Being devoted Catholics, Mr. and Mrs. Leonilo G. Claudio and stockholders coordinated with Fr. Pete to hold the “Kasalan.”

All expenses were shouldered by the company, including the cost of food to be served during the joint luncheon party held inside the parish. A committee was created by the manager Engr. June T. Agustin. Ms. Jocelyn (Inday) Ferrer Seno took take charge of applying for marriage licenses, and other supporting documents such as Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) from the National Statistics Office (NSO).

Mr. Claudio in his speech said that the company will still sponsor a second batch of the company’s employees to avail of the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony next year.

The newly wed couples expressed their gratitude to all who made the event possible. They promised to reciprocate mercy and kindness by doing their respective duties and responsibilities to the best of their abilities. (Julian Cañete, Sr./ SJPII SoCCom)
