Military to conduct investigation on the pre-nuptial photo shoot incident

The military is investigating the pre-nuptial wedding pictorial which was done at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, said Commodore Miguel Jose Rodriguez.

Commodore Rodriguez said that the Army's Support Command will look into the incident where a couple decided to do their pre-nuptial photo shoot at the Libingan ng mga Bayani with a theme "Till death do us part."

Commodore Rodriguez added that the photo shoot desecrated the place where soldiers and dignitaries are buried.

"Maybe the couple didn't know that they are actually violating the sacredness of the place," said Commodore Rodriguez.

Commodore Rodriguez said soldiers in charge of managing the cemetery could face sanctions.

The couple or the people who took the pictures are not the target of the investigation, he added.

Commodore Rodriguez clarified that "What we are looking at is the management of the Libingan ng mga Bayani, how it happened."

"The director probably told them (couple) to embrace the cross and didn't realize that the idea went out of bounds of decency. The problem there is they have transgressed what we call propriety and decency to the mind of the public," Rodroguez said.
