang Bayan”.
“Ating nasaksihan ang pag-iisang dibdib ng 100 magkasintahan sa Malabon. Ito ay naisagawa upang magbigay ng saya sa kanila, dahil alam nating matagal na nilang hinihintay ito na siyang magmamarka ng bagong landas na kanilang tatahakin ng sabay bilang mag-asawa. Nawa ay ipagpatuloy at mas mahalin, at piliin niyo ang inyong asawa araw-araw at kahit ano mang pagsubok ang dumating sa inyong buhay (We witnessed the union of 100 lovers in Malabon. This was done to give them joy, because we know they have been waiting for a long time for this to mark the new path they will walk together as a couple. May you continue and love more, and choose your husband every day and no matter what trials come in your life),” Mayor Sandoval said.
The city government prepared a dinner reception for the newlyweds who received a P5,000 cash gift.
The ceremony ended with a fireworks display outside the venue to celebrate the wedding of the 100 couples.
Present during the ceremony were City Administrator Dr. Alexander Rosete, Malabon’s First Gentleman Cong. Ricky Sandoval, city councilors, department heads, and employees who served as committees, and families of the couples.
