1,300 COUPLES TIE KNOT AT BONIFACIO MONUMENT ON VALENTINE'S DAY

Caloocan one of the cities that comprise Metro Manila organized a mass wedding on Valentine’s Day. Some 1,300 previously unwed couples officially tied the knot in a mass wedding at the historic Bonifacio Monument Circle.  City Mayor Enrico Echiverri, main sponsor and officiating minister, solemnized the union of the couples at the Kasalang Bayan at 4pm.
The mayor said he is aware that many couples want or have been planning for a long time to get officially married, but usually are prevented from doing so by expenses.
