ProFriends' Lancaster New City in Cavite: The Family Friendly City Holds May Forever Free Mass Wedding for 17 Couples

It’s weird how we get wedding fantasies set in our heads when we are little girls. Everyone always says that they never thought about their wedding until they got engaged, but I’m not going to lie to you. I started dreaming about my wedding as soon as I could talk. When my mom gave me my first piggy bank at four, she asked me if I’d like to save for college. “No,” I told her “College is boring. I want to save for my wedding.” I still remember the horrified look on my feminist mother’s face. “But…” she said weakly, “You know that girls can do anything! What would you like to do?” “Save for my wedding dress,” I said firmly. 

As a child and teen, I remember knowing girls who could go on for hours about their someday wedding. They’d get this glazed, “welcome to the cult” expression on their faces, and describe in great detail the music, the flowers, the dresses, the shoes, the groom’s attire, the church, the way their father would walk them down the aisle, the limo, the rice, and where they’d be going on the honeymoon. They could describe the living hell out of everything but one essential element: the groom. 

“Do you take this man to be your lawful lovely husband,” said the priest who officiated Lancaster New City's "May Forever Libreng Kasalan," a free mass wedding held at the Church of the Holy Family in Lancaster New City, Imus, Cavite sponsored by ProFriends (Property Company of Friends, Inc.), a real estate company. This day is the day that every woman dreams of, her wedding day. Little girls would plan this day with all her girlfriends, picturing it to be that “picture perfect wedding”. Most girls dream of what they want their wedding to be. Is it on going to be on the top of the hill, on the beach during a sunset, or eloping? There are many different types of weddings, but to that particular woman, it’s her little touch that makes her wedding truly unforgettable.

Little-Known Facts about Using Tampons and Why You Must Give it a Try

An average woman according to research uses about 10,000 sanitary products during her lifetime, it makes sense that researchers and women are giving serious consideration to their menstrual management methods. It’s actually a good thing that nowadays, Filipinas have become more open when it comes to using the different methods in dealing with Aunt Flo’s (a euphemism referring to the menstrual cycle) monthly visit. Although admittedly, growing up, I had only been introduced to sanitary pads. It’s not that I hadn’t heard of tampons but rather there were so many misconceptions I had of them. And if it hadn’t been to a recent invitation by Platex Philippines, I wouldn’t have gotten to know the advantages of using tampons. The said event helped me to open my eyes and assured me that all my fears about using tampons were unfounded. 

I learned that it is more convenient to use tampons down there. But because most Filipina women had this misconception about tampons, there’s a lot of untrue and unnecessary fears that held us from trying to use them. During the said event, an OB-Gyne specialist gave a small lecture about how to properly deal with menstrual period, personal hygiene and the advantages of giving tampons a try.
