MANILA, Philippines — Eleven people with disability (PWD) couples tied the knot in a ‘Kasalang Bayan’ (mass wedding) officiated by Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano at Lakeshore Hall, Barangay Lower Bicutan on Wednesday.

According to Cayetano, the mass wedding is a way to assure “Taguigueño PWDs that they can enjoy the same rights as everybody else, including the right to establish a happy family and a loving home, and so much more.”
