“Hindi dumating yung mga bagay na inaasahan po namin (the things we expected did not arrive),” said the groom Jurie Mondigo.

Amidst the wedding commotion and complaints of the suppliers, the police arrived and arrested the events planner.

“Ang sabi sa amin ng wedding coordinator, na-short daw siya sa bayad sa kanyang supplier. According to her, nagamit niya ‘yung pera na binigay ng couple na para dapat sa suppliers niya,” said Police Major Silver Cabanillas, chief of Siniloan Police.

According to the arrested events planner, she will only answer the allegations lawfully, ready to face the accusations.
