Tropical Fabrics got center stage at Kasalang Bayan

The Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI) was one of the contributors in the project of radio DZMM’s Kasalang Bayan on August 15, 2007 at the Paco church in Manila. PTRI contributed 100 yards of Philippine tropical fabrics composed of polyester-abaca blends to clothe 21 couples of this dream wedding.

The wedding was a project conceived by DZMM in celebration of the station’s 21st anniversary. The idea was to grant 21 couples a chance to have a church wedding without any expenses involved on their part.

The bridal gowns and the barongs were designed and executed by Ms. Carmen Lazaro of Vonticar Bridals. PTRI director, Dr. Carlos C. Tomboc, was one of the main sponsors at wedding ceremony together with Manila Mayor Alfredo Lin and DZMM station manager, Mr. Angelo Palmones.
