“LOVE IS PRIDE. PRIDE IS LOVE.” the Chairperson of the Film Development Council of the Philippines wrote. “Spending Valentines Day as "NINANG" to 140+ LGBTQ+ couples who are about to get married today in a lovely and intimate mass wedding ceremony here in Quezon City.”
The mass wedding was officiated by Quezon City mayor Joy Belmonte who, according to Diño, was the lady mayor’s way to support the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.
“The event may be symbolic and not legally binding but this gesture by our local government is so heartwarming and encouraging,” Diño wrote.
