PostHeaderIcon Sen. Mar Roxas and TV broadcaster Korina Sanchez wed at Santo Domingo Church

10/28/2009 | Posted by Anonymous | Edit Post




Perhaps no Philippine wedding can be called the most celebrated for this year without recalling the fabulous marriage of TV anchor and seasoned broadcaster Korina Sanchez to Sen. Mar Roxas on October 27, 2009.

In a dazzling nuptial attended by at least 3,000 well-wishers, the duo tied the knot at the Santo Domingo Church in Metro Manila on Tuesday. Many political figures, TV personalities, movie celebrities, and media persons attended.

At least 10 bishops led by Jaro Bishop Angel Lagdameo and Sorsogon Bishop Angel Valera officiated the solemn exchange of vows in the Catholic religious tradition. About 2,000 people waited outside the church to get a glimpse of the newly weds and see those who came to greet them.

The “wedding of the year” which was originally planned to welcome 10,000 guests in the Araneta Coliseum had been scaled down. Part of the money intended for the celebration was instead offered to help the victims of typhoons Ondoy and Peping that brought casualties and heavy damage to residents of Manila and its environs.

PostHeaderIcon Final plans of Mar-Korina wedding

10/26/2009 | Posted by Anonymous | Edit Post


The wedding bash with a price tag of three (3) million pesos of Sen. Mar Roxas and TV anchor Korina Sanchez in Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City was scrapped in favor a scaled-down celebration.

Opting for a fewer guests and a simpler and less extravagant celebration, the huge money to be spent for an estimated 10,000 well-wishers was instead set aside to assist the victims of the floods brought by Typhoon Ondoy and Peping. The admirable decision of the couple will surely help numerous Filipinos cope with the aftermath of the storm.

The celebrity nuptial will require Filipino attire for the limited media persons who will be granted access at the Sto. Domingo Church in Quezon City where the wedding will be held.

About 2,000 invited people, mostly members of the who’s who of local politics and the glittery segment of society will pack the church grounds during the wedding where the famous Madrigal Singers and the Philippine Harmonic Orchestra will perform. Instead of a lavish feast, only light meal will be served during the reception on the church grounds. (Photo Credit: http://www.stir.ph.com) =0=

PostHeaderIcon Noynoy Aquino announces his presidential candidacy for 2010 election

9/10/2009 | Posted by Anonymous | Edit Post


After a period of thinking, Sen. Noynoy Aquino II, the son of martyred politician Ninoy Aquino and ex-Pres. Corazon C. Aquino finally decided to run for president on May 2010. Supposed to be the standard candidate of the Liberal Party, Nonoy announced that his plan is in accordance to the wishes of his parents. His decision coincided with th 40th day afte Cory died.

Saying that he does not have campaign funds to finance his candidacy, Noynoy plans to generate electoral finances from fund-raisings from the people. The 49 year-old senator offered the vice-presidential position to Sen. Mar Roxas who earlier gave away his presidential ambition to give way to Noynoy.

"Noynoy also said that among the possible LP senatorial candidates are former Senate President Franklin Drilon, Muntinlupa Rep. Rufino Biazon, son of Sen. Rodolfo Biazon, Anakbayan partylist Rep. Riza Hontiveros, and former Rep. Nereus Acosta, who was the master of ceremonies at Club Filipino."---Malaya (09/10/09, Lopez, JP)

As this developed, CBCP Bishop Deogracias Iniguez cautioned the people not to jump to a decision without weighing what the candidates can offer. He urged Sen. Aquino to make his platform known so the people can weigh in. Accepting the fact that there is no perfect candidate, another prelate, Bishop Honesto Ongtioco of Cubao opined that a good set of advisers are invaluable in effective governance. =0=

PostHeaderIcon "Pamanhikan" ushers in the wedding bells of Sen. Mar Roxas and Korina Sanchez

6/17/2009 | Posted by Anonymous | Edit Post


In the age-old tradition of a Filipino marriage, Senator Manual Roxas and his would-be bride TV news anchor Korina Sanchez feted their respective families in a “pamanhikan,” a especial party prepared to honor the bride’s family capped with the groom’s public proposal of marriage.

After the acceptance of the proposal, the groom brought the elders of his family to meet the bride’s relatives in a happy feast of poems, songs, food, and dancing. It was supposed to be an occasion to discuss the arrangments of the coming wedding itself---the budget, number of guests, sponsors, place of ceremony and reception among other concerns.

For Mar and Korina, this pre-union Filipino custom was held on the night of June 14, 2009 in the beautiful home of the bride in Paranaque, Metro Manila. The gathering brought together the celebrities of the Araneta-Roxas clan and the brothers, nieces, uncles, aunts and relatives of the Sanchezes’ side. Visibly radiant in her sleeveless grey-brown dress, 44 year-old Korina whose parents died earlier had her friends and classmates witnessed the memorable affair. She definitely put more sheen on the feathers of Mar who needs them for the 2010 presidential election.

The specific date of the wedding planned within this year is yet to be determined in accordance with feng shui, a folksy Chinese belief system consulted to bring good luck and happiness to the occasion. (Photo Credit: http:// www.stir.ph.com) =0=
