AT LEAST 18 police personnel will be married in church today as part of a mass wedding sponsored by the Police Regional Office in Central Visayas (PRO-7) in Cebu City.
The couples, who were previously married in civil rites, will spend for the gown, groom’s attire and wedding rings.
The cost of the church fees is shouldered by the police force.
Each pair will also find their sponsors, which includes police officials.
Supt. Armando Radoc, acting chief of the PRO-7’s Community Relations Office, said the mass wedding was ordered by Camp Crame. Another one may be held for police and non-unifrom personnel in June./Correspondent Chito Aragon
Valentine’s singles
WHETHER nursing broken hearts or searching for true love, single Cebuanos have some options in celebrating Valentine’s Day.
For P969 one can have a bonfire by the beach in Mactan where one can dispose of old items that remind them of past relationships gone wrong.
Dubbed “Burn, Baby, Burn,” the activity aims to help persons hurting from past relationships let go of their bitter feelings.
“There will be a big bonfire and they can burn anything as long as it’s non-flammable and not harmful to the environment,” said Mövenpick’s Director of Communications Mike Lopez Lopez.
The bar will be open from 8 p.m. to half past midnight in the Mactan hotel.
For those wanting to find love, meet new people or just strike up a conversation with others, there’s a speed dating game called “What’s Your Number?”
Lopez said the game encourages people to get out of their comfort zones and start a conversation with new people.
Speed dating is a matchmaking process that allows people to meet a large number of new people in a short time.
The same priority number is given to two random guests in the hotel. They have to find their partner by the end of the evening.
The first couple who finds each other will win a three-day, two-night stay for two in their hotel.
If the winners are of the same gender or don’t feel compatible, they can divide the prize.
“It’s like life. It’s unexpected and sometimes, you’re introduced to people you don’t like, or sometimes you like. But what matters is who you’re talking to and what you’re talking about,” said Lopez. /Reporter Candeze R. Mongaya
