The occasion was attended by no less than the Chairman of the Board of FTSFI Felicidad T. Sy; Imelda I. Elido, who spearheaded the event; friends of the FTSFI; priests; and families of the couples. Many of the couples also brought their children.
It was followed by a short program, gift-giving , pictorials and dinner reception at the shrine’s patio. The mass wedding is an annual activity of the Foundation in pursuit of its religious advocacy.
