Mar-Korina Weddings sans Araneta

Sen. Mar Roxas and Korina Sanches will walk the aisles on October 27 at the Sto. Domingo Church in Quezon City.

The planned reception at the Araneta Coliseum has been scrapped, instead they agreed to donate the amount set aside for it to various charity organizations taking care of evacuees and victims of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng. namely Caritas Manila, the Philippine National Red Cross, Sagip Kapamilya of ABS-CBN and Kapuso Foundation of GMA-7, among others.

Both Korina and Mar issued a statement on the matter:

Korina said, “We are hoping that our guests will understand why we are doing this. It really does not feel right to be celebrating – no matter how important this date is for Mar and I – at a time of calamity and difficulty for a large number of our kababayans.”

Mar said: “Matagal nga naming pinlano ni Korina at pinaghandaan ang espesyal na araw na ito. Gusto sana namin na marami ang kasalo sa saya. Pero parang hindi tama na malaki ang gagastusin sa selebrasyon sa panahon ng kalamidad. Napakarami nating kababayan ang naghihirap ngayon – lubog sa tubig baha. Pakikiramay at pagtulong na rin namin ito sa kanila.”
