Director Rodolfo “Jun” Robles Lana Jr. and TV5 executive Percival “Perci” Intalan tied the knot in solemn rites by the Bethesda Fountain at Central Park in New York on Monday.

Lana and Intalan, both 41, wore black tuxedos. The ceremony was officiated by Paul Hertel and witnessed by family members and close friends of the couple. Reception followed at the Jeepney Gastropub, a Filipino restaurant at the Big Apple’s Lower East Side.

“Grateful for this day. Beautiful weather at Central Park, surrounded by loving friends and family and the most delicious wedding feast prepared by Jeepney Gastropub, we couldn’t have asked for anything more,” Lana said on Facebook on Tuesday.

The newlyweds kiss each other at the conclusion of the ceremony.

The couple had been together for 10 years before they formalized their union under the same-sex law of New York State where they had obtained their marriage license last week.

Lana is the acclaimed writer and director of “Bwakaw”, while Intalan is the long-time creative and entertainment production head of TV5.

On Tuesday, the couple left New York for Tokyo to attend the 26th Tokyo International Film Festival where “Barber’s Tales”, Lana’s latest film which Intalan co-produced, will screen in competition. The festival will open on Thursday.

    1. Sa US kasi gusto ng mga gays na magpakasal para makuha nila ang benefits which straight couples enjoy. Equality nga, di ba? As for this particular couple, siguro symbolic na lang yang kasal nila since hindi naman recognized ang same sex marriage sa Pinas.

    8. im not against gay relationship, but i think marriage is too much. as u read the bible, marriage is for man and women and it is something so sacred. i feel like it lose its sacredness bcoz of the thought that anyone could do it.

    10. I have a gay relative who is now married to his partner. I was never against their relationship but I didn't attend their formal union in the UK. It's simply because of my Catholic beliefs.

  8. So many bashers, IMO the least that you can do is to stop commenting those statements. Do something else if you can't be as ecstatic as they were. I just hope nobody will do the same in your own wedding, or in your loved one's.

  10. What a classy wedding! I want to get married in Central Park too!

  11. I believe that marriage is not always about GENDER but how you handle the relationship and understand each other regardless of sexual orientation. At hindi lahat may kakayahang magpakasal at mabigyan ng pagkakataon na makahanap ng taong magmamahal sayo. Goooo! I am happy for them. <3

  12. congrats guys... hope to find mine too... enjoy and best wishes.... yung iba dyan inggit lang.. hope you find your at pag-inaya kayong magpakasal ng taong sobrang mahal nyo.. tingnan ko lang kundi manginig ti_g_e nyo na magpakasal din.. wag kayo mga nega... just be happy na lang for them...

  13. wishing them happiness! who are we to judge?

  14. If you really love each other, do you really need to get married? Wala naman benefits ang pagiging married except for taxes lang and alimony/palimony. Straight ka man or hindi, walang makakapag hiwalay sa dalawang taong nag mamahalan. Unless insecure kayong dalawa at you need that "so called bind" para lang mag sama kayo habang buhay. Puwede naman kayong mag sumpaan dalawa habang buhay sa harap ng diyos diba at sundin yung sinasabi sa bible.

    1. Anon 2:12pm, it's their choice if they wanted to get married. besides, they can afford it so, why not?

      Delete
    2. while it is not necessary for a couple to get married for the purpose of publicly and legally confirming their love, it is still NECESSARY for the couple to get married legally because when things are fine between the two of them there is no problem regarding dividing properties etc... but when legal problems arise (money, properties, family members, rights, etc), this legal document called marriage certificate serves as a legal basis.

  15. Congratulations to the newlyweds. :-)

  16. to AnonymousOctober 17, 2013 at 2:09 AM you do need to be gay for you to understand how it feels to be one. and you really wouldn't understand our point if you will not open your mind.

    another thing, people don't get married just to make their relationship legal or be recognized by the government. people get married because they LOVE EACH OTHER and that is the only reason. they would care what the people or the entire government would say regarding the legality of the ceremony for as long as they love each other and they just have it nailed.

  18. Walang basagan ng trip. Trip nilang magpakasal e kung hindi niyo trip e di hindi. Simple lang.

  19. Happy for the both of them. Having someone you really love and be your partner for the rest of your life is indeed a great gift from God regardless of his/her gender. I salute those people who loved truthfully and authentically.
