“Kini inisyatiba sa kasamtangang administrasyon nga may tumong nga mahatagan og libre ug desente nga kasal, hilabi na gayud katong dugay na nagpuyo-puyo, aduna nay mga anak ug walay igong kapasidad sa pag-gasto og maanindot nga seremonya,” the Toledo City PIO said in a social media post.
(This is through the initiative of the current administration with the goal to provide a free and decent wedding, especially to those who are living in, who have children and do not have the capacity to spend for a nice or lavish ceremony.)
