In Davao, bride sells wedding dress to purchase thousands of frontliner masks COVID19
There are only a few visuals that are as symbolic as a white wedding dress. Next to the groom, it is the bridal gown that stands out and takes center stage when any woman imagines her dream wedding.
Beauty queen and Instagram influencer Tinjoy Agcopra-Gutierrez was one of the lucky brides blessed with the opportunity to wear the dress of her dreams when she wed her now-husband Reyjhie Gutierrez last December 2019. Hours after her announcement, the Val Taguba dress was sold for half the original amount to a lucky bride-to-be. “I never expected to receive such an overwhelming response. It took hours before someone decided to buy the gown but I did not confirm the sale immediately," shares Tinjoy.
The sale of the Swarovski-studded dress translated into money enough to purchase thousands of surgical and N95 masks for the frontliners at Southern Philippines Medical Center.
