PAOAY, Ilocos Norte – Lawyer Michael Ferdinand M. Manotoc and Carina Amelia G. Manglapus, the grandchildren of 1965 presidential candidates Ferdinand E. Marcos and Raul S. Manglapus, who were political rivals throughout the Marcos administration, celebrated their union at the San Agustin Church here last Saturday.
Michael Ferdinand is the second among three sons of Ilocos Norte Gov. Imee, eldest daughter of FM. Carina Amelia, on the other hand, is the daughter of Francis, RSM’s youngest son.
The pair was officially married in Makati City last Wednesday in a private family ceremony. In consonance with Ilocano culture, on Saturday was their “bales,” a traditional celebration held when an Ilocano couple gets married outside of their hometown. (Freddie G. Lazaro)
