With their wedding a much-anticipated event, fans of Kapuso stars
Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera will be allowed to share in the moment
outside the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Cubao, Quezon City.
In an interview with Unang Hirit on Tuesday, Adlai Astoriano, head of
security for the wedding, said fans are allowed at a certain area in
front of the church, where they set up barricades.
"Pwedeng tumayo 'yung mga tao dito, pero hindi lang dito sa loob (ng
barricades), para lang ma-clear natin 'yung area, and hindi magulo 'yung
activity natin later," he said.
He added: "Medyo mahirap i-secure ito dahil nasa open area tayo,
but we had about three months [of] preparations para sa security."
The area enclosed by the barricades will serve as the drop-off point of guests, as well as the bride, he added.
A widescreen has also been set up in front of the cathedral for the
fans to witness the wedding from outside. The wedding ceremony is
scheduled at 2:28 p.m. Tuesday.

"Right now may total closure na tayo. Bubuksan natin siguro ito mamaya pang 9 p.m.," he said.
Astoriano said they have coordinated with the barangay, which in turn
talked to the residents of the area "to bear with us" for the said
event.
For his part, Ramon Salas, captain of Barangay Immaculate Conception, said they prepared for the wedding as early as October.
He said most of the residents there are "excited" that Dantes and Rivera's wedding will take place there.
"Mixed emotions ang reaction nila. 'Yung iba excited, 'yung iba hindi
nila maintindihan, pero overall, masaya naman 'yung mga tao," he said.
He added that Dantes is a "son" of the barangay, having been raised there.
"Anak po talaga siya ng Barangay Immaculate at siyempre ipinagmamalaki po namin siya dito," Salas said. —Rose-An Jessica Dioquino/KG, GMA News
