00:00This October, the 11th Philippine Wedding Industry Ball will be held.

00:04It is the most well-attended wedding industry ball in the country.

00:08And this year, it is expected that more than 600 people will attend this event.

00:14This is a charity ball that will raise funds for their beneficiaries.

00:21And to give us more details about this,

00:24we have Tita Celia Cunanan,

00:26the founding chair of the Philippine Association of Wedding Planners,

00:30and Marix Gaba, the former chair and past president of PIWAP.

00:35Good morning and welcome to Rise and Shine Philippines.

00:37Thank you so much for having us.

00:39Thank you for being here.

00:40Good morning.

00:41Good morning.

00:42Good morning.

00:43Tita Celia, can you tell us how this organization started?

00:47What is the main objective of this organization or association?

00:53Okay, so in about 2000, the year 2000,

00:57a lot of people became coordinators.

01:00So we attend bridal fairs, we tell stories.

01:05And so in these stories, we receive some horror stories

01:10that our coordinating staff are acting like servants.

01:15Like, someone is applying makeup, someone is applying powder, and so on.

01:19And we are all college graduates.

01:21So we talked about forming an association.

01:25To make it more professional.

01:28Yes, more professional.

01:29There are ethical standards that can be followed.

01:32So we started, we grouped together, and about 12 of us founded this.

01:39And in about 2004 of August,

01:42we were registered as the first legitimate Philippine Association of Wedding Planners.

01:48And our mission is to professionalize the wedding planning profession.

01:52Which is good, right?

01:53Because with the different kinds of situations that you face,

01:56those people who are into these kinds of events are sometimes unethical.

02:01Yes, they receive treatment.

02:03It's really professional.

02:04It's a good thing that we have this association.

02:06But Maddox, as part of this big event,

02:08when and how did you conceptualize what we call the wedding industry model?

02:13Tell us more.

02:14So as organizers, as planners, we always do events for our clients.

02:19But we never get the chance to dress up, glam up, and attend our own events.

02:24So in 2012, about 11, 12 years ago actually,

02:29about 12 years ago, we decided, because we thought of an event

02:34where all the movers of the industry from different categories, not just planners,

02:40will gather in one venue and then get to glam up,

02:44get to really, what's this?

02:47Dress up.

02:48Yeah, dress up and be glamorous for one night.

02:51And just enjoy, have a wonderful evening as guests instead of organizers.

02:56It's like a fellowship for planners, coordinators.

02:59And normally, even before, even in its first year,

03:03we wanted to do it just before the peak of weddings,

03:07which is the Burman, so December.

03:09So ever since the first ball, it was already during either October or November.

03:15So that was the Burman.

03:17So just before that, it's like the kickoff of the busy months.

03:21And it was well-received, and it's been growing since then.

03:25I'm very proud of it. It's my baby, so I'm very proud.

03:28Wow, 11 years. Congratulations.

03:30Thank you so much.

03:31We just took a break for two years because of the pandemic.

03:33Yes, of course.

03:34This year, PAWP is celebrating 20 years.

03:38So it's a special ball because other than the 11th ball, it's also our 20th year.

03:45So we're very proud of it, and we're very excited.

03:47Wow.

03:48All right.

03:49Tita Celia, what else, what we look forward to in the 11th Industry Ball?

03:54Oh, really, we'll have plenty of prizes, surprises.

03:58And you will be meeting and networking with so many other industry suppliers.

04:03For example, the makeup artists, photographers, even the car rentals.

04:10All of them are invited.

04:12So this includes the coordinators, planners, and also the clients, possible clients?

04:18Can they come?

04:19You won't be surprised because some people bring dates.

04:23So the dates can be clients.

04:25We're not stopping them from inviting.

04:28It's more of the event of those people who belong to that industry.

04:32Because sometimes when we are working together in an event, in a wedding, for example,

04:38there are different suppliers.

04:39So we have the photographers, the videographers, the makeup artists, the caterers,

04:45and then the venue owners.

04:48We're just wearing jeans.

04:51But this time, we're all together dressed up and glamorous for a night.

04:56Yes, and I believe that you are the only ones who can see the suppliers, photographers.

05:02You have your own group.

05:05Yes, we see each other in events.

05:10So normally, we're in workloads.

05:12We're very busy.

05:13We don't really get to enjoy.

05:14Yes, we enjoy the event that we're doing, but we don't really get to sit down, enjoy the food,

05:19enjoy the beauty of everybody around us.

05:21So this is that one opportunity where everybody, all the movers from different categories really,

05:27get together in one venue for a very glamorous event.

05:31I remember, Tuloy, when you're the coordinator or one of the staff, you have the crew meal.

05:36Yes.

05:37Of course not.

05:40Of course not.

05:41When it's a ball, it's normally a four-course.

05:44Sometimes in past events, we've had seven courses.

05:48Yes.

05:49Okay, for those people who'd like to join in this event, how can they join?

05:53They can register.

05:55They can apply.

05:56We have the QR code.

05:58Just go to the Philippine Association of Wedding Planners Facebook page.

06:02It's all there.

06:03Who are the beneficiaries?

06:05Now, it's the Down Syndrome.

06:07The Down Syndrome.

06:08Yes.

06:09We choose a beneficiary every year.

06:10This year, it's going to be the Down Syndrome.

06:12How about the membership of people who'd like to join with this?

06:14How will they be able to register?

06:16Oh, for the association itself?

06:18Yes.

06:19We have quite a good requirement.

06:21You have to be registered with either DTI or SEC.

06:25Then, you have to have a business permit.

06:27And then, you have to be practicing for at least three years.
