Pag-IBIG Fund hosts 8th ‘Araw ng Pag-IBIG’

ABOUT 1,500 couples participated in Pag-IBIG Funds’ 8th “I Do, I Do! Araw ng Pag-IBIG” mass wedding for its membercouples, held in 13 venues nationwide on February 14.

“The mass wedding is our way of helping couples formalize their union and reminding them that Pag- IBIG Fund membership comes with benefits that can help in their lives,” said Secretary Eduardo del Rosario, chairperson of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council ( HUDCC) and the Pag- IBIG Fund Board of Trustees.

“We are one with President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s directive of helping Filipino families make the most of social benefits provided by government institutions like Pag- IBIG Fund.”

The “I Do. I Do! Araw ng PagIBIG” was awarded with its first Philippine Quill for a Government Communication Program from the International Association of Business Communicators ( IABC) Philippines in 2013. It also grabbed the Bronze Award for Advocacy Communications under the category of Responsible Parenthood at the Araw Values Award, and cited by the TV show, Philippine Book of Records, as having the “most number of couples in a nationwide mass wedding,” in 2014.
