Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez has confirmed that First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos will represent President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. in the mass wedding, dubbed “Officially, You and Me sa ‘23 with Mayor Albee.”
“I asked the Guinness (Book of) World Records if we could qualify. There’s none yet in just one venue. They have (a record) for multiple venues of mass wedding but (this number) in a single venue, there’s no record yet,” Benitez said.
