89 COUPLES GET MARRIED IN ORMOC CITY-SPONSORED CIVIL MASS WEDDING. Though it wasn’t Valentine’s Day, love was certainly in the air last June 26, 2025 when Ormoc City Mayor Lucy Torres Gomez officiated an LGU-sponsored Civil Mass Wedding at the Ormoc City Superdome. A total of 89 couples gathered to celebrate their love and officially seal their union.

Mayor Lucy invited long-married City Officials to share their heartfelt advice with the newlyweds. Among them was 4th District of Leyte Representative Richard Gomez, who emphasized the importance of constant communication in marriage, no matter how many years have passed. He also reminded couples to never forget to say “I love you” every day. Meanwhile, Mayor Lucy encouraged the couples to understand that arguments are a normal part of marriage, as long as these disagreements help strengthen and improve the relationship.

The ceremony was filled with touching moments as couples exchanged their vows and sealed them with kisses. Following the civil wedding, a Church Mass Wedding was also held. (Grabbed from the City Government of Ormoc FB Page/EV Mail  June 23-29, 2025 issue)
