Kasalan ng Bayan

Mayor Rolando 'Klarex' Uy, through the program “Klarex nga Serbisyo sa Baryo,” brings essential government services directly to communities across Cagayan de Oro including access to the City Civil Registrar’s Office in select barangays. Anchored in the provisions of Local Government Code of 1991 (Republic Act No. 7160), which authorizes mayors to solemnize marriages, the initiative helps make legal union more accessible to underserved couples. The City Government, with support from the City Council, facilitates the administrative process often easing or subsidizing requirements such as marriage registration and related fees for qualified low-income applicants. Beyond the legal process, the program is also distinguished by its post-celebrations. During Kasalan ng Bayan ceremonies, couples have received items such as lechon, cakes, rice, and wine—reportedly provided by the Uy family, highlighting a blend of official public service and personal advocacy. Through this initiative, many couples have been formally recognized under the law helping secure the legal rights of spouses and strengthening protections for their children.
