ELEN

Y'day 5/19/22 is the wedding day of our good friend in PP Elenita Paculanang from Zamboanga to her Irish boyfriend John Seery. I last saw her in PP in March 2019. She was getting ready to apply for a visa then to visit her boyfriend in Ireland. I think she went there in late 2019 or early 2020. When she came back she worked in Saigon n. All the best to you and your husband Len. Ikaduha n mo nila Glaiza de Castro ug David Rainey. Heheh :) Civil wedding ra mn diay tong ila lagis CDO. Nya when signing the marriage contract, nicomment jud tong ilang witness nga white guy pud nga 'she's making sure you sign the document, John' kuno. As if nagsalig pud si Elen sa laki di b? Then in another picture he said, 'don't write a false name, John'. Kadto ra mang David Kelly ug iyang wife pud ang ilang witness. Small wedding ra diay tong ila. I dunno kung sa Ireland b sila magpujo o asa. All the best to them always. Basta I told Elen n nga sija jud among idol lagi. Congratulations and best wishes, Mr. and Mrs. John Seery! ;)
