A Garden of Love Mass Wedding Celebrates Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

As a sign painter, you understand the value of creating meaningful designs that bring people together. Recently, Malabon City Mayor Jeannie Sandoval officiated a mass wedding of nearly 100 couples, an event that not only celebrated love and commitment but also environmental responsibility. In this blog post, we'll delve into the details of this unique celebration and explore how it embodies the spirit of sustainability.

A Symbolic Gesture Bringing in the PET Bottles

The Kasalang Bayan 2026 event was spearheaded by the city's Civil Registry Department, which carried a theme of a garden wedding. This reflective of the city government and the couples' shared concern for the environment. One of the most creative aspects of this mass wedding was the requirement that each participating couple bring one sack of used PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles during the event's rehearsal as a symbol of their involvement in the initiative. This simple act demonstrated the power of collective action and responsibility.

A City Government's Commitment to Sustainability

As the city government, through the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (Cenro), provided each couple with a recycled trash bin to encourage responsible waste management in their households. This thoughtful gesture not only acknowledged the couples' contribution but also set an example for future generations.

Easing the Financial Burden A Symbol of Support

To ease the financial burden on the couples, the city government shouldered all related expenses, including Philippine Statistics Authority documents, marriage license application fees, and marriage contract registration fees. This kind of support not only shows the city's commitment to sustainability but also acknowledges the importance of easing the financial strain on newlyweds.

A New Life Begins A Sack of Rice and Financial Assistance

The newlyweds received financial assistance and a sack of rice as part of the city's support for them as they begin a new life as families. This thoughtful gesture not only shows the city's dedication to sustainability but also acknowledges the importance of providing for the basic needs of newlyweds.
