Former Senatorial Candidate weds in Civil Ceremony
29 June 2010
Former senatorial candidate
and National Broadband Deal – ZTE (NBN-ZTE) deal whistleblower
Jose De Venecia III will exchange vows with long-time fiance
Karen Batumbacal in a civil ceremony today, June 29, 2010
at the Makati City Hall.
The ceremony will be officiated
by Makati City mayor and Vice President-elect Jejomar 'Jojo'
Binay. In an interview, former Speaker Jose De Venecia II,
former President Joseph 'Erap' Estrada, and two relatives
from the bride's side will serve as witness to the ceremony.
Afterwards, a simple dinner will be held and attended by close
friends from the business and political circle.
Initially, the two were
supposed to tie the knot in a church ceremony last December
20, 2007 but decided to cancel the event twice due to security
issues that hounded the businessman and NBN-ZTE deal anomaly
whistleblower.
The two, who were both from
the information and communications technology industry, were
introduced to each other in 2005 by businessmen Ramon Arnaiz
and Ben Tesoro. Batumbacal is a chief executive officer of
a business process outsourcing (BPO) company while the young
De Venecia is the founder of Amsterdam Holdings Inc.
This is the second marriage
of the couple. The two have been annulled from their previous
marriages almost fifteen years ago.
