A supposed wedding in Cagayan de Oro turned into a viral scandal after a group of suppliers accused a bride of scamming them out of P270,000 for an event that never took place.
Wedding organizer Apilado Arvil of Barra, Opol, filed a complaint against November Justine Gay Jaudines of Buhangin, Davao del Sur, claiming she promised to pay after the wedding but failed to do so.
Jaudines allegedly introduced herself as a niece of Senator Christopher Lawrence ‘Bong’ Go and a civil engineer.
According to Arvil, the event was scheduled for 3 pm, but by 8 pm, no guests, judge, or father of the bride had arrived, prompting him to report the incident to the police.
“Pag ka 8 am (March 10) naghinay-hinay nag abot ang mga suppliers. Buntag nasugdan na tanan preparation. Nag pictorial na. Nag make-up na. Tanan-tanan kompleto na (kana) sya hangtod na gabii na. Natingala na ‘mi kay wala’y niabot,” said Apilado over iFM-Rmn CdO.
Jaudines and her supposed groom remain in custody at Cogon Police Station 2.
She claims her father will pay the suppliers, but no payment has been made as of press time.
Meanwhile, social media users have come forward with similar accusations against Jaudines, claiming they were also scammed.
The groom, from Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental, told authorities he had a one-night stand with Jaudines in Davao last September and agreed to marry her because she was pregnant.
Vanessa Aleria, who worked as the bride’s assistant, noticed inconsistencies throughout the wedding preparations.
“There was really something off about her,” Aleria said in Bisaya in a Facebook live video.
Arvil plans to file an estafa case against Jaudines if she fails to settle the payment today, March 11.
