00:00 The newlyweds have a heart of gold.
00:04 They are the ones who got married.
00:06 They are the ones who gave the gold.
00:09 Wow!
00:12 Jackpot!
00:14 This is the reaction of the guests to this wedding.
00:17 They just walked to the altar and gave time to walk around.
00:26 They were even blessed with a sparkling...
00:29 ...gintu!
00:31 Here at General Trias Cavite, we met Jermine,
00:43 the bride of the wedding of the century that was really discussed online.
00:48 When they entered our reception, they thought we were selling gold.
00:52 A lot of people messaged us at that time that you were viral.
00:56 Their wedding was followed by a lot of reactions online.
01:01 Some of the netizens stopped scrolling and wished for all.
01:06 The newlyweds have a heart of gold because instead of the guests giving gifts,
01:12 the newlyweds are the ones who have a gintu to thank for.
01:17 With matching gold necklace, gold watch, and gold coin sheet for everyone who came.
01:23 Wow! I really wish for all.
01:26 We saved money and we were lucky that our business is growing.
01:31 But the gintu is not the only thing that makes the wedding more exciting.
01:34 Because the additional prize is...
01:36 Cash prize?
01:38 That's why the groomsman, John Christopher,
01:44 is not ready to accept the 2,000 pesos prize for a game.
01:50 We have a winner!
01:53 The prize is perfect because he doesn't have a job.
01:58 The cash prize that I received, we paid by electricity.
02:02 We shouldn't have paid because it's lucky if we save money.
02:05 But we were about to cut the electricity bill, so we paid for it.
02:10 I gave the gold necklace to my wife.
02:15 But why did the newlyweds think that Mr. Germaine and Edison gave gifts to the guests?
02:21 Germaine, tell me, who gave the idea of giving gold necklace to the guests?
02:27 Actually, the idea is from us, the couple.
02:31 Because we live in Dubai, UAE, there's a lot of gold there.
02:35 So we're fond of gold.
02:37 So we thought of giving gold to our guests.
02:41 How much did you spend for all the giveaways? How many guests?
02:45 We had 100 guests.
02:47 Maybe around 300,000. All of them.
02:50 Was the happiness you felt when you saw the reactions of the guests worth it?
02:54 It was really worth it because some of them were absent from work.
02:59 And some of them came from far away.
03:01 They really gave us time that day.
03:03 What was the one that really struck you?
03:06 The most amazing reaction of the guests?
03:08 The most amazing reaction was, "Wow, they're giving us maisasan?"
03:13 It was like that. But they were just joking.
03:17 They said that the gold necklaces they gave were 100% authentic.
03:22 The necklaces were made from 18k gold. It's phoneable.
03:27 But before they can afford the expensive gold, Germaine also went through a trial.
03:35 Her father, who was a former OFW, lost his job.
03:39 I graduated from high school. My parents also lost their jobs.
03:44 They really couldn't afford to send me to school.
03:47 That's why at the age of 16, Germaine had to study and work simultaneously.
03:54 There were times when I didn't have a job or a school to go to.
04:02 That's why at the age of 21, Germaine decided to work in Dubai.
04:07 Even if she made a lot of money, it's hard to support her family.
04:12 But they say that whoever tries, they will be blamed for it.
04:17 Because of the plot twist of her life.
04:19 She will also meet her future husband in Dubai.
04:25 I already have a boyfriend, who is my future husband.
04:29 After I studied, I came back to Dubai.
04:32 That's when my boyfriend decided to get me married.
04:37 In fact, they got married twice.
04:40 In their first marriage in the Dubai consulate, Germaine didn't have a place to buy a gown.
04:45 We were in a pandemic.
04:47 We had no savings. We were broke.
04:51 At that time, I also lost my job.
04:54 My husband's salary was cut.
04:58 But we still continued our marriage because that's what we wanted to happen.
05:02 But the couple didn't stop working and asked for a loan to get a license.
05:09 Until Ebison became an aircraft technician.
05:13 And Germaine started a business of gintu.
05:18 She sells her gintu gear online.
05:23 During the pandemic, I was selling online.
05:26 The sales were still low because I was just reselling.
05:30 Maybe a year after that, we decided to expand our business.
05:36 We already have a big business.
05:38 That's when we started being a supplier.
05:41 Now, my husband has returned to Dubai because he's back to work.
05:46 I was left here, but I will also continue to work there.
05:50 So that their love for gintu can be stronger,
05:55 they decided to give back to their loved ones.
06:00 They got married again in the Philippines,
06:03 with their family and friends.
06:07 They spent a lot on the giveaways.
06:13 But their gratitude for the love of people who became part of their lives,
06:20 will never be equal.
06:22 We thought of giving something valuable that they can use and treasure.
06:28 Remember, whatever celebration,
06:33 it doesn't matter how much it costs or how much it is,
06:36 it's all about caring for the people around us.
