A unique wedding ceremony recently took place in the Philippines. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The bride and groom, as well as the guests, participated in the ceremony underwater, submerged up to their knees. This event spread widely on social media, once again showcasing the resilience and tolerance of Filipinos.
However, such occurrences are not new. In recent years, several similar weddings have been held in this historic church.
These events highlight how serious the issue of flooding is in the Philippines. The Philippines is located on the Pacific Ocean coast and is known for experiencing many tropical storms.
About 20 cyclones occur each year, half of which directly affect the country. This leads to constant rain, flooding, and landslides.
As a result, instances of water accumulation and remaining underwater are increasing. In an interview, the bride Jamaica and the groom Jade mentioned that they thought a lot about whether to cancel or continue the ceremony in the last moments.
However, due to love and the support of their loved ones, the wedding continued. After the ceremony, they went to a health center to take antibiotics to protect against waterborne diseases, particularly hepatitis and leptospirosis.
Interestingly, just a few hours after the wedding ceremony, a funeral was also held in the same church, submerged up to the knees in water. This situation further illustrates how urgent the issue of flooding is.
In the Philippines, many aspects of people's lives are affected by flooding, and there is a pressing need to take serious measures to address this problem
